Linkage and a Meme

In a secret Paris cavern, the real underground cinema. How cool is this? I'm going to write this down in my notebook of ideas and possibly use it for my next Nanowrimo novel.

Noah's Ark plan from top Moon man. This sounds both mad and sensible. I'm leaning towards mad. There's got to be a better way.

Dear diary, you make me sick. "Keeping a diary is bad for your health, say UK psychologists. They found that regular diarists were more likely than non-diarists to suffer from headaches, sleeplessness, digestive problems and social awkwardness." The only "diary" I keep these days is this weblog which really isn't a diary or a journal. I don't write about the depressing day-to-day stuff. Usually.

Decoding the Ancients. Making the Sumerian writing system accessible to the public!

The graphic grab. "From record covers to road signs, posters to packaging, graphics and typography touch every area of our lives. Forget fine art, Rick Poynor argues: it's design that is at the core of 21st-century visual culture."

Logo R.I.P. A commemoration of dead logotypes. I recommend checking out the logo graveyard.

Prisoners milk redbacks for venom. *shudder* People will do anything to get high, apparently.

Password generator bookmarklet. Helps you generate passwords for those pesky news pages that demand registration. I think BugMeNot is easier.

The Fiction Bitch. An anonymous editor who volunteers to tear your masterpiece to shreds in the hopes of deterring bad writers from submitting to publishing houses. Uh, thanks, but no thanks. I think I'll get my criticism elsewhere. (And what one editor may think is horrible may be genius to another.)

Comparison of life in Piscataway, New Jersey; Kochi, Japan; and Zhuzhou, Hunan Province, China. Some comprehensive cultural comparisons by an English teacher.

The World Goes Silver. The 2Blowhards have just noticed this? I posted something on this last month.
