Midomi is a really cool site that lets you hum or whistle the melodies of songs you’ve forgotten and it will try to provide a match. I was able to get it to recognize a Beatles song and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” but had less success with a couple other (slightly) lesser-known songs. But […]

Friday Fun Link – Ranking The King
Vulture magazine ranks the best Stephen King works from 62 to 1. I’ve read a lot of Stephen King but not much of the recent stuff. But King will always have a soft spot in my heart because of how many of my non-reader friends would still devour everything he wrote. My only quibble […]
Friday Fun Link – Rdio
Like I suspect is the case for a lot of people who came of age in the 1980’s, I would spend hours making mix tapes when I was young – tapes featuring different artists, different themes, different moods.

Stephen Wolfram is a famous computer scientist/physicist (though not everyone is a fan) who is behind the Wolfram Alpha search engine. He recently released some analysis of data he’s been collecting about his personal computing and productivity habits since the early 1990’s. Although MetaFilter has its usual snark in talking about this release (“All that data […]
Friday Fun Link – “God Bless America” Trailer
My prediction? This new movie from comedian Bobcat Goldthwait won’t cause any controversy at all. 😉
Friday Fun Link – #TellVicEverything
I’ve mentioned in the past that the popular quote that the Internet interprets censorship as damage to be routed around. I think there’s a related rule that the Internet even responds to attempts to control/restrict access in a similar fashion. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews found this out the hard way this week after introducing […]
Friday Fun Link – Arkitypo: The Final Alphabet
If I understand this correctly, a design firm set out to make 3-D models of various typefaces, one for every letter of the alphabet, using all of the letters contained within that typeface. Or something like that. Oooh, look – pretty!!! (via MetaFilter)
