Link Round-Up: A/V Fun
Fun for the whole fam damily:
- Hold your phone up to your radio and identify the current song (thanks, Tod).
- A project to produce a virtual copy of a closed Disneyland ride. Those Disneyphiles are freakin’ obsessive. Still, it’s an interesting solution to preserving moderately-important buildings that can’t be physically retained (thanks, BoingBoing).
- A solar-powered charger for your iPod. I’m deeply skeptical, as I tried this solar-powered battery charger and was tres disappointed with the results. Maybe I need to live in sunnier climes.
- While searching for my battery charger, I happened upon the frighteningly-named WomenWhoHunt.com. In addition to all the products you’d expect, they have quite an array of hunt-themed lingerie. You never know when you’re going to be tracking feral big-horned sheep in your camouflaged baby doll teddy. Note also the camo apron and over mitts. For the stealth baking, presumably.
- The Found Photos group at Flickr (this one is great) reminds me of the excellent Found Magazine (the Find of the Week section rocks). I see there’s now a spin off (presumably unsafe for work) called DirtyFound.
- The always fascinating Roland Piquepaille writes about counting elephants from space.
- UPDATE: Lots of folks are referencing this, but I wanted to point to this decent interview (oddly) with an interviewer who spoke to the famous reclusive Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki is the Spielberg of Japanese animation. I’ve only seen a couple of his films, but they’re remarkable. Go rent Spirited Away and get your head bent.
