Interesting links for April 9th through April 12th:

  • Vintage reproduction clothing (Pin-up, burlesque & rockabilly) – The ultimate shopping list! – Great list of shops that sell vintage clothing (dresses, lingerie, swimsuits).
  • The Many Faces Of… Alan Rickman – Brilliant. This is only the first part in a new series ("exploring a new actor, actress, director or movie on a monthly basis"), so keep an eye on future ones.
  • Top 10 Fantastic Fountains – I've always loved fountains (another feature of my future mansion will be a huge dragon fountain in the backyard). My favourite is the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Rome, featuring the 4 major rivers at the time (Nile, Danube, Ganges and Plate). That one isn't included in this list, but all 10 are pretty amazing.
  • The Ultimate List of Twitter Software for Mac (50+ Apps) – Good list of clients for Twitter. I'm currently using Nambu, but still not completely satisfied with it. I think the main thing I want from a Twitter client is to a) easily see how many unread tweets I have (which most clients don't really do) and b) see threaded conversations of replies and direct messages.
  • By Zeus! The Version of Clash of The Titans You Didn’t See – If you saw my review last week of Clash of the Titans, you know how much I didn't like it. Most of my problems were with the story and I hadn't realized it had gone through so many recuts and reshoots. I wish we could have seen the original cut; it would have worked much better I think.

Interesting links for December 17th through December 20th:

  • George Lucas loses court appeal over Star Wars costume copyright – Times Online – The Stormtrooper design was deemed utilitarian and made from an “industrial design” perspective, meaning it doesn’t fall under the art copyright protection from 70 years, but under the industrial design copyright protection, which only is 15 years (and has fallen by now).
  • The Death of the BBC | Mssv – Interesting blog post from Adrian Hon about the BBC.
  • Measuring Type : Matt Robinson – “A selection of the most commonly used typefaces were compared for how economical they are with the amount of ink which they use at the same point size. Large scale renditions of the typefaces were drawn out with ballpoint pens, allowing the remaining ink levels to display the ink efficiency of each typeface.”
  • Google Browser Size – Cool visualization tool that shows you the percentage of browser sizes for people who visit Google.
  • Name That Movie – Paul Rogers – I’m not linking to a specific post, but to the blog of the artist. He’s last 5 posts (and there will be more) are all about “Name That Movie”, six hand drawn pictures all taken from one movie. Guess the movie based on those 6 images. He does a lot of older movies, which I still haven’t seen, but it’s still pretty cool to play.
  • 2009 in photos (part 1 of 3) – The Big Picture – 120 photos of this year.
