I was going to get super-up-to-date online while convalescing at the farm after my wisdom teeth removal, but of course, that didn’t happen. Never mind, here’s what’s been keeping me entertained while I’ve been healing.
Books
- Infographic: Is Print Dead?
- The Chart of Fantasy Art, 2009 – I love that this exists. Kudos to the intern who looked through every fantasy cover published in the USA in 2009! Via BB.
- Even Monsters Need Haircuts – A cute picture book which made me think of Playbox. Via BB.
- Books Have Many Futures : NPR It’s a BOOK. Via RS.
- The Highest-Paid Authors See who’s making the big bucks.
- Book Art on style/SWOON – these are beautiful!
- Ebooks in a Correctional Setting – A Niche Market – Why EBooks would be better for prisons than regular print books. Via RS.
Internetty/Techy
- How I’d Hack Your Weak Passwords Because we really should be cautious with passwords.
- The Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990s Get your 90’s on! Via BB.
- Best Blogs of 2010 – TIME – via NetGuide magazine.
- Forget Hall Monitors – School Investigates Tracking Students Using RFID
Resources/Databases
- BBC – Dimensions – What a brilliant resource! Great for students. I like putting the Colossus at Rhodes in Cathedral Square. Via RS.
- LRIS Portal – Environment and Land Data from Landcare Research. For sciencey folk needing NZ info. Via RS.
Fun or Funny
- Color Pencils Reviewed. It’s fun seeing an analogue device reviewed as if it’s digital. Or maybe that’s just me. Via NetGuide magazine.
- Flickr Memory Game (make your own) I was playing this with the CCL feed. Black and white pictures make it an extra challenge!
- See You… In 20 Years! Make your face look old for free. I’m too scared to play. Via NetGuide.
- Ducks wearing dog masks– I can’t believe I never noticed before! Ducks just want to be dogs.
I’ve tried to remember where I sourced this info for you (in the little via:xx) but I didn’t record my path every time. Sometimes it was also straight from my RSS feed, so there was no need. I’ll try to get more diligent with my resources!
See you tomorrow!
