Shoot the head, kill the ghoul! Guy in the next cubicle looking a little more pale and slack-jawed than usual? Maybe you should check out some Some Zombie Survival Guides. Important things you need to know, like: Zombies have limited offensive capability: Mainly they bite, like a lil' sissy boy. That's a close range weapon with a range of about three inches square. Don't let them get that close. Refuse slow dances. Don't be taken in by the old 'gee your hair smells terrific' routine. You'll be fine. Of course, maybe you'll want to run some simulations to know what you're up against.
Curious George: Perspectiveless Snapshots If you tilt a camera upwards or downwards, the resulting photograph can take on "lines of perspective". There are plug-ins for Photoshop that warp a digital photograph to make everything again "isometric", I think is the term. Is there a technique or trick with old SLR cameras to remove this warped perspective before the picture is taken, or are special lenses used?
The Historic Tale Construction Kit - Make your own Bayeux Tapestry-type story with this flash applet thingy. Or read the ones already submitted to the gallery. Few of which are any good, so Monkeys can liven it up a little. I stole from some crappy site.

Victor Yushchenko was NOT poisoned - he's an alcoholic. In an earlier MoFi post we discussed the claim by the Vienna clinic that Yuschenko was 'definitely poisoned'. Facts: There has never been a case of death from dioxin poisoning, ever. Dioxin is not water soluble, & would be readily observable by sight & smell. Yuschenko wants to delay the investigation in case it 'affects the election' - it already has affected the election! The Austrian clinic's 'definitive' conclusion of poisoning was released by the administrative head of the clinic, not the actual chief medical officer - who was forced to resign due to his criticism of the 'poisoning' idea. Fat soluble dioxin would be absorbed by many of the organs, including liver - yet Yuschenko's dioxin levels have apparently "returned to normal" & there are no traces of it in his liver or pancreas. This is totally impossible. More reasons in the linked articles within. more inside

A writer looks at Hong Kong Hong Kong's blogging community is fractious. On the one hand you have locals who rarely have a blog presence, but when they do, their writing is explosive, enchanting, and wonderful to read. And then you have the expatriates. Often, they are very one dimensional people. But this blog seems to avoid that one-dimensional problem. The author showcases writing from locals, and also shines a light on the increasingly important life of Hong Kong's 6.8 million.
Be an anti-consumism rebel, just like everyone else: an interesting take on the culture of anti-consumerism. The author states that anti-consumerism is not a critique of consumerism, but rather a critique of mass society-- a critique which has in fact "been one of the most powerful forces driving consumerism for more than 40 years." Buy the book and bask in the irony.
