I have a couple hundred links to sort through in my news aggregator, so I’m trying to get rid of as many as I can. Here, then, are a few random links:
- The inspiration for Nerf Herder’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme song?
- Lego brick ice trays
- Hamster Sodoku. I don’t really get sodoku, to be honest, but maybe some of you will find this interesting. I much prefer what Generik called “wordoku”. In fact, I think I’m going to go do the Sunday New York Times wordoku puzzle in a few minutes. [via]
- An interactive periodic table. [via] .
- The New Yorker in haiku, every week. [via]
- Squid Soap. I’m not sure effective this really is at teaching kids to wash their hands, but I think the bottle looks pretty neat. [via]
- Speaking of squid, Lovecraftian perfumes [via]
- A giant inflatable climbing-iceberg for your pool [via]
- Elevator floor illusion
- The evolution of speech balloons [via]
- Win a chance to make Optimus Prime speak in the upcoming Transformers movie. Hey, you know what else has Transformers stuff in it? The new issue of Kaleidotrope, available for order now and shipping soon!
