Today: links from others! Oh, wait. We have no links from others. What are you people doing out there, having lives and such?
Therefore, it's "clean out the list of links" day. And we start with a personality test! According to my DNA Profile Test, I'm a "considerate experiencer." This is actually a pretty cool test, using sliders and ratios to determine how strongly you feel about particular things. It seems pretty accurate; those who know me, feel free to agree or disagree as you see fit.
At work, of course, I am a good corporate zombie. Archie McPhee provides some great office accessories.
For the activists: Marietta, Ohio is fighting the horrible air quality caused by Eramet's processing plants. Help them breathe better!
For the artsy: robot doll art. If your employer has a thing about seeing naked dolls on computer screens, you may want to avoid this at work.
For the culture jammers: the Bubble Project is alive and well and publishing books! See what the populace has to say on a daily basis!
Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday.

Pluto's not a planet any longer? Bah!
List of the week: the nation's drunkest cities. Columbus is #3, Cleveland is #7, and Cincinnati is #16. I'm so proud of my state. (There are only 35 cities on the list, to give you an idea of proportion here.)
Wikpedia article of the week: The Atlantic Monthly takes a look.
Helpful law librarian link of the week: you can check to see if something's on Lexis without having to sign up, thanks to this handy list of sources.
Sci-fi link of the day: an ancient Peruvian headdress has been found in a lawyer's office. I can't decide if this reminds me more of Puma Man (as seen on MST3K) or an episode of the '60s Spider-Man cartoon.
Funky, marginally-related librarian link of the day: Dirty Librarian Chains! Woo!
Tomorrow: links from others, as per usual. Wanna see your name in lights (or in HTML)? Send something my way!

Right, then. Catching up from Tuesday, we have:
And moving on to Wednesday...

Running behind, thanks to breaking technology. I'll try to have something up today, but if not, there will be a double dose tomorrow!

A quick bit of arty stuff for you...
Music: Holly sent me the link to OK Go's newest video, which is pretty damn amazing. All in one take, too!
Literature: So has anyone tried BookMooch yet? I've seen it linked several places recently, but I haven't seen any actual feedback...
Photography: Joe Nishizawa takes amazing photos of Tokyo's subterranean world.
Turning spam into art: Spam Obituaries is my new favorite site!
Turning ordinary objects into art: Cutlery sculptures can be beautiful and practical!
And lastly, here's something that has nothing to do with art but just struck me funny: a line from this BBC article about a Pakistan-England cricket match that ended in chaos when the Pakistan side was accused of tampering with the ball:
The Pakistani side refused to come out of their dressing room after tea in protest at the umpires' ruling.
I love the fact that they take tea breaks.
