Link Spammage

It’s been far too long since I’ve subjected you all to a healthy serving of link spam. Here, suck this up:

@bunnycronkite – For reasons that are yet to be adequately explained, I made Bunny Walter Cronkite his own Twitter account yesterday.

Two Hands Project – Using JetBlue’s unlimited US flight plan, these guys have spent 8 Sep – 8 Oct filming a documentary about Maker/Hackerspaces in the USA. (One of them is also noteworthy for having crowd-sourced his hair!)

The League of Moveable Type: An open-source type movement, featuring beautiful, free fonts.

The New Rules of News – An inspiring article from the Comment Is Free section of The Guardian, talking about media, ethics and contemporary journalism. After reading this, I happened to see a copy of The West Australian around, and cried a little on the inside.

Gorillamobile – The people who brought you the brilliant Gorillapod now have a device that fits the iPhone. iPhone + my bike = living the dream, albeit for a fairly substantial price.

Dots gloves: Speaking of irresponsible iPhone use while cycling, these Dots make gloves with little finger pads that allow you to use the iPhone’s touchscreen while wearing them. Brilliant.  (So brilliant in fact, that it looks like you need to back-order or wait for new stock to arrive.)

Giant balloon sculptures – Apologies for linking to The Daily Mail, but come on, you know how I feel about installation art, deep sea freaks and big things.

Antelope Canyon – Beautiful photographs from a geological wonder of the world.

Google Wave – Invites went out on 30 September and I still don’t have one.  Bring your A-game to this, people – Wave-i-fy me!

Flying Empire

Helen is interested in an unreasonable number of things, including the wide and wonderful universe, happiness, well-being, wine, optimal human experience, non-violent communication, complex systems, technology, grassroots organising, cacophony, music, creativity, learning, love.

She is a cat-loving, game-playing, TV-quoting, financial-modelling, art-making, bird-watching, garden-tending, war-protesting, tech-obsessing, film-geeking, music-listening, bike-riding, book-reading creature and many more creatures besides.

She might well be the most Web 2.0 person you know.
