Friday Fun Link – The Longest Poem in the World (October 30, 2009)

LongestPoemInTheWorld.com takes updates from Twitter's public feed to create a never-ending stream of rhyming couplets – strangely engrossing. 

Friday Fun Link – MailFreezr (Oct 23, 2009)

MailFreezr is a service which allows you to send an e-mail message to anyone anytime between 1-100 years from now (er, assuming the site's around then – which, even for it to be there in a year, I'd say the odds aren't that great!  Plus who knows what technology will do in the next 5, […]

Friday Fun Link – Funny Facebook Threads (Sept 11, 2009)

[2009-09-17 – Edit: “b” and “c” aren't that close on the keyboard so I wonder what sort of a Freudian slip it was to type “Facecook” in the subject line of this post originally?] A minor trend I've noticed lately is people posting screen caps of funny Facebook threads they come across…“Michael Jackson is dead?““OMG!  […]

Friday Late Link – What The Internet Knows About You (September 4, 2009)

*I'm backdating a few posts to keep up the illusion that I never leave the front of my computer for such things as camping and otherwise spending quality time with my family.*WhatTheInternetKnowsAboutYou.com uses an unintentional security hole that exists in most browsers – the ability to see which links you've clicked in the past to […]
