Fairweather Zealot

I haven’t gotten around to writing anything (or at least finishing it enough to post), but I have managed to amass quite a few links over the last … well, few months. So block off an huor or so, and have at ‘em!

Humor

• MythBusters Unedited: Do Pretty Girls Fart? Hysterical.
• Copy Goes Here – a witty and humorous film from Coudal Partners
• Finishing the Game (video) – This looks awesome: “Anchorman” meets Bruce Lee
• My Roommate is Such a Dick! – Revenge is sweet.
• Indexed – College Majors in the U.S. The stuff she comes up with is amazing – make sure to look at the larger size.

Design

• 2008 Logo Trends
• Free Icons from DryIcons.com and some more from Famfamfam
• Adobe Edge: A first look at Adobe Thermo (video) – this looks like a cool application – I want, I want!
• Font-rific t-shirts from Subtraction Okay – this might just me finding these cool.
• Business Cards Flickr Set Some nice examples here
• iPhone Wallpapers Pool on Flickr. Also have this iPhone wallpaper site, too.

Tech

• Adobe Flash Accessibility Resource Center – nice set of information for making accessible Flash content. Also see the global Adobe Accessibility Resource Center
• Zoho.com – a great suite of online tools to rival Google Documents.
• Photosynth (from TED) – this is simply amazing technology
• WordPress Plugin Installer

Science and Nature

• Great Beasts Peppered From Space – evidence that mammoths and other ice age creatures were belted with shrapnel from exploding meteorites or asteroids.
• National Geographic – Best Mountain Pictures of 2007. Don’t miss the other collections, too.
• “Sunny 16″ rule (Wikipedia) I’d never heard of this photography rule for shooting in sun without a light meter until Michael posted something about it. Pretty simple and cool concept. And the link to the Ultimate Exposure Computer was pretty cool, too.

Miscellany

• 25 Photographs Taken at Exactly the Right Time
• Star Wars: Episode III Matte Paintings (from the artist)
• 10 Unexpected Uses for Beer
• Crazy Sexy Cancer – a great independent documentary about one woman’s life with cancer.
• I was looking up the bar where I used to work in Boulder, CO, and found these articles: The West End Tavern Is Always Fun, Comments on Yelp.com & MP3 files of Allen Ginsburg, Art Lande and a jazz ensemble playing there.
• Yahoo’s “World of Star Wars”
• Amazon Kindle e-Book Reader Pretty cool, but it’s not a small device (I’ve seen one on the train). And why do the eBooks cost more than paper ones??

These are… Just ODD

• Man Found with Maggots in Eyes Dies (via Yahoo News)
• A ‘Thumb’ Drive
• Some odd quotes: Kurt Vonnegut, Doug Larson
• Hello Kitty Darth Vader – So, so, so wrong.
