Links Bonanza!
Marty January 22nd, 2008
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.
- Links [ ]
Stunning links! Will have to check a few of these links out!
Love that Hello Kitty Darth Vader
The “25 Photographs Taken at Exactly the Right Time” were awesome, even if some of them were fakes. I’ve seen the Photosynth demo before and that sure is amazing stuff.
I’m glad you found the “Sunny 16″ and “Ultimate Exposure Computer” useful.
And that Wordpress Plugin Installer is going to save me lots of time if it works as advertised!
Thanks for these great links.
Yeah, I thought those photographs were pretty cool.
