Month: June 2008

These are my links for June 23rd through June 25th:

• Wordle – Yellowing – This is a word/image/mashup thing of a piece that I wrote, oh, probably a decade ago.
• Adorable_SeasideSmall.jpg (image) – Brilliant Greek myth allusion
• How would different SF/F Authors Escape the Prisoner's Island as Number 6? – I'm happy to say that I've read all of these writers. One could do worse. Funny.
• ARCHAEUS — Volumes 1-5 — Highlights, Tables of Contents, Some Downloads – Archaeus was published from 1983 (volume 1) to 1989 (volume 5).
• Summer Reading List, 2008 | Roy Christopher – This is an impressive list of books. Looks like about 3-4 summers' worth!

These are my links for June 19th through June 22nd:

• Zetetic Scholars — Highlights, Tables of Contents, Some Downloads – According to Wikipedia, founded by Marcello Truzzi. "zeteticism as an alternative to skepticism, because the term skepticism, he thought, was being usurped by what he termed "pseudoskeptics""
• Read it Later – Firefox Extension BETA – Seems like a nice idea. Similar to Readeroo; wonder if it integrates with del.icio.us
• Coudal Partners' Field Tested Books – "We had this notion that somehow through experimentation we could identify how our perception of a book is affected by the place where we read it."
• ALEXEY TITARENKO | Photography: City of Shadows – Time lapse photos of crowds. Creepy.

These are my links for June 14th through June 18th:

• The Perfect 3 Column Liquid Layout – Some brilliant webdesign here, as far as I can tell.
• Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – Why, Deletionists? Why must you be so ridiculous and nitpicky?
• TV in Japan » This is what TV is like. In Japan. – Seems like it could be delightfully bizarre. This is the world that Joe has entered.
• FraAOOOOOOOOOIIIIink: Detourning the Dream Factory « Mindless Ones – A critical essay on Jim Woodring's comic, THE FRANK BOOK. Excellently done.
• The Meaning of Box 722 | OurFuture.org – Our racist, racist history.

These are my links for June 10th through June 13th:

• Illustrated Quixote – Lots of illustrations of Don Quixote. Probably worth delving into further.
• Terence McKenna Audio – I've listened to Terrence McKenna talk about Joyce's FINNEGAN'S WAKE. He had some pretty amazing ideas and thoughtful ways of expressing them.
• Wordle – Beautiful Word Clouds – Really. How could I not love something like this?
• Moodstream – a pretty slick image…. widget… from Getty Images –
• MMORPG Tycoon [FINISHED] – Ha! It's sort of a metagame about running the administrata of a MMORPG. Freaking brilliant! (Though it may end up a bit too much like actual work…)
• WTF?! – a World of Warcraft parody – Game as satire. Funny.

These are my links for May 28th through June 10th:

• wmd – The Wysiwym Markdown Editor – This looks really neat.
• Mark Twain?s Top 9 Tips for Living a Kick-Ass Life – Gotta love Mark Twain.
