Friday, August 18, 2006 Links from others! Thanks, everyone! From the Graveworm: the sketch a psychic drew after the Jon-Benet Ramsey death looks quite a bit like the guy they just nabbed. (However, I tend to agree with Mr. Graveworm that it's likely this guy, on the verge of getting arrested for something similar, decided that U.S. prisons might be nicer than those in Thailand and made up a good story.) Also via the Graveworm: the NSA is doing nasty illegal stuff, and the Bush administration should really, by rights, go down in flames for it. From Bunny: Mike Nelson Goes to Work. I'm so glad the MST3K people are still doing stuff. Also, Mike and Kevin Murphy are still riffing on movies through RiffTrax; I think I'm going to buy the episodes and pretend MST3K's still on the air for as long as I can. From Glenna: the International AIDS Conference ends today, but there's a wealth of information on their website. Also from Glenna: the perils of writing chick lit. (I don't really get chick lit, myself. Then again, I'm not terribly chicklike.) From Holly: KittenWar! Check out the losingest kittens. The Hairless Rexes and the Abyssinians are getting a raw deal. It's hard to compete with fuzziness. Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday. Jinnet @ 8/18/2006 : comments: 0 Thursday, August 17, 2006 When the Onion calls Jim Belushi's book uncatalogable by the Dewey Decimal System, OCLC steps in to work things out. Hee. See, librarians do have senses of humor! News librarians are finally getting some publicity. I miss being a news researcher. Kentucky librarians are now there for you 24 hours a day. I wonder what the 3 a.m. questions are like. Speaking of strange questions, the AOL search fallout has resulted in a Slate article categorizing searchers. I think I'm the Omnivore. Google's newest innovation: music trends. I always thought I was an alternative music girl, but evidently I like a lot of indie music according to Google. Maybe I'm a latent hipster and don't know it. For the graphic novel aficianados: check out the Comic Books Archive! The National Priorities Project shows you how government money could alternatively be spent. If the war in Iraq wasn't going on, for instance, Ohio would have enough money to hire 176,333 music and arts teachers. The Bamiyan Buddhas may be rebuilt! Huzzah! Tomorrow: links from others. Jinnet @ 8/17/2006 : comments: 1 Wednesday, August 16, 2006 If it's Wednesday, that means it's time to zip around the world and see what's happening. But first, in honor of the Star Trek fans who commented on yesterday's link to Princess Leia, I give you...TrekJews. "Bimah Me Up, Scotty!" is an actual article title. Ha! Heading east, we find the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York City, which looks a little like a futuristic Leonardo Da Vinci gallery if the website's anything to go by. The International Street Theatre Festival is going on in France, and if you need help getting there an amazingly comprehensive listing of European railway networks may be useful. It's only a month until the Homeless World Cup takes place in South Africa. Yes, really! Delegates are showing up from around the planet! Over in Australia, the national Film Commission launched several UFOs and documented the reaction. UFOlogists are not too thrilled about this. And finally, back here in the Cincinnati area, the Cardboard Boat Regatta is set to take place this weekend. Awards are given for the longest-lasting boat as well as the most spectacular sinking. Never a dull moment in this town! Jinnet @ 8/16/2006 : comments: 0 Tuesday, August 15, 2006 The Graveworm informs me of the upcoming arrival of the Princess-Leia-in-a-bikini model kit. It's a little frightening to realize how many men of my generation were influenced by this costume... Additionally, to those of us who grew up in the '70s and '80s, HandHelden brings you a wealth of information on handheld video games of that era, when a quarterback was represented by a tiny red dot and Speak 'N Spell was the height of technology. (I never saw the Omni before, but wow, that would have been awesome!) Is Pluto a planet? That burning issue (along with several others) is being discussed this week. The newest idea of how to treat depression involves...ketamine. I suppose being in a k-hole might be preferable to the pit of despair every so often, but it doesn't seem like a terribly healthy solution. New adds to my RSS feed: the Laundryroom Swapmeet (we would have done something like this back in college, if we'd all been on the web) and BookSteve's Library, which is chock-full of great stuff (and is also located just across the river from us, apparently!). Jinnet @ 8/15/2006 : comments: 4 Monday, August 14, 2006 Today seems to be all about visual arts. Photography: Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir has risen to fame via Flickr, which is fantastic, as are her photos. (Paging Holly: she's Icelandic!) Puppetry: Lunatique Fantastique creates stories and characters from found objects, while Famous Puppet Death Scenes portrays...well, I guess it's pretty self-explanatory. Animation: China bans foreign-made cartoons! This is a job for...er... Film: Paging Satori: now you can get David Lynch ringtones. I didn't see any backwards speech from Twin Peaks, but I didn't look too hard, either... Jinnet @ 8/14/2006 : comments: 0
