- The story about the classic “car on the roof” trick at Cambridge–my favourite bits are how they used skirt-hitching distractions, and the bit about the case of champagne the Dean sent.
- Dawn Tyler Watson & Paul Deslauriers performing Led Zeppelin’s classic Going To California. Make sure to click the “watch in high quality” link.
- There’s a new Negativland album coming out! I repeat: a new Negativland album!
(Yes, I am now getting Youtube links from ficitional characters.)
- What happens when the Canadian Space Agency advertises that they have two spots open for astronauts?
- Radioarchive keeps me in radio plays, and the occasional non-fiction piece. And every once in a while there will be something like… well, like a special on one of my all time favourite movies. Boy I love the Internet age.
- The Alice Chess Set, which makes lovely use of LightPoints and Mirona. Not just a terribly cool chess set, rife with lit’rary allusions, but also a real reminder that we are totally living in the future. I wish I could buy one of these in production.
- Those dudes who are trying to build a real-life Gir (the robot from my second-favourite cartoon–it used to be on top, but The Venture Brothers recently pulled into first.)
- Captain Tightpants versus Doogie Howser!
- Ferocious J‘s violin is powered by PURE WILL. (If you get that, you’re a geek.) Also, he really should just give out the notes.
- Apparently the Internets are going to let me get my name (or more likely my daughter’s name) in Justine’s next book for a relatively small amount of money–I am disappointed in the Internets, they should make this harder for me. Oh well, there’s still ten days.
- I read that if you eat enough watermelon it’s functionally equivalent to taking a Viagra. I don’t know why I find this so hilarious.
- And this.
And that should do it for tonight, since I’m not likely to top the closer.
