Not as cute as Nathalia Ponomareva’s origami tea bags though just as ingenious. Plus this has the advantage of looking slightly evil and letting you use loose-leaf tea.

This papercraft head from Eric Testroete for Halloween is Goldeneye’s bighead mode IRL. Incredible.

I’ve held off upgrading my iPhone OS to 3.1 so I can hold onto my precious tethering. Canabalt nearly-but-not-quote convinced me to update, I think the newly release app from The Classics Present, Le Petit Dummy, might force my hand. Endless possibilities for hilarity.

Tweet Canonical

Further to my last post, Lachlan Hardy has gone one step better and written a bookmarklet that will find the RevCanonical link (if it exists) for the page you’re looking at:

I wrote a bookmarklet to scratch an itch. It parses the current page in your browser for a RevCanonical link and sends that to Twitter as the base of a tweet. I mostly plan to use it to tweet about Flickr photos but you can use it on any page that has a RevCanonical link.

You can install it by dragging this link to your bookmark toolbar: Tweet Canonical.

Works a treat and not only for Flic.kr photo pages.

flic.kr Bookmarklet

I’ve been wondering how to get to the short URL for my Flickr photos and stumbled across this JavaScript snippet this morning that does the job rather nicely. Drag this to your Bookmarks Bar and select it on a Flickr photo page to see the short URL.

For some reason the bookmarklet link doesn’t show up in the Tumblr Dashboard, you’ll have to view the post in normal context to get it.

But really, Devine’s column isn’t there to express a view shared by real people, but rather to disagree with a particular group… Along with the expressions of anger come links to the online version of the column, where metrics are collected and advertising hosted. In a fragmented media marketplace augmented by real-time social media, networked irritation drives traffic. Devine’s columns look more and more like linkbaiting, pure and simple.

From Lauren McCarthy comes functional fashion in the form of the Happiness Hat 2009:

A wearable conditioning device that detects if you’re smiling and provides pain feedback if you’re not. Frowning creates intense pain but a full smile leaves you pain free! The first in a series of Tools for Improved Social Inter-Acting.
