A tisket, a tasket...
5/3/03 23:56...a whole lot of intersting links clogging up my "favorite places" folder that I just want to share, and then get rid of 'cause they're not earth-shattering, just interesting.
Canadian Schoolchildren in the 1970's singing pop standards. Listen to the clip of their rendition of David Bowie. It's eerie and fascinating.
Why Nerds are Unpopular. A fascinating article. I didn't like everything that was said. But I agreed with a large bit of it. And it's good to know there's more people than just myself and my Mawrter friends thinking critically about the issue. (And an Ozy and Millie related to it.)
'Let there be peace in (Middle)Earth, and let it begin with me...'
A fascinating bit about why Japanese people can have more complex computer smilies, and a description of some of them.
Combine a fortune made from selling ointments, a lot of weird sculpture, and buddhist doctrine, and what do you get? The Tiger Balm Garden.
The danger of flying toys.
The Gibbon-o-matic. For those times when you need a quick Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire quote.
Look. There's a reference to Bryn Mawr in The Simpsons.
The Glorious People's Hypocrisy of Bavaria. Now online.
Umberto Eco, on the upcoming war.
Quiz: Which SF writer will you marry? I got Gaiman. Not bad. ;)
I like all of these, but especially the man who looks like a goat.
