2009.01.31 Webby - Ruby on Rails ascii alchemist

A pretty simple little engine. I might just need to give this a whirl on a test domain, since I'm not all that impressed with most other Rails CMS's. This one doesn't claim to be a CMS, but more an ascii alchemy system. #

2009.01.26 YouTube - cookie monster

One of the best musical performances I've seen on Sesame Street. The girl is adorable and interacts with Kermit in a classic way. #

2009.01.26 Welcome to Hogan's Alley!

For over 60 years, cartoonist and illustrator Roy Doty made his own Christmas Card he sent to friends and colleagues. This interview talks about him, them, and shows off some of his work. I think its a great tradition (that of home-made Christmas cards). #

2009.01.26 The CURTA Calculator Page

curta calculator. A fascinating invention that was well before its time. It's awesome to watch one of these things in action. Truly clever. #

2009.01.26 swissmiss: Oliver Jeffers...

I officially have a new favorite kid's book author: Oliver Jeffers. My wonderful office mate Jennifer brought in a stack of his books and they keep me from focusing on work... (Must read. Must flip through pages. Must read again!)... At the library we checked out The Incredible Book Eating Boy and loved it enough to buy it. I'm curious to try the others. #

2009.01.26 Secret Throwing Star Magnets

'Secret Mark' Throwing Star Magnets - I'd love to have some of these, in case you're interested in buying me a random gift. #

2009.01.26 Read This Post. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200

A few facts about some of your favorite (at least, my favorite) games. I love Neatorama's investigatory articles on stuff like this. Mainly just foodforthought, and interesting trivial knowledge. #

2009.01.26 Popular Science - Google Book Search

Although not Saturday Evening Post covers (I loved Norman Rockwell), this set of Popular Science covers is nearly as classic. What a great showcase of art and talent, representing a vital part of our history. #

2009.01.26 PEBKAC

Definition of PEBKAC.... I've been using this acronym ever since swissmiss originally posted this. It's perfect. #

2009.01.26 Mashup DJ Girl Talk Deconstructs Feed the Animals

I loved Girl Talk's Feed the Animals album, and am constantly fascinated by all the compilations of data and tributes to/about it. #
