far too many decibels coming from the party upstairs
1 fantastic holiday
More soon along these lines.
Links & notes for this month
Marco from BB5 is Digital Spy's Big Brother columnist. This, his first column, is surprisingly insightful... enough so to make me keep reading. Whether I keep watching the show is another matter. It is still curiously compulsive, I will own... |
A Gamer's Manifesto. Entertaining, at times a little OTT and a bit too optimistic, but there some salient points nontheless. Plus: it made me laugh. |
I love both of them dearly, I really do, but I also love comics, and so The Amazing Adventures of Lethem & Clay is, all in all, a very beautiful thing. Curse you, Candace Bushnell. |
BBC Backstage launches. Lots of RSS feeds (and APIs in the near future) to play with - and, with a few caveats, you're free to do what you want with all that lovely data. I've written a bit more about the scheme over at the other weblog I contribute to. Suffice to say, Ben Hammersley is right - this is seriously exciting stuff. The BBC are on the Cluetrain. Who's next? |
Comprehensive archive (with scans) of 50s and prior romance comics. It's a genre you may not be very familiar with, but tons were churned out in this era; in some ways, the ads in each issue are even more interesting (from a cultural-history standpoint) than the comics themselves. Warning: they have severely dated. Just in case you hadn't guessed. |
37Signals latest webapp, Backpack launches today. 10am CST, which will be some time this afternoon. If it's anything like as good as Basecamp or Ta-da lists, it should be something special. Keep your eyes peeled, folks. |
