Month: December 2011

Happy almost New Year everybody!

And welcome to your Friday Links.

» bookdedications

“Or, put simply, a load of dedications I’ve found written inside second-hand books.”
The blogger, Wayne Gooderham, wrote a pretty interesting article for the Guardian about it too. Great stuff.

» Barbie Trashes Her Dream House

Artist Carrie M. Becker transforms a Barbie-sized environment into… well… a mess. 🙂 All done miniature-size. Actually very impressive, and disturbing.

An ingenious little website.
It’s actually recommended some interesting places to me. Well done.

» Cuboy Hot Pants

AKA: Qbert, only with fire chasing you.

Load the site. It randomly selects a gif of a cat and an audio clip. Randomly. That is all.

[played all at the same time.]
It starts off simply enough and then devolves into complete insanity. What an odd little project.
Also: some of the comments during play are really funny.
Any bets on how long it stays up?

Happy Holidays everybody, and thanks for being a Friday Links subscriber.
