Pinboard

Nifty little animation in a bookstore. I like the Space Invaders bit.

It would be funnier if it weren't so close to reality.

Some silly ones, but mostly obvious predictions.

A decent timeline, but as with most infographics, confusing in some choices (in particular, companion colors).

An interesting historical comment on Santorum's literally medieval stance on contraception.

Great investigative report on the practical and ethical implications of robotic war. A few of the interviewed roboticists exhibit the height of hubris when they think they can engineer superior morality into a combat robot. Also, a subtle touch at the end: the al Jazeera logo animates into position with servo noises.

More a critique of Romney in places, but telling that the Globe only considers those two viable candidates.

Another classic, from the days before Delicious and Pinboard, which Drewx0r reminded me of.

Forgot to pin this one when I first saw it.

Dubstep remix of Bach's classic organ piece. Bach would not approve, but you will. I'm proud to say I ruined his piece. More stuff here: http://soundcloud.com/iambaney https://tonybony.bandcamp.com/

Great look at the man and the character(s).

Drill, baby, drill.

Not far off, but more about the visual style.

Appointing Richard Cordray is the ultimate no-brainer.

Pretty cool.

I cannot express how badly I want a Macintosh neutron gun backpack.

I was wondering how this was legal/acceptable, until I found out it was just a Delta ad. They probably also told the bag handlers to keep the bag exposed for better angles. Reminiscent of the climax of Toy Story 2.

I always loved the snowmen vignettes from C&H, although not as much as the dinosaurs or Spaceman Spiff.

Not much I didn't already know, but a reminder that many of our traditions are the direct result of being a cosmopolitan immigrant nation.

I am shocked that Big Content would massage their sales numbers to make themselves look better.

The alignment makes this my favorite post yet.

An old DF, from before I started reading it, but spot-on to how Apple works and why RIM turned out to be doomed.

Famous pictures from 2011 news stories in Lego form.

Interesting take on it. I liked the Star Wars snark. A reminder to check my moles, I suppose.

Heaven forfend a Democrat appear "weak on terror". So disappointing.

Great video essay on how Spielberg's use of reaction shots telegraphs to the audience how to feel.

Pretty elegant hack, if true. Like something out of "Tomorrow Never Dies".

Some of the things he says in this early '80s video (the NTSC transfer quality is not great) apply to what Apple is doing right now (although there was obviously a time of darkness). I like his foreshadowing of the Mac GUI, that they could "waste" chip horsepower on improving the interface.

Best rap about HTML I've ever seen.
