Same old same old linkage:
I have never: been described as a "coolhunter". (Until now baby! Scroll to the very bottom to see this flattering acknowlegement from some crazy dutch street meme artists.)
More porno for forest robot fans (SFW) Am I the only one? They have a simulator that is just begging for an arcade conversion.
The million dollar comic collection.
Gmail stores more than a gig, why am I not surprised?
NY Times catch on to the new wave of sneaker hype. And yet another sneaker news blog in the form of Lace Mag.
American Segue combines the plot of The Straight Story with the positive attitude of Golf Mongolia, on a frigging Segway. At 10mph I'd like to follow this guy continuously kicking his ass.
Toby Litt is easily in my 10 least favourite authors, though not quite challenging Paul Auster yet. However through his actual fans he has discovered the secret of the cool gel glue that sticks free CDs to the front of glossy magazines, and a bunch of other trivial fascinations. Perhaps a re-estimation of his ouevre is in order.
Best skateboarding developments? Cartoon guide to ice boarding and Hardwicke directing Lords of Dogtown not Fincher. And worst (by which I mean Durst) The Big Ollie Airband, an elastic band to fasten you to your deck, and X-Games Big Air Skateboarding, why must they meddle?
Can sharks detect 1 part blood in 1 million parts water? That only equates to 1cm cubed blood in a metre cubed water, which seems all too plausible. I think I could detect 1 part Fernet Branca in 1 million parts water. Sharks certainly seem to be able to team up in an interspecies surfer eating contest.
Finally aplatventre, the adventures of two "jokeurs francais" called Steinkat and Franck Sinatra, who photograph themselves lying hilariously prone all across Paris.
