The second part of yesterdays link-o-rama:
- The Scourge Of Arial - The history of Arial, and its borrowing of Helvetica,
- How To Spot Arial - How to tell Helvetica and Arial apart. For obsessives and typographers only,
- 4096 Colour Wheel - A colour wheel that demonstrates the difference between websafe, websmart and pure hex colours. The difference is quite pronounced,
- Gameboy Advance Car Tuner - Turn your Gameboy Advance into a logger for an engine tuner. People go to some stupid lengths to show off,
- MUTE file sharing - A new file sharing program that works anonymously. Although, I very much doubt this will last,
- Link blogs in PHP - Use link blogs provided by del.icio.us in a PHP powered site. I’ll be looking into this,
- Enemy Of Progress - An alternative view of Lord Of The Rings, with a discussion of Romaticism versus progressive society. Kinda turns the world on its head,
- XFN - A way of creating a semantic network of friends using standard HTML mechanisms. Way too much work, I’d rather do this implicitly,
- Illuminopoly - Alternative rules for Monopoly that focus on mind control. Seems quite interesting. I particularly like the various winning conditions,
- Rise Of The Spammers - They’re getting very serious. Spamming is big business these days,
- Plain English Campaign - A guide to using English in a formal, yet accessible way.
And that’s that for a few days. I’ll be back before Christmas.
