This is a shorter bit of writing tonight, but actually still quite productive. I tend to e-mail myself lots of links and things, that inevitably pile up and I never look at. So I’ve been making more of an effort to go through those as well. I cleared out quite a bit tonight, some were work-related, others were notes for myself (many are also copies of all the e-mails I produce for work), but I found two things to share today.
And second, since I’m going to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame this weekend in York, here is a metal cover of “Hellfire.” It’s already one of the darkest (if not the darkest) Disney animated movie, thanks to this song, but this is a neat take on it:
Quick update for everyone, let’s see what we have today.
First up, this book should never be made into a movie (I also honestly don’t think it could be), but here’s an awesome opening credits sequence for House of Leaves:
Well this isn’t good. Apparently artificial butter flavoring may also cause Alzheimer’s (as well as various types of cancer)
If this comes to Pittsburgh, I’ll totally do this with a team: The Dare Theory.
Here’s a good run-down of all the Instagram filters, for your easy reference.
Awesome video of Pittsburgh:
Here’s an awesome interview with Wigle Whiskey. One of these days I’ll try it out, although I know nothing about whiskey.
My theory is that those of us that didn’t grow out of games are the people that didn’t lose that spark of imagination. We’re wowed by deep space and ocean depths andunexplored caves. We want to believe that the real world still has some magic.
I forgot to mention that we just passed the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda! IGN has a cool feature up about it, so I guess I’ll have to go and finish Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks!
Hello there everybody, another clearinghouse type article here for you, so enjoy the wonderousness that the Internet has to offer:
This apartment must have been so, freaking expensive:

Craigmod takes a look at the current state of eReaders and how we need to move forward. I really like the idea of collaboration between eReader and their documents.
This was passed around before, and I can’t embed it, but check out how these athletes entertained the crowd during a rain delay at a baseball game.
Looking for Halloween costumes? Or just a little something for your alter ego? Look no further than the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.
Would you like to see stories from The Bible acted out by Legos? Really, who wouldn’t? Check it out here.
T-shirt war:
I kind of love this Lost alarm clock! However, I think it would get really annoying every morning. Also, it only takes batteries, no plug, which is just strange.
Scientists can use giant magnets to make humans ‘less moral.’ So if someone comes up to you and asks for a shady favor, while holding giant magnets near your ears, just say no!
This is a little sad and a little frightening. Watch out Stephen Colbert:
IGN has an awesome article refuting the claim that video games can’t be art. I generally like Ebert and love reading his writing, but this is one thing he’s wrong about. Make sure to check it out.
