Links past-due:
Blue Note covers (and others) via
Mefi. Rad-lib celeb Jessamyn West's
Naked Librarians page is the most popular thing on her site (my fave: the
booklist) (and here's an essay about
DNC blogger experiences). The most popular thing on this site seems to be the list of dirty Scrabble words.
Here are
core competencies for online reference. Here's a
Condensed Comics Construction Program. Kevin 'Cool Tools' Kelly
reviews review sites and rounds up
documentaries.
Here are some
portrayals of librarians in obituaries, and of
librarian clothing on eBay. Ooh, and the
LibraryLookup bookmarklet maker. Here's that
Flash Scrabble story.
And a couple Banned Books week things:
Librarian.net on Wal-Mart and the Protocols of the Idols of Zion. Here's a
Dealer article about Arming America.
Even more: a history of the
Transformers (and one of Transformer).
Hikarunix, the Go LiveCD.
50 Greatest Shooters. Mefiers
debate Sarah McLacklan's newish video.
Maya Keyes is a lesbian (but, frankly, who the hell cares?)
Nader, 80-pound paper and the Ohio
ballots--Just how much of this story is bullshit? Also, here in Arkansas, local Dems' are working hard to get Nader off the ballot. The
idea seems to be that Reps want fewer people to vote and Dems want more people to, but it's just got to be more complicated than that.
Shelley Jackson's '
Ineradicable Skin' project; would-be-CD-copy-protectors
SunnComm; PBS'
Origins;
Hunt the Boeing redux; Nintendo DS
weirdness; An
exhaustive Star Wars DVD review..
A few K5 items: Duplicitious
political ads, Wikipedia and
neurolinguistic programming and the myth of the '
likely voter.'
Lastly: James Fallows in
The Atlantic on Bush and Gore's debating styles. And, via Mefi, some very good
debate links.
