jinianA link roundup of amazing and wonderful things I've seen on the web recently has got to begin with Sex Is Not the Enemy, which shows obviously often pornographic, often utterly adorable sex-positive photos and quotes. I am not remotely done looking at all the pages, but I imagine I will get through them eventually; I may save some for when I want something tremendously cheering, though.
Corpus Libris, an entire blog of people (and a store cat) holding up books that mimic their body parts with varying degrees of accuracy to often-creepy effect.
Two things I never thought to see combined: merkins and breakdancing. Amanda Palmer's "Map of Tasmania" video.
My new favorite "Hark! A Vagrant" strip: Queen Bess at Tilbury.
Stefanie Posavec's graphical representations of books are simply fascinating. I can't explain her slight fixation on Kerouac, but I love looking at the First Chapters comparisons and considering how they represent narrative rhythms. And which end do you start at? (I am convinced that Gatsby must start with descriptions and end up in dialogue, but I haven't verified that at all.)
Was I the only one who hadn't seen the German "life's too short for the wrong job" ad campaign? Brilliant.
And a game to keep you busy until the next link roundup appears on your reading list: Refraction lets you save friendly little animals trapped in space by powering their ships with bounced laser input, while slowly training you to split and combine beams, even when you have to adjust their denominators to be the same... Nice pun, CS guys.
