Friday, December 16, 2005 Today: links from others. Thanks, everyone! From Dr. Matt the Commenter: Bjork is sailing a ship right now. Really! "Captain Bjork" has a nice ring to it. Holly sent me the link to Natalie Dee's site a long time ago and I keep forgetting to put it up. We both think the "stupid Ohio" drawing is fabulous. From the good people of ookee: a music recommendation gizmo named Pandora. From somewhere in my RSS feeds: Billboardom, a site dedicated to the strange and wonderful world of billboard advertising! Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday. Jinnet @ 12/16/2005 : comments: 0 Thursday, December 15, 2005 Bleargh. Today we are featuring a lovely mix of rain, ice and snow! Enjoy this seasonal combination during your drive home tonight! Anyway. Many happy tidings and birthday wishes to Zazoo! The Club Creatures will be DJing New Year's Eve at Jacobs. It's never too early to make plans. The big news in library land is that the FBI is complaining about "radical militant librarians" and their reluctance to give up patron library records. Because, you know, privacy is radical these days. It didn't take long for the t-shirts and stickers to start popping up, which is fantastic. (While looking for these, I found dozens upon dozens of great librarian-related merchandise items on CafePress, ranging from the sweet and innocent to the cynical and slightly deranged. Great stuff for the librarian(s) in your life.) Beyond the radicalism and the cynicism, there's a new concept among librarians: Library 2.0. Give it a look and see what you think. Tomorrow: links from others! Jinnet @ 12/15/2005 : comments: 1 Wednesday, December 14, 2005 Happy Monkey Day! Yes, really, it's Monkey Day. Who knew? If you've had it with the holiday season, you may find some joy in this psychotic Santa display in New York City, complete with decapitated figurines. Or you could check out some of Bloody Disgusting's recommendations for holiday horror flicks. Or you could mock this year's light displays via Ugly Christmas Lights. (Most of these don't strike me as all that bad, but I do live in an area known for its tendency to take Christmas lights to an extreme.) If you're traveling, you can vicariously live the life of a baggage screener and test your skill at identifying potential weapons in carry-ons. Wheeeeee. Jinnet @ 12/14/2005 : comments: 2 Tuesday, December 13, 2005 I spent way too long on this dollmaker, only to find that they have no long black skirts (what's up with THAT?) and that once again I can't get the hair right. No avatar maker seems to feature the "brown/black/reddish, wavy medium-length with messy bangs" style. Mmph. Today it's all about the kids. If you grew up in Cincinnati, you probably remember the Shillitos Christmas display with the animatronic elves in Santa's workshop. Someone has found the old displays and resurrected them in Mariemont! Time to organize an excursion! Many people go on about their childhood memories HR Pufnstuf. I managed to miss this somehow, but have caught up on the show since then. Now there's a weblog dedicated to that weird, weird program. Coca-Cola will roll out their new invention, Coca-Cola Blak, in Europe soon and then try it out in the States. Coke plus coffee. This is going to be...odd. And lastly and leastly, Bush Baby Toys features several toys for your completely average urchin. I like the Terror Level Xylophone the best. Heh. Jinnet @ 12/13/2005 : comments: 3 Monday, December 12, 2005 Pix of Bowie Night will be up shortly. Watch the morphing Flickr badge for details. Finally, someone's gone and analyzed Christmas carols. Some of those classics are downright weird. If your song preferences are more secular, why not send a Waffle House web card to someone? Sadly, no Waffle House jukebox hits are available in the music selection. For the bored and/or geometrically obsessed: TryAngle. You can design quite the optical illusion if you want. Or design your kitchen floor, maybe. Lovecraft seems to be everywhere these days. Now there's even Lovecraftian jewelry. This stuff is amazing. No word yet on whether it preserves your life or sanity against the Old Ones, though. Jinnet @ 12/12/2005 : comments: 0
