Friday Lynx - 2009.12.18

It's been a while since my last lynx post (or any post, for that matter), so I have several:

• First, a not-quite-new, but still kick-donkey technology I would love to see more of.
  
• One of the Mere Comments contributors linked to this in response to a particularly banal bit of political idiocy. I plan to pull this out and use it whenever appropriate.
  
• I have never made it more than 30 minutes through Napoleon Dynamite, but here is some interesting footage about real-life ligers. That is a really big cat. One of the cool things in this clip is that the zoologist explains why ligers are so big.
  
• Finally, to wrap things up on a narcissistic note, I'm finally on Twitter. I make no warranties as to how often or for how long I will be posting on Twitter, but there you go. Follow at your own risk.

• Rhett and Link have released their latest 'local commercial'. Watch it if you're not easily offended.
  
• If you've never seen The Guild, and you want to increase your Geek Quotient, I recommend checking it out. In the mean time, here's a song, based on the show entitled Do You Want to Date My Avatar.
  
• I got my Google Wave invitation this weekend and I've been checking it out. I have a very few invitations for people, so if you want one leave me a comment explaining why there are six 'Original' Star Trek movies, 5 'Next Generation' star trek movies, and 0 DS9 star trek movies. I mean, come on. What are they going to do, ruin the series more than the combined forces of ST:TMP and STV:TFF?

Not much happening on the internet this week (hah!), so just a couple:

• First, and most important: If you haven't heard about the Manhattan Declaration, you really ought to go check it out and seriously consider signing it.
  
• Secondly, something for my in-laws, you know, the gun-crazy ones:
  

Sorry, no YouTube video this week. More internanity next week. Enjoy your weekend!

Late Lynx, 2009-11-12

I was going to post these last night, but forgot, so instead of Friday night links, you get Sunday morning links.

• I found this while looking up information on handstands. Looks like Damien Walters is another one of those urban ninjas.
  
• This was linked to from Ffffound. Don't get it? You obviously never played enough of this as a child.
  
• It looks like someone has finally found a proper use for one of Apple's mice.
  

Lynx!

• I love animated images like these, and the way they bring 'depth' to photographs. Rating: 2 sneezes
  
• In response to this video (posted on SexyMama's blog), a co-worker showed me this. Rating: 2 sneezes.
  
• Here is one of those random phenomena which can really only exist on the internet. Apparently this book was written with the spelling and grammar of a 3rd-grader. My favorite review is the 2-star review by 'NAS'. Take the time to read through the comments. You'll enjoy it. Rating: 3 cheezes.
  
• Also, while we're on the topic of bad products on Amazon, here is a similarly amazing product. Buy one today! Rating: 3 cheezes.
