Link Dump, Part II

Part II of the Giant Link Dump. These links are all over the place. Tomorrow will be a little more focused on web stuff.

• Video Poker Strategy Master is a neat app. You tell it what variant of video poker you’re playing, what the pay scale is, and it tells you the strategy. I should have had this at Harrahs last week. (via)
• Want to glue all your various apps together? Then Quicksilver is your answer. Merlin Mann talks about using Quicksilver to massage your workflow in a powerful way. Here he points us to a quick video on gluing Backpack and Quicksilver together. Nice.
• A series of songs from 1900-1930, are available for download. Now you can listen to your Great-Grandmothers music. (via)
• Want to build a trebuchet? I know I do. Want to build it desktop sized? We now have plans. (via)
• Amazing Furniture with some serious personality. I love so much of this stuff. I can picture a whole kids room done up with their furniture. (via)
• Now I want to build my own bike. (via)
• The name is horrific, but I really want a placentero chair. Brilliant design. (via)
• Ooooohhh. Propaganda, otherwise known as The Art of War. I love me some propaganda. (via)
• A champion for good writing. I can’t write my way out of a wet paper bag, but I know it’s important. This site tells why. (via)
• File this one under WTF. Yes, that’s Celine Dion. Yes, she’s impersonating Michael Jackson. (via)
• I love a good porch. Now learn about the history and evolution of the Front Porch. (via)
• The Easter Eggs of Star Wars III. The best Star Wars easter egg is still the .44 Magnum sound from Dirty Harry mixed into the sound of Princess Leia’s blaster. (via)
• Old African Photos. (via)
• JavaScript Event Compatability Tables.
• On how to get those space photos so gorgeous. Answer: Use Photoshop. (via)
• Want to customize Moveable Type’s interface? Now you can. (via)
• And speaking of Moveable Type, here is a handy cheatsheet. (via)
• You know about Google Sitemaps, right? Now here is the Moveable Type template for Google Sitemaps. (via)
• How to lay out a PHP application. Seems like pretty decent guidelines.
• How to lose friends via email. Hell, I don’t need email to alienate people. (via)
• Worst.WebApp.Evar. (via)

I have to let people know about The Bin, it is an archive of the worst examples of almost everything. It has other pages as well, my favourite is the (small) mp3 section where you can listen to the worst music ever played.

Hope you like it.
