Sometime between October 23rd and October 25th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too!
- Poladroid project: the easiest and funniest Polaroid Image Maker: Fun way to turn digital shots into Polaroid style shots, here's two examples I did really quickly.
- Stephen King’s God trip: King has seen more than 50 novels, short story collections and novellas into print, one bestseller after another. His latest collection of stories, "Just After Sunset," arrives in bookstores in November, and in a brief, spooky squib of apocalypse like "Graduation Afternoon" or the Lovecraft-inspired epistolary tale "N.", King reminds us again of his power to unhinge with a single line or image. A master of the storytelling craft, he gets his ghastly fingernails right beneath the skin.
- How to get my nerd vote: I've been thinking lately about a dream candidate for my nerd habits, my nerdy business, and the way I live my nerdy life. Regardless of party affiliation, if you're running for an office from as small as city council all the way up to president, if you hit on any/all of these things, you just might get my vote.
- Wassup 2008: Remember the Budweiser "Waaazzzzuuuuppp?" commercial? This modern-day update/spoof is worth seeing….
- McCain Communications Director Gave Reporters Incendiary Version Of “Carved B” Story Before Facts Were Known: This is problematic because the McCain campaign doesn't want to have been perceived as pushing an incendiary story that not only turned out to be a hoax but which police officials said today risked blowing up into a "national incident" and has local police preparing to file charges against the hoaxster.
- Mega Geology: Giant Crystals Create an Alien Landscape: This photo looks like it could have been taken on another planet – miners harvesting dilithium, perhaps. But this cave full of monstrous crystals is located in Mexico, and the crystals themselves are a form of gypsum, one of the most common elements on Earth. (Seriously, I thought this was photoshopped at first. Awesome picture.)
