linker by the dozen

jinianLots of stuff today. I'll be nice for those of you who may not care and use my
Special Mega Happy LJ-Cut Power!
First off, we have news about what happens after you're dead. How long do you suppose it will be before the advertisers pick this up?
Wisdom and foolishness from Japanese fashion:
"Of course, if your clothes are covered with jewels you can't go to war."
There have been at least five reported shoe-related fatalities, one involving a twenty-five-year-old who died after tumbling off her own footwear, and another who lost control of her car's brake pedal and crashed into a pole, thereby killing her passenger.
Moving on to the erotic and bizarre ('cause we don't go there every time or anything), please observe the fascinating world of Taschen eCards, new airport x-rays, and caribou condoms.
Strangeness and cool technology:
People get mad at me when I think people are doing cool things with computer viruses. Well, they are. The one the link talks about was pretty clearly a proof of concept, but I have to deplore it anyway -- I get grumpy about chain emails, and the worm would cause more junk mailing than they do.
Some clever people have made a really nifty-looking 3D file system browser for OS X. OS X is pretty anyway, but this is beyond cool. Want the new iMac. Want the new iMac. Want the new iMac.
Cool wargaming toys! Anything called Spurious Victorian Armored Fighting Vehicles has my seal of approval right away.
Crackpots off the port bow -- The Anomalist has an article about mutated organisms eating Mir. They can't quite seem to decide whether the organisms are viruses, bacteria, or, indeed, largish worms.
I've resisted blogging most of the "person is a mean bastard and therefore funny" links I find, but I find myself succumbing to Past Due. It makes sense, it's silly yet bitchy, and he's wasting the time of people who work for large corporations of which I do not approve. Okay then!
