Link Round-Up: November 20, 2008

20 Nov 2008  Links

Abandoned but not Forgotten – A great site for photo galleries and tales of urban exploring. Among the most recent editions to the collection is this pants-soiling tour of the Linda Vista Hospital… where I wouldn’t go after dark even for a stack of cash.

After Mac – Juan over at After Mac points the way to a high-res x-ray image of an Aluminum MacBook that would look pretty sweet as a desktop.

E = MC2 – It took 103 years, but Einstein’s formula, first proposed in the paper “Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy-content?”, has finally been corroborated.

Let me Google that for You – Could this be my new favorite web service? The survey says yes! Just type is an appropriately sardonic query and this page will return a link to an animation demonstrating just how to use Google. It’s a great visual aid when you get an itch to answer those idiotic forum questions.

The Plan – The New York publishes Jack Handey’s plan for a really great bank heist. Unfortunately, the plan isn’t foolproof. For it to work, certain things must happen…

Poladroid – A free app for Macs that lets you drag an image onto the Polaroid camera at the corner of your screen, then spits out an image that develops as you watch. Very Retro-chic.

Twiter Micro Round-Up:

    30 Twitter Apps We Actually Use and 140 After That
    Custom Twitter backgrounds, only $100 unless you’re popular
    Has Twitter Become the Kleenex of Microblogging?
    How Much Would You Pay For Twitter?
    HOW NOT TO: Build Your Twitter Community
    What Twitter Needs To Go Mainstream

WordPress 2.7 – Technosailer takes a look at ten things you need to know about this blog platform’s next incarnation, because (yet again) the admin interface has undergone dramatic alterations. Well complimented by these screenshots.

Zenbe – A new startup that brings social and collaborative features to your e-mail accounts, such as calendars, forum threads, Twitter feeds, and wiki features. I’m already using it, and it’s indispensable for group projects.
