Fun Interweb Linkage
- All Streets by Ben Fry – Cool street map of the U.S. I can’t imagine how long this took to put together.
- Cities at Night – Aerial view of various cities aglow at night. I love the blue glow of Japan.
- The Billy Letters – Totally fascinating project by Radar where a man poses as a 10-year old kid and writes letters to politicians and serial killers alike and gets interesting responses.
- CERN’s Large Hadron Collider – A real life time machine. Well, kinda. Technically it’s a particle accelerator. It’s planned to start operating this summer, and no one really knows what’s going to happen. Really interesting stuff. More info here and here.
- That’s what she said – I love Michael Scott.
Cha Cha: Ask Away
So I recently discovered ChaCha, a question and answer service for mobile phone users… so, for everyone basically. Not only is the service accurate, but it is fun to use and remarkably friendly as the answers are delivered in “conversational english”, which essentially means an actual person is answering your question. Just last night I got answers to my questions about NBA trades, Taco Bell commercials, and LOST characters. You have to use it to really understand how great it is. Next time you have a question and you’re not near a computer with internet access, text it to ChaCha (242242), and bask in the brilliance of technology.
PicLens
Anyone out there that does a lot of image browsing online (i.e. Flickr, Google images, etc.) will find the Firefox plugin PicLens… well, pretty much amazing. It’s free to download and a hell of a lot of fun to use.
Adding Emphasis
I'm a full-time Web Designer from Salt Lake City, with a full-time passion for all things artistic. Which is a lot of things. Maybe too many things. I generally spend my time acting like I know what I'm doing. I've fooled some people.
