jadesfireI figured it was time to match my house-cleaning to some internet-cleaning and go through my Delicious account. I've got so many links saved in there it's getting silly. These are just some I thought you guys might enjoy :)
Reading the whole internet would take you 57,000 years. Fortunately, you have me to pick the best bits for you ;D
A literary cat makes library visits. And it's not alone
What IS the collective noun for librarians?
Awful library books does exactly what it says on the tin and definitely isn't drinks-safe.
Ah, if only our students were truly this enthusiastic for the library. *sigh*
Someone has too much time on their hands, but they're using it wisely: The Book: Terms of Service
The Librarian, a new take on an old idea.
Ban the Dictionary! It's got all kinds of filthy stuff in it! *waves pitchfork*
I love podfic, and audio books so this piece on The lost art of reading aloud resonated strongly with me.

You've heard of Medicins sans frontiers? Meet Geeks Without Borders
Mapumental is a fascinating project to map the UK's public transport network. One of its first aims is to help you to find somewhere good to live for you commute to work, which sounds like a great plan. It's still in private beta right now, so it'll be interesting to see if it ever goes live.
It's a microwave for cooking baked beans, and it's powered by USB. Oh Yes.
These videos take you through 60 symbols of physics and astronomy and are little gems of knowledge.
If you haven't seen Nathan Sawaya, the brick artist, then you're missing out on some essential lego art and nostalgia.
I love optical illusions, and this is a great one.
I'm a bit behind with these, but Fifty-two stories was a wonderful project to publish a new/old short story every week. These are wonderful pieces and well worth a flick through.
World Images gives access to California State University's IMAGE project. There are thousands of pictures of everything imaginable here. A real visual treat.
For when you really, really need it: The Flounce Post Generator
Approach with caution and with your coffee well out of reach: Dan Brown's 20 worst sentences. GAH! MY EYES!!!!1!
It's possible that this baby anteater is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Possibly.
The essential wedding accessory for all geeks: The nerdiest wedding cake toppers, ever
This guy draws on cups. 'Nuff said.
Disguise your flat bed scanner, as a book! The whole site is full of steampunky goodness. Gorgeous.
For those with a more artistic eye than me, Chromatik could be a very useful search engine, categorising by colour first.
