Awake

This Week's Distractions...Err, I mean, Awesome Fun Links!!!

Selected links, articles, and tidbits from my Bloglines clippings and my del.icio.us postings...(and did I mention hours of good clean entertaining fun?!)

For Ranting:

• I've enjoyed reading Naomi Klein's books in the past (No Logo, Fences and Windows). She writes occasionally for the Guardian; here's her latest comment: The US has used torture for decades. All that's new is the openness about it
• WorldChanging: Update: Inuit Defend Their Right To Be Cold | Emily Gertz

For Entertaining:

• Wicked Awesome Christmas Lights Video
• Asian Backstreet Boys Lip Sync Videos: I want it that way (but wait there's more!)
• Orsinal: Morning Sunshine - Games—Cute games with great music done in Flash. My niece loves these...even though she can't really play them.
• And yes, ladies and gentlemen, let us not forget the annually recommended Toboggan Jump! Game!!! Will YOU get burned by the ring of fire??! Hours of late-night entertainment await.
• Superman Returns Trailer
• Cute Overload! — the cutest pictures you'll ever see...EVAR! (And if you see cuter ones, then submit them to their site!)

For Learning...

• Ruby on Rails 1.0
• How to Install Apple's Front Row
• Creating a Tag Cloud in Movable Type (PHP) (What's a tag cloud?)
• The StitchGuide (Yep, I'm crocheting A LOT...must. learn. more. stiches!
• Make a cool spiky star ornament (scanned from a 1958 Better Homes & Gardens article!)

That's more than enough for now. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my little distraction-waiting-to-happen, also known as, "my brain."
