videos,paranoia
- Here and here - videos from Prof. James Duane and Officer George Bruch about why talking to the police is almost never a good idea.
software
-
omploader - A place to upload files. It can also be done with a firefox extension or in a script.
-
Paperback, from the OllyDbg guy. This lets you store data on paper (about 500 KB for A4 at 600 DPI).
web
-
HTML5 Canvas Experiment - Perhaps good for comparing different Javascript engines. It chokes on Firefox 3.5 on my Atom 330, but works well on 3.6.
-
drop.io - A file sharing site which Wired mentioned because of its ability to set an expiration date on any file you upload. It also appears to have a collection of other, much cooler features for collaboration.
programming,linux
-
Bash cures cancer - Some helpful stuff for commandline Unix/Linux. It seems to have not been updated in about a year though.
-
Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! - My friend Lincoln showed me this. It’s a decent Haskell tutorial with some very oddball illustrations.
-
How to Design Programs - A book, freely available online, which teaches software design using Scheme (or is it DrScheme?)
- How to Design Worlds: Interactive Programming in DrScheme - Another freely available book from the same guys that made HtDP, but this one is about writing interactive applications using pure functional programming.
games
- Kongregate - A large collection of rather addictive online Flash games.
books
-
The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto; the full text is readable for free online. I haven’t read it, I just noted the link, so I can neither agree nor disagree with the contents of it.
-
Wishcraft by Barbara Sher; I came across this motivational book from Havi Brooks. I haven’t read this either, but I should at some point. It’s free as a series of PDFs.
food
- Basic Beef Stew with Carrots and Mushrooms - made this last week and I’m noting it here so I can find it later. No, I don’t use bookmarks.
hippie
- Living on NST - Nomadic Standard Time - Some post from “Tales from Technomadia”.
something
-
Seth Godin’s Blog - I can’t remember why I saved this, but it looks like it’s full of thought-provoking articles.
- The bandwidth-sync correlation… is worth looking at.
