Linpharm:
- from Boing Boing — Walk/Don’t-Walk-Man remixer adds clothes to traffic signals; Smiling disallowed in German passport photos; Old Yeller dogfood ; and Reenactment of Nelson’s funeral on the Thames (I do hope they didn’t entrust this last one to the Batley Townswomans Guild. That’s just asking for trouble.)
- from Generik — unintentional truths. You’ll get no argument from me.
- from Waxy.org Links — Documentary about deaf musicians released without closed captioning; The Simpsons for the blind; and Computer programmer uses Google Maps to discover Roman ruins. (Unfortunately, the Nature article in question seems to now be subscriber-only.)
- from Gwenda Bond — International Superheroes; and lesser-known editing and proofreading marks. Having done my own fair share of copyediting and proofing, I think I can safely say these would come in very handy indeed.
- from Defective Yeti — some new vocabulary to add to the lexicon
- from Gawker — Thieves snort dog’s ashes in cocaine bungle; and Martha Stewart learns to rap. (I dunno, but if he’s gonna teach her, shouldn’t Diddy learn first?)
- and from Invisible City Productions — Discardia, which you celebrate “by getting rid of stuff and ideas you no longer need.”
