Random Linkage

July 28th, 2009

Awful Library Books – strange and outdated books.

What kind of burgers?! – I knew McDonald’s food is pretty bad but…

Rubik’s Cubewich – It doesn’t look very appetizing to me but it was a clever idea.

Top 15 Nasa Inventions – (via The Daily Grail)

20 Fascinating Ancient Maps – I guess the definition of “ancient” is fairly flexible. It includes maps as old as the 1500′s and as recent as 1918. But they are very interesting. (via Dark Roasted Blend)

Walled cities – interesting collection of photos

WD-40 Facts and Folklore – amazing stuff. (via Pat)

The User Manual Site – This looks like it might be very useful. You can store manuals in your own virtual filing cabinet. I haven’t looked yet to see how many manuals they actually have. (via ITLnet Blog)

How to make a shrunken head – I’m not sure that I want to know.

The Beatles in lace

…and a few more blogs:

Frankensteinia

Postcards From Wildwood – Nice. Lots of photos.

The Secret Life of an Unknown Housewife

Rocketpunk Manifesto – Cool and very interesting.

Garden Delights – a wonderful photoblog; not only gardens

Female Misogynist – Strange. Sometimes I simply can’t resist the temptation to take a peek inside an alien mind.

Fernando Vicente – Art

Driller’s Place – as in Tulsa Drillers but this guy lives in Arkansas now.

Dave’s Mechanical Pencils

    That awful-books blog is funny, but I will admit to having checked that pantyhose crafts book out of my local library. And my mother owns a copy of that Patchwork book (on the second page) with the awful, lurid cover….
