Friday, October 14, 2005 Wow, today is busy. Thanks to everyone who sent in a link! From Bunny: the freefall of George Bush. This is oddly satisfying and calming. From Glenna: The Basic Laws of Stupdity. From Nicole: fun robots and skulls and whatnot for your home! From a mailing list I'm on: Haunted Times magazine is on the stands! Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday! Jinnet @ 10/14/2005 : comments: 1 Thursday, October 13, 2005 First off, apologies to Dr. Matt for forgetting to post about National Coming Out Day on Tuesday. Here's hoping it was a good day for everyone! News from the Obvious Department: classes are getting increasingly high-tech, and librarians aren't your typical shushing spinsters any more. (One of the librarians interviewed was Jessamyn of librarian.net, who's going to be among the presenters at Internet Librarian. This is exciting!) Google now has a feed reader, which I haven't tried out yet (I am still loyal to Bloglines), but may be interesting for the future. Also, in other techy news, meebo is a web-based chat aggregator of sorts, which seems pretty cool and minimally invasive, and Common Times shows the news in a cool new way. For the law librarians and personnel among us: The Graveworm is now hosting a page for random weirdness found in legal publishing. There's going to be some good stuff there soon - I got a preview yesterday! And lastly, cookbooks for the literary-minded. I could get into those, I think. Tomorrow: links from others! Jinnet @ 10/13/2005 : comments: 0 Wednesday, October 12, 2005 Wow, the Halloween season is chock-full of great stuff this year. Chicago is putting on the Music Box Massacre this weekend, and AMC begins Monsterfest the weekend after that. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has an exhibit titled Photography and the Occult that looks fantastic as well. Meanwhile, for those of us stuck at our desks, there's all sorts of good stuff to read and experience on the interweb. Dark, But Shining continues its countdown of monsters (and even Animal from the Muppets gets a mention!); Tales to Astonish reviews several horror movies (and, in the process, points to one of the best t-shirts ever); and for the gameplayers, Lovecraft Country and Vampires! is there to enthrall. This is the best time of year, no question. Jinnet @ 10/12/2005 : comments: 1 Tuesday, October 11, 2005 The annual Ig Nobel Prizes have been handed out! I think my favorite was the one involving locusts watching Star Wars. It's true! Today's argument between the Graveworm and myself (we have one every other day or so) concerns the Three Investigators, which (whom?) we both love, and the news of upcoming movies and TV shows featuring the Investigators, which fills me with fear. The Graveworm is trying to tell me that it may not be so bad, Harry Potter films well, blah blah blah, but I remain unconvinced. (Incidentally, Tunnel Two is a neat Investigators site, although it hasn't been updated for some time.) Muslim girls have fallen in love with Fulla, an Islamic answer to Barbie. I think Fulla looks pretty cool, myself. Apparently she comes with a prayer mat as an accessory! Meanwhile, Playmobil is currently featuring a rather inexplicable security checkpoint set, complete with security staff and traveler/potential suspect. The comments on the toy are pretty funny. Project Puppet! For all your puppet project needs! This is awesome. I may make use of this for Meet Cleaver Theatre. Jinnet @ 10/11/2005 : comments: 0 Monday, October 10, 2005 On Thursday you can pay tribute to and celebrate the life of legendary DJ John Peel, as it'll be John Peel Day in the UK. See, I'm telling you in advance so you can get there! While you're in London, you could check out the Sherlock Holmes Society as well. They seem to be having all sorts of reenactment fun. And for the more introverted, there's the Baker Street Dozen site. Great Flickr collection of the week: an assortment of photos taken by someone who worked as a still photographer in Hollywood from 1914 to 1932. The Bubble Project uses speech bubble stickers to create art and humor and all sorts of emotional responses. Some are hilarious. The Ephemera Society celebrates the assorting of various sundry objects. Hooray! Jinnet @ 10/10/2005 : comments: 0
