Link dump. Twitter says I have over 1100 favorites, but I can’t find them all, so I’m moving stuff here instead.
- 80 photo manipulations to ignite your creativity
- Microsoft ditches Family Guy special…. for being Family Guy. So, um, M$ wasn’t paying attention before?
- Off the face of the earth, the story of a group of Holocaust survivors in the Ukraine who hid in caves for three years to escape the Nazis. This one is a good read.
- An interview with Mark Holmes, Pixar Graphics guru.
- Just in time for NaNoWriMo, Every ruler who ever lived, back to 1700
- What direction should your ceiling fan be running for winter? (In the “signs I am getting old” category…)
- Five second test helps you test other peoples’ web designs… and each test takes maybe 30 seconds because you’re only allowed to see the web design for 5 seconds. Great to help out developers, also handy to test your own pages.
OK, that’s enough for tonight.

Ramblings
I have an absolute killer headache. It’s been around since noon. Not fun.
The most recent A Girl & Her Fed got me giggling though… third-tier villains shouldn’t be adopted unless you’re really going to take care of them.
Basic Instructions also had some “helpful” information on how to evaluate a new medication…
The Phillies won their first postseason game today!
And I’m working on comics.
Meanwhile, here’s some stuff from the internet:
- Pork. If you get this stuck in your head, it’s not my fault. (Flash and sound required.)
- Ralph Lauren proves they’re too stupid to a) cease perpetuating stereotypes around acceptable body stereotypes, b) feed their models c) learn Photoshop, and d) understand the ideas behind Fair Use. Backing BoingBoing all the way on this one.
- Top 10 Video Game Tips for Noobish Parents – and if you don’t know what that means, you probably qualify.
- Superhero Facebook Status Updates
- What Stormtroopers do on their day off.
Aaaand some video.
