My Scattered Thoughts

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….

A 1971 short educational film about protein synthesis. Seems worth checking out.

A series of spime diagrams. What is a spime? Something like a location-aware gizmo.

More visual language. This time an attempt to map the relationships of scientific fields of study. Fascinating.

K. got me this sweet little doll as a present. Ahoy!

If only I had had this just two weeks ago! I’ve been looking for an online file converter like this for a while.

A very cool Google Maps and ?something? mashup. A virtual walking tour of Toronto.

I haven’t actually checked the *quality* of the links, but it’s awfully nice to have the Wasteland Notes in a sidebar. It beats skipping to the back of the book.

I really wanted to go to this, but it was super expensive and there’s that whole full-time job thing… At least I can listen to the lectures. Bruce Sterling is awesome, as always.

I think this podcast was recommended by Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing

Something to try out, anyway.
