- YouTube: Crayon Physics Deluxe #
- I love the wide-open scope of it. I wonder if I can draw a little person to push it.
- Garfield Minus Garfield #
- "Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?" Well worth a look.
- KPJ: Asus Designers Have Really Great Ideas #
- Another nice blog design. Anyway, get this: an Asus machine that competes (poorly) with the Mac mini has the ultimate attachment: a pen holder! Mac mini killah, yo!
- YouTube: Sarah Silverman - I'm Fucking Matt Damon #
- Pretty funny, huh? Well just you wait 'til you see the response.
- NYT: Box Office Revenue Infographic #
- Revenue, broken down by film and presented very tidily, for films from 1986 to 2008.
- The First Photoshop Icon #
- So freakin' cool.
- Contrast: SEO Is Bullshit #
- Mildly offensive content (to certain readers), really awesome blog design.
- Daily WTF: I am right and the entire industry is wrong #
- "Therefore, the solution to this specific technical problem, and every technical problem that you will have in the future with multimedia, is framing."
- NYT: Obama Steeped in Security #
- Some New York Times for ya. Obama has a high profile due to his race and message of change. Hillary, on the other hand, has the opposite problem. (Have you seen Election? You should.)
- The Atlantic: The Great Firewall of China #
- Highly informative.
- Kottke: Interview with HD DVD player owner Steven Johnson #
- I thought this was going to be satire, but that's not really Kottke's style. I was impressed by how well Johnson took it, Twittering: "Chuckling at the fact that the ENTIRE PLATFORM died a month after I bought my HD-DVD player."
- Rands: It’s Windy in Wellington #
- This man was one of the highlights of Webstock, and then he goes and writes the best blog post about Webstock. Stop it, already!
- PAN: Pansplosion #
- From the greatest hits.
- CSS Type Set #
- Really nice tool for website designers.
- Infrastructure Activism #
- Those Dutchies...
- Mozilla Messaging #
- Organisation formed around Thunderbird. Currently working on v3, which will incorporate calendaring (hear that, Outlook?) and mega awesome search. That's a very fancy website, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they were building a spaceship.
- Daily WTF: We Don't Need Requirements #
- Ah, memories.
- An Interview with John Gruber #
- And it's a good one. Took me back to the halcyon days of early DF. Remember when?
- YouTube: Jonathan Coulton's Re: Your Brains @ PAX #
- Well, that was thoroughly enjoyable.
- The 2007 Feltron Annual Report #
- She's a beauty.
- xkcd: Journal (Part 1) #
- That's not bad. But really, you read that so you could read Journal (Part 2). Geez, he writes emptiness well.
- Cringely: Microsoft the Symbiotic Changeling #
- "The only thing that will truly change Microsoft, insiders have long felt, is a huge injection of foreign DNA in the form of a large acquisition." You can't be a pirate forever.
- Ars: Knee-deep in the dead #
- "But then Lyons throws one of Ballmer's own analogies back at him: 'It's like taking the two guys who finished second and third in a 100-yard dash and tying their legs together and asking for a rematch, believing that now they'll run faster.' In the end, he ends up irresistibly attracted to the idea of a sad, desperate, Microsoft." I mean fuck me, is this not the title of the year so far?
- YouTube: I'm Never Gonna Let You Go #
- I love how there have been 1039 comments so far. I imagine they are all excellent.
- Terry Semel’s Hollywood Ending #
- "I keep imagining a 2001 Help Wanted Ad that goes something like this: 'Most popular and promising internet company looking for a new CEO to come and re-direct the company into a giant shithole. Compensation includes a permanent suite at the Fairmont and $500 million.'"
- BBC: Microsoft and Yahoo's shotgun marriage #
- "If Yahoo agrees to the deal with Microsoft, it will be a shotgun marriage, but it will be Google holding the shotgun."
- Microsoft Help: Opening the Windows Vista box #
- Reading the title, I thought this had to be a parody, but apparently it really is very hard to open the box. This is so absurdly bad, I'm not sure how to respond. It's like making fun of a retarded kid.
- YouTube: Scared Sheep #
- After a week without the internet, it's good to get right back into it with something like this. This is so internet.
