Friday linkdump

[yendi]

Yesterday and today have both been long days. You know George Carlin's routine about how the first fifteen minutes in the office are "me time?" No such option for me.

Anyway, links have been piling up:

1. Amazon's VideoGame Deal of the Day is Spider-Man 3 for the PS2 for $16.99 (43% off). It gets mixed reviews, but it does seem to offer more of the same that the first two games had (and half the fun is just swinging around NYC anyway).

2. Man lives after chair leg impales his eye socket. Warning -- the x-ray image there might squick some folks.

3. Eureka has been renewed for season 3!

4. Yet another free subscription to Spin Magazine.

5. Huge CSI spoiler. Don't read this unless A) you've seen the season premiere, and B) you don't mind knowing some details about changes that'll hit the show in November.

6. Yes, monks use email.

7. Because you demanded it: a new medical film from the yutz who gave us Patch Adams.

8. Yet another reason to love XKCD.

9. The latest version of MS Excel does the maths real good-like.

10. Finally, this week's Friday Cephalopod over at Pharyngula (one of about ten sites that I can't imagine not seeing in my RSS reader) is possibly the niftiest one ever.

I have one more link for you: Bacon Salt (http://www.baconsalt.com/). Apparently, to good reviews, it makes everything taste like bacon.

I am fiendishly curious....

[yendi]

Ha! I think you're the fourth or fifth person to comment in my LJ with that link. :-) I'm intrigued, but I adore bacon for its texture as well as the flavor, so I'm not sure how much I'd like the salt.

That said, I'd love to try it on popcorn.

Bacon & Maple Ice Cream (http://www.laist.com/2007/05/01/bacon_maple_the_future_of_ice_cream.php)

Oh, man. I need to try that. It would go great with the bacon and maple donut in Seattle that Bourdain had on his show.

Oh DEAR GODS NO!!!!! (Is that demanding enough?)

"Dr. Sensitive" for Shady Acres
Is that like Colonel Angus from Shady Thicket? Probably not.

Heh.

7. Link is prompting for username and password

[yendi]

Weird. I got it off a public link, and it still works for me. Hunh.

Try this one.

Best. XKCD. Ever.

i take it you recommend Eureka: I'm looking for more TV series to pick up. (I'm in the slow-hurdle cohort for TV: I wait for NetFlix; it's the TV equivalent of waiting-for-the-trade).

Can you say what you like about Eureka? (Have you already posted about it and I missed it?) I think the premise is pretty neat.

Eureka is partly filmed in and around my hometown! ...Aaand I have yet to see a full episode.

'Man lives after chair leg impales his eye socket.'

I will remember this whenever a horror or action movie tries to tell me that someone dies instantly from that sort of thing.
