These are my links for December 22nd through December 23rd:

• The ten best documentaries of 2009, according to Roger Ebert – Worth looking into, at the very least. It's been a while since I've watched a good documentary.
• Ada Lovelace– The Origin – A comic about Ada Lovelace. History as hero origin story.
• The Official Creebobby Comics Archetype: Times Table – I like tables like this. Fun.
• Motherboard – Playing well together – I like the layout of this site, even though I'm not sure what it *is*.
• Criterion Movies on Netflix’s Instant Watch – A pretty great list of movies.
• What Would Books About Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube From The 1960s Look Like? – Fun stuff. Particularly the "subversive" subtitles.
• Arcade Expressionism – Iconic video game art.

These are my links for November 22nd through December 22nd:

• JPC – Java x86 PC Emulator – I'm continually amazed at the emulation stuff…
• 50/90 | Zork Walkthrough – Brilliant. I never did manage to beat this game.
• Planet M.U.L.E. – A multiplayer game based on an old (one of the first?) multiplayer games from the Atari 2600.
• Free Speculative Fiction Online – There really is no end of awesome things to read….

• Dan Scanlon covers X-Men 1 – Brilliant
• Psychedelic Wonderland: the 2010 calendar – Pretty fun. Tempted to buy

• Allan Sanders : illustration : Superheroes – Some fun superhero art.

These are my links for October 23rd through November 5th:

• Gretel and Hansel – Delightful, though inscrutable point and click game. Based on the fairytale.
• Desktops : fiftyfootshadows.net – Many beautiful images.
• Small Worlds by David Shute – Simply astounding.
• Helvetimail – A minimalist Gmail skin. Classy.
• Arimaa – "…to design a new game with the rules simplicity but strategic depth of classic abstract strategy games like Chess and Go." Interesting.

These are my links for October 11th through October 16th:

• 500 Internal Server Error – 500 Internal Server Error
• Newspaper Club – This is a pretty neat idea. If it takes off, it could be like 17th century broadsheets all over again! Then all we'd need is a neo-Popean figure to complete the picture.
• Turkey City Lexicon – A Primer for SF Workshops – Brilliant stuff. Bad writing pitfalls to avoid/laugh at.
• How To Enable The Super-Spartan, Totally Buttonless Google Home Page – This is a pretty neat trick
• Mr. Penumbra’s Twenty-Four-Hour Book Store by Robin Sloan – A short story about books and google (maybe?)

These are my links for September 13th through October 11th:

• Gostak – An IF game written in a nonsense language. Intriguing.
• Manual of Architectural Possibilities – Fake maps + fictional history: sweet!
• perils of the uncommon skyway – A fun little comic. Surreal. Love the squirrelly artwork.
• Old Maps of London – And I mean OLD.
• Archive Binge – Brilliant. The kind of thing where one wonders why no one thought of it before. Subscribe to webcomic RSS feeds from the beginning, but at a faster rate than they're published. Eventually, you catch up.

These are my links for September 7th through September 10th:

• A fun little Batman comic –
• Bruce Sterling's Keynote – At the Dawn of the Augmented Reality Industry – It's always worth watching Sterling speak

• King of Shreds and Patches – A Lovecraftian-inspired text adventure game
• Silent Conversation – A platformer made up entirely of words.

• 201 Stories by Anton Chekhov – An excellent collection of Chekhov short stories, with recommended "starter" stories.

These are my links for September 2nd through September 4th:

• If Your Kid Eats This Book, Everything Will Still Be Okay – Looks like a helpful book, esp. with #2s imminent arrival. Or maybe not.
• Mythical Creatures Chart – Very clever Venn diagram of mythical/non-mythical creatures.
• Plastic, plastic everywhere, and nary a drop to drink – Yeesh. I guess it's probably time to stop eating fish…
• Scott Hanselman's 2009 Tool List for Windows – An astounding list of useful Windows applications.
• Squid and Owl – a set on Flickr – This just makes me so happy.

These are my links for September 2nd from 15:44 to 21:56:

• Indie RPG List – Interesting list. There's a lot more creative effort being directed at the old pen and paper RPGs than I would've expected.
• Processing monsters – Fun little monsters, generated programmatically, I guess.
• tao.pl – Lots of translations of the TAO TE CHING all at once. It's neat, but scrolling sideways to look at all of those translations can be a bit overwhelming.
• USA – RPG Game Find – One of these days (years?) I'll have time for stuff like this again.
• Delicious TV – Boxee + Delicious = Delicious bookmark powered television

These are my links for August 20th through August 31st:

• Tilt – today and tomorrow – Some fun photos. Ah, Photoshop…
• W1N5T0N – Doctorow's annotated LITTLE BROTHER – "This site is an effort to collectively annotate Cory Doctorow’s novel, Little Brother. It provides a copy of the book, with the ability to annotate it paragraph-by-paragraph." This is one reason why Creative Commons is so great.
• Origami Batman – Feeling down? Let Origami Batman cheer you up.
• Parchment – A massive collection of text adventure games – All within your browser. Wacky.
• The Nemean Lion – A delightful (joke) text adventure game. Really, it's quite delightful
• A chart detailing when HTML5 features will be available – Very useful. Poor sad Internet Explorer. The chart provides a strong incentive to switch to anything else.
