Early picks for the darkest week of the year

Something to check out instead of fumbling in the photon-deprived outdoors, struggling in downtown filled with christmas-crazed shoppers or just being generally bored.

  • A deck of Fatpack cards sure would come in handy when playing the originally imaginary Cripple Mr Onion from Discworld.
  • In RIAA’s “enlightened” opinion, no-one is authorized to rip any cds they’ve legally bought.
  • As the Mitchell report sheds light on the unsavoury doping practices of the MLB, a call goes out to add further typograhical notation into the record books beyond the inevitable asterisk to be glued onto the likes of Bonds and Clemens.
  • For those awkward “got to design a new gadget”-moments Buglabs has revealed a modular solution.
  • Ruby on Rails hit 2.0 a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully all the existing documentation is still more of less valid.
  • Finally finished Vernor Vinge’s Rainbows End the other day, and liked it far less than originally anticipated. Last week boingboing noted that the novel has officially been released gratis on the web.
  • Considering the season, the non-sequitur humor offered by the lolcats (and other critters) at icanhascheezburger.com is much appreciated.
