Grab Bag

This week’s Grab Bag

• Neato – A refrigerator that cools with sound! Neato finito. (Thanks, Dad!)
• Nuclear Blast Mapper – Way more fun than is really healthy. See how well you’d fare if local landmarks got nuked! Or vent your frustration on a community you dislike. :)
• Plain English Campaign: The Golden Bull Awards – Annual awards for the year’s worst examples of gobbledygook. Brilliant stuff here. (Thanks, Dad!)
• Recursive – A freaky recursive portrait. Ow. My eyes. (thanks again, Dad!)
• The Phrase Finder – gives the meaning/origin of phrases, proverbs, etc. Pretty nifty! (Once again, thanks Dad!)
• Lorem Ipsum – ever wonder what’s up with that “Lorem Ipsum” text? Or not sure what it is? This will give you the lowdown. (More kudos to Dad)
• Catch Michael Jackson’s Baby – a fun little flash game. Okay, a WRONG little flash game. :) (Thanks, Aunt Marsden!)
• Marvel Comics to unveil gay gunslinger – this is an old article, so I poked around to find that they are indeed available – MyComicShop.com has ’em. Totally cool!
• High school student earns A in hacking – Hacking as an independent study project. Totally cool!
• Letter to Santa Generator – one to hang on to for Christmas.
• RIAA Statistics don’t add up to Piracy – nifty article, in case you think the RIAA is right and that filesharing is going to cause the apocalypse.
