Friday, February 10, 2006 Today, links from others. Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate them! But first, archaeologists have just discovered an intact pharaonic tomb in Egypt, right near Tutankhamen. Wow. From Satori: Keith Haring wall decals! From Daniel: "The villainous Lord Sinister and his evil henchmen have kidnapped professor Brixton-Smyth to find the lost gold.But in their haste they have awoken the sleeping monsters of the Cthulego Mythos!" Also from Daniel: "the wisdom of parasites." Ew. From Danny: the whiskey PC! Also from Danny: some great photos of Harajuku kids, straight from a friend who was there. Also, for the geeks in the audience, there's a photo of a vintage Transformer. Ooo, ahhh! Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! See you Monday! Jinnet @ 2/10/2006 : comments: 2 Thursday, February 09, 2006 You know, I never think about other area librarians reading Folderol until I'm told about it, like I was this morning. Yikes. Um, hi, everyone? Be nice to the radical militant librarian in black? Here's some good library news: The recently defunct Stumpers list is back, in the guise of Project Wombat! There's an entire weblog devoted to library grants, which can be very useful. Abu Dhabi features a floating book fair. I wonder if they need a librarian. Or a bar made entirely from books! Not really library-related, but interesting: the 101 dumbest business decisions of 2005, as determined by CNN. I think a condo in an old mental asylum would be great, personally. Tomorrow: links from others, and there are some truly awesome ones, so stay tuned! Jinnet @ 2/09/2006 : comments: 0 Wednesday, February 08, 2006 Spooky stuff from the past: watch Franz Reichelt attempt to "fly" off the Eiffel Tower in this silent 90-second clip from 1912. He didn't succeed, and his non-success is rather spectacular. The French police helpfully measure the crater he created upon impact with the ground, which is probably not exactly what he was hoping for. The New York City underground is explored and documented via Netherworld. Watch out for snakes! And CHUDs! And LARPers! Spooky stuff from the present: Teflon is evil and is going to kill us all. Oh, great. Not really spooky, but interesting if you're into this sort of thing: The website for the DaVinci Code film has all sorts of puzzles and cryptograms and whatnot to solve. Not spooky, just cool: The ViaReggio carnival in Italy begins this weekend! Check out the descriptions of the floats - they're very intricate. Jinnet @ 2/08/2006 : comments: 3 Tuesday, February 07, 2006 Hey! Are you scared of clowns? You are not alone in your coulrophobia! Also, don't go to Sarasota anytime soon. Fiberglass clowns will eat you. Is there a word for being terrified of your president? The war in Iraq is now estimated to cost us two trillion dollars. Yes, TRILLION. (I suppose it's not a phobia if it's a rational, legitimate fear, right?) In escapist fare, C64s take you back to the wonderful world of blippy, beepy games. I finally found Journey to the Center of the Earth, which I played constantly back in the '80s, even though I never won and always found it sort of disturbing. (Give My Regards to Broad Street was another constantly played game, but it was for C128s and therefore isn't listed. I have that game to thank for teaching me London tube stations; it came in handy several years later.) If you're bored with the inside of your home or office, consider freaking people out with a 3-D design. I don't think they're responsible for any vertigo that results. And finally, just for fun: Muppet miniature scale models! Jinnet @ 2/07/2006 : comments: 0 Monday, February 06, 2006 Today is kind of hectic. Ergo, here's the quick arts roundup: Continuing with the celebration of Mozart's 250th birthday, take a quiz and see how well you know the man. I got 14 of 20 right. FlickrGraph takes your contacts in Flickr and flings them around visually. It may not be very deep, but it's oddly entrancing. You can turn your own handwriting into a font with Fontifier. I think I've linked to this before, but it's cool enough to duplicate. A new set of U.S. stamps celebrates children's books. The Very Hungry Caterpillar (or, as Bunny refers to it, The Poorly Rendered Caterpillar) and others are featured. Galinsky features oodles upon oodles of very cool architecture photographs. I could spend all day on this site. And finally, a yakuza table! How cool is this? Jinnet @ 2/06/2006 : comments: 0
