Links and a Meme

Connotea. "Social citations and remote reference management...an experimental bookmarking service for scientists." Looks interesting. I guess I'll play around with it to see if it's useful.

Will Life Be Worth Living in 2,000 AD? An article published in 1961 guessing at what the future would be like.

Biologging. "A community website for biomedical researchers which allows you to create your own annotated store of abstracts and to browse the logs of other users."

MetaFilter Redesign Contest Results. I just like looking at all the entries. There's some good ideas people might want to try out if they're planning to redesign.

The Firefox Explosion. A Wired article about people switching browsers.

Small dogs as fashion accessories. Arg! It's a stupid fashion statement, that's what. It makes people look like airheads. Wait a minute, they already are airheads.

Phonetic alphabets, wordlists, texts, word frequency. Looks like an interesting resource for the linguists out there.

Mushroom Life. Oh yeah, this is awesome. I love seeing how many generations it can go before reaching a stable population.

The Rorschach Test. I'm reading the explanatory text and I'm thinking, "Naughty bits? I don't see any naughty bits." The approach is way too Freudian and how the heck can this test distinguish creative people from crazy people? Perhaps the creator of the test wanted to lock all artists up in the looney bin? (And how dull the world would be then!)

I Cthulhu. (via Pharyngula) Neil Gaiman does Lovecraft. Heh heh heh.

The origins of scientific cinematography and early medical applications. The videos included are late 19th century, documenting gait disorders. I know these are for scientific purposes, but man, those videos look eerie and grotesque.
