Stuff on the Internet
One of my daily habits (alright, multiple-times-per-day habits) is to open google reader and scan through the blogs that interest me. Google reader is an incredibly efficient way to browse sites that have a decent signal-to-noise ratio. It means that I don't have to have a list of 100+ bookmarks for all the sites that I like to read. I simply point google reader at it and it keeps track of all the stories. What this lets me do is stay on top of what's going on in fields that interest me the most. Anyway, one thing that I think I might start doing a little more of is posting some links to stuff that I've found that are cool. So here's what I've found this past week or so.
- Two Gentlemen of Lebowski. A screen writer spent three weeks writing the movie The Big Lebowski in the form of a Shakespearean play. Seriously.
- Great Britain under snow. This incredible satellite photo of the Great Britain shows with remarkable clarity what this cold snap we're experiencing in this part of the world is like.
- Alma. This short animated film is very well done. Definitely worth the 5 minutes or so playtime.
- Car chase set to Benny Hill theme music. The music truly makes this, although the footage is kinda amusing too.
- Inspector Gadget music played on bottles. Simply awesome.
All of these were stuff I shared with google reader. You can see these items and more on this shared page: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/heraldk.
