That’s a freaking huge machine….

I make it a point to check out these IF Competition (or text adventure) games every year. It’s a fascinating way to tell a story.

I’ve read the first few paragraphs of this. Grim, grim stuff.

A video of Kerouac reading from something. Very nice.

This list of CSS thingies might be useful for work. We’ll see.

A list of influential science and technology books. Worth checking some of these out, probably

An analysis of Orson Scott Card’s novel, ENDER’S GAME. I find myself agreeing almost entirely with this reading of the book, both in its broader implications and for understanding why I liked Card’s writing so much as an adolescent.

Downloadable, printable games. Fun?

Rushkoff’s interviews are always interesting.

There’s some cool art/toys/etc. in there.

A ‘donationware’ downloadable, pdf magazine of occult/esoteric topics.

Symbolic maps of the brain

A cool steampunk-y toy figurine, complete with monocle, robot arm and giant removable hat.

Incredibly useful breakdown of CSS selector types.

Hmmm. Buying cheap glasses online…. could be useful….

A nice list of useful free software. I’m already familiar with a lot of this stuff, but it’s always nice to have them listed in one place.

They have some snazzy looking online galleries. It’s nice to see some flickr competitors out there.

You can’t go wrong checking out a list of books put together by Bruce Sterling.

I sure do miss the music scene in Portland….

Tolkien and academia reunited at last….
