Your Friday Linkopolis for December 21st, 2007 (And some commentary)
Posted by Jeremy on December 21st, 2007
Well well it’s Friday, December 21st 2007 and here’s a few of the things I’ve run into this week.
Geek Chic - Indeed, it’s a Space Invaders themed scarf complete with QR codes. What’s a QR code? Look it up1.
The Most Expensive Drink At Starbucks - Spoiler: It’s a 13 shot venti soy hazelnut vanilla cinnamon white mocha with extra white mocha and caramel. It cost the writer $13.76. Those are the stupid/silly blog posts that I love.2
Got iTunes? Get Addons - Lifehacker lists the 23 best addons for iTunes - from cover art, to keeping synced, to tagging songs.
DIY Fisheye lens - Have a spare shiny Christmas ornament around? Use it as a fish eye lens to take some 360 degree shots
Paper Toys - CustomPaperToys.com makes, well, custom paper toys - they offer them up for sale as kits, and look quite stunning considering they can’t get wet.3
Rock Star Prof - At 71, MIT physics professor Walter Lewin is an internet sensation, thanks to the school’s OpenCourseWare.
Clocks - Pricey, but this clock is just so cute and retro.
That’s the links for today - and the commentary is really more like a question - should I begin video blogging? I’m thinking about it - once a week. I took a little phone video awhile back and it sparked my interest. Hrm.
Footnotes listed in the above post:- Or make your own [↩]
- Which is why Cockeyed.Com is so sweet - thanks for existing, Rob [↩]
- Oh, you can also buy a kit to create an AK-47 out of paper. Seriously. [↩]

I love taking pictures using different things as a lense or reflector, but I try and stay out of the shot.

Damn dude, you change your hobbies as often as most people change their underwear.
I wonder how much of this is all bullshit, which is what you were always the king of.

Yeah JACC, I haven’t really played much with it yet. I was deep into photography, now it’s more of a semi-hobby. Pain in the ass expensive hobby though hehe.
Oh, and hi there Randal - how’s Colorado treating you? Been what, 7 years now?
