Irregular Roundup #5

hadtosay: a little note sender, sorta. Can be anonymous, but doesn’t have to be. Cute little video about it here.

Remix: the idea that fanfic writers get together and rewrite (“remix”) a fic of someone else’s. A neat idea, though I don’t have enough fanfiction to participate.

Pro Publica has a change-tracking feed for the White House website and has a page for how to create a change-tracking feed for any site you want. I kinda want to set one up for this website, and it would’ve been nice to have this kind of thing when I was still using LiveJournal just to see how many skins I went through. I had some decent setups, I have to say, but they’re all lost to the virtual wind. And I care about the past—and maybe that’s important for a site like the White House’s site—but honestly, I think some things (at least in my case) are better off just lost.

In case you’re a loser or old or something: Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something (in no particular order) including bonus nsfw links.

I’m not exactly sure what a writing crash test is, but it seems like something I should eventually check out… by which I mean, if I ever have time to burn and I randomly decide to go through these irregular roundup posts, I’ll maybe have a looksee… by which that like likely means never.

Bacon lollipops; I’m not even kidding. They look good, and some of the other kinds look good, too. Expensive, though, of course. T_T

KeepShooting.com, where you can get The Anarchist Cookbook, The Turner Diaries, “how to field strip” guides, lockpicks, and… you know… gun stuff.

Yeah, this doesn’t make me feel any better. And older people saying I have to just suck it up and do my time really isn’t helping, either. Only my parents are allowed to do that, not just some random person who thinks I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

If you like Death Note (and know anything about it), this will probably amuse you. Well, it amused me, anyway. ^_^
