First link-batch of the year
Jan 6th, 2008 by lavonardo
Haven’t yet figured out how to do links in the blog effectively - collected in entries, in the sidebar or as asides inbetween full-blown articles, so I’ll stick to what I know, the first alternative. This batch is heavy on the retrospective, as the “… of 2007″ references are prevalent indeed (and while I’m at it, I’ll just quickly mention Rex Sorgatz’s definite master-list of such.)
- Mainoskupla, nice selection of domestic counter-advertisements.
- BBC has provided its annual list of 100 things we did not know last year.
- Matt Webb has a lot to say about microformats (and many, many other things as well).
- Lake Superior University has again put together a list of the ‘useless’ words
of the year. - A handsome image explains why high heels are bad for you. ‘mmkay.
- Warren Ellis’ take on laws of robotics manages to hit the highest take on profanity-meter in a while. Which probably means that my reading habits are on the boring side.
- Wired’s vaporware awards do not disappoint this time either (with bonus points for including Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy).
-
SCO, the originators of the ugliest open source-related lawsuit, have been unceremoniously
delisted from NASDAQ.
