Funny story: The blimph
VERY nice and funny story by Scylla. I awoke, the way you awake at 2:00 AM when your sleeping senses suddenly tell you without reason that the forces of evil on converging on you. That still doesn’t do it. Let me try one more time. Teemings – Extras – The Horror of Blimps [Via Doc Searls]

Todd of “What do I know” has released code (FLA) and an SWF with his slide show that he developed for the PGA Championship: Flash slide show source Its a very nice project.

He has also included attributes for toggeling looping and setting image size in the HTML for the swf. (So that people without the Flash suite can use it). All in

Three in one
Cool use of Flash, wicked music and an interesting photo-collage of tired mornings is the CBC RADIO 3 : Snooze button feature in short. Dean Baldwin has wired his digital camera to his alarm clock and recorded his early-morning-face for the rest of us to enjoy. The project was 3 years in the making. Canadian radio station CBS 3 is sure to see me visiting their site again. Their issue included many other interesting projects, and their site is frequently updated with new projects.

Bloglines – very cool blog reader
For those of us that are blessed with always-on-broadband: Bloglines | Free, Web-Based News Aggregator is the bomb. I started using it a couple of days ago.

It allows me to categorise the feeds I have (50 feeds so far), share them among friends and the rest of the Bloglines community. I can search my subscriptions directly in Bloglines or search all feeds that Bloglines indexes. You can also

A McSpoof please
As if it wasn’t obvious what would happen, McDonalds launced their own “Design-your-own-banner” campaign. The results can be viewed on top here. (Curtesy of AdRants) and on MonkeySpan which has lots of links to creative McDonald’s spoofs. I bet some people over at AdBusters must be delighted, although – it might appear that McDonalds should have anticipated it all – especially not with the Bush-Cheney poster “success”
Gadgets galore
Just a quick linkdump. Feel free to suggest good gadget sites I should visit. Gizmodo – probably one of the best known gadget sites around these days. Well worth a visit if you want to stay current on the latest gizmos Engadget – run by the guy that built up Gizmodo to its fame and fortune. Not at all a copy of Gizmodo. I4U – if you read the previous two, some of the news might be old to you when you get to I4U, but its a cool site
Interesting article about Depth of Field in Digital Photography
Coming from analog photography (SLR) I’ve always wondered how it was that all pictures taken with small digital cameras always was in focus. I have to admit I never really thought about it, and basically took it as a fact of life. Getting a digital camera where depth of field suddenly shows itself again made me wonder even more. Luckily Anders (another Norwegian blogger and amateur photographer) posted a link to a blog that contained a few links to articles on the subject. Depth of Field tutorial and explanation –

Windows client for MovableType and more
Ecto is a pretty cool new tool for MovableType, Blogger, Typepad and Windows users (Uses XML-RPC so it should be possible to use it with any blog system utilizing XML-RPC), at the moment it is in pre 1.0 beta, and this is my first post with it. Will probably report more about features and possibilites. The first that caught my eye is the possibility of having the song you are playing at the moment you are posting being listed automatically. Unfortuantly I haven’t been able to download the plug-in for
