Linkfest
They've been piling up in my mail and I really dislike having messages just sitting there. So, here's what I've received in the last month or two in the way of links:
A dancing transformer car commercial (.WMV).
The 1906 aerial photography of George R. Lawrence showing San Francisco after the great earthquake.
The explanations of many subtler Simpsons jokes.
Techno rollerskating (.MOV).
Buy a handheld, high-powered laser. Definitely not a laser pointer. (You'll put your eye out!)
A trailer for Sin City. The movie looks very stylish, but with potential to be either highly enjoyable or really bad (Quicktime).
Do the robot. This kid must be double-jointed (.WMV).
Strange geek behavior, dancing to German techno. Requires sound (Flash).
Ali G in the news for almost starting a riot. Man, some people don't seem to like it when their national anthem is mocked.
UNIX as product names (for geeks only).
Something actually useful, for those of you who've made it this far. How to drastically speed up Firefox.
How to get a Free iPod. This is apparently legit and a sustainable business model. Personally, I would sign up for one of the credit cards, but given my significantly reduced income, I doubt I would get approved. I also don't want to be saddled with a subscription to some service like BMG or the like. That's probably a bit silly of me, but ah well. YMMV.
