Friday May 20, 2005 Favorite BoingBoing links (2000)
I've been meaning to check this out for quite a while. BoingBoing, one of my favorite RSS feeds has a link on their web site pointing you to an archive of the first five years of their posts.
I've been slowly going through this (starting with the oldest first), and squirelling away pointers to the ones that particularly interested me.
Here are my favorite BoingBoing links for the year 2000. Because of their vintage, some of their 2000 links are no longer around, but these were all still there at the time I posted this. Back in those days, there was just Mark Frauenfelder posting. It's also interesting to see the evolution of their blogging style(s). Not many images in the initial days.
- Eric Drexler's book Engines of Creation is available online [link]
- Cliff Pickover's Internet Encyclopedia of Hoaxes [link]
- An impressive demo of AT&T Labs' Next-Generation Text-To-Speech technology [link]
- Little tiny horses to replace guide dogs? [link]
- Yenz is a neat and eerie shockwave game site [link]
- Palm Pilot Robot Kit [link]
- Forget prototyping on a breadboard. Use a tortillaboard instead [link]
- Small but good archive of old National Lampoon articles [link]
- Gorgeous Nasa photograph of the electric lights across the Americas [link]
- Puzzles and type inversions from Scott Kim [link]
If/when I find the time, I'll post my favorite BoingBoing links for other months/years.
Check out the full list. I'm sure you'll find others that are more applicable to your tastes.
