Friday, January 20, 2006 This just in: "A man on a train called in to say he might have been hallucinating, but he had just seen a whale in the Thames. " And it's true! From Holly: a hamster and a snake make friends. This is also true. Soon we're going to have cats and dogs living together, and it's going to be mass hysteria! Found on ookee: the ultimate battle that is...Ninjas Vs. Pirates. Washington may be out of the playoffs now, but Clinton Portis's strange characters live on in this tribute. Sick of bands trying to befriend you on MySpace? Now you can mock them instead via the fantastic Monsters of MySpace! Whee! Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday. Jinnet @ 1/20/2006 : comments: 0 Thursday, January 19, 2006 More news about the "radical militant librarian" label: the pins and t-shirts are coming! The offerings from ALA look kind of crappy (in my opinion; maybe you're into that sort of look), but the Librarian Avengers have a great version. I think a bumper sticker would be grand. Cool find of the day: The End of Cyberspace weblog. If you're in Canada, you can go to Starbucks today and have a Latte for Literacy. Why don't U.S. Starbucks have something similar? Are we anti-literacy? The New York Public Library has built a new fantastic-looking library for the Bronx. It's even environmentally friendly. The UK Guardian lists their top 20 geek novels. I've read seven, but I think we have nine in the house. We are well on our way to geekdom! Huzzah! Tomorrow: links from others. Stay tuned. Jinnet @ 1/19/2006 : comments: 0 Wednesday, January 18, 2006 Folderol says hello through penguin gyrations. You can create your own message as well and put the penguin through his paces. So to speak. For Star Trek geeks: the Star Trek Tube Tour of London! For geography geeks: Guess the Nation. I got 814, which I think is pretty bad. (You can use the options on the side for hints.) For followers of nontraditional religions: the Spiral Scouts organization is an alternative to the Boy or Girl Scouts. It looks like a lot more fun, actually. I don't know if they sell cookies, though. For even more extreme followers: hey, a real live Satanist is running for governor of Minnesota! Jinnet @ 1/18/2006 : comments: 0 Tuesday, January 17, 2006 Today we're all over the place. We get back into the regular posting schedule tomorrow! The grammar police are apparently called the Green Ink Brigade over in the UK. I think I like that moniker better. Metafilter has spawned the Metafilter Projects page, which has some great links. I found Role Playing Public Radio through there, and how can you pass up something like that? Dr. Who is coming to the Sci-Fi Channel! Hooray! No more scrambling about trying to find episodes online! Er, not that we would do such a thing. The Fark photoshoppers are at their best when they deal with movies and toys and books. Their interpretation of Sesame Street's Bert as an action movie star is no exception. (The Indiana Jones one is especially good.) Gwar is bizarre. Gwar action figures promise to be even weirder! I was trying to explain the bug vacuum to Bunny over the weekend, and found the product page this morning. It's nice to bugs and even gives budding zoologists a chance to study the catch before releasing it into the wild...or their sister's bed. Jinnet @ 1/17/2006 : comments: 6
