Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 10/29/10

Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 10/29/10

One year ago, I had not exorcised my deep-seated fear of skeletons. Fast forward to the present, nothing has changed.  This is bothersome to me.  Am I the only one who has stuff like this?

Instead of unearthing other petty fears a 41 year old man shouldn’t even be entertaining, here are some links.  Am I avoiding issues?  Yes.  See me next year when I’m 42 and my therapist is $5K richer.

Joe Wilcox on Microsoft’s Q1 2011 numbers.  Good news, but there are a few things to look at.  Their Xbox division, always lauded by MS brass, has income that’s a drop in the bucket compared to Windows and Office.  What’s more, their online services posted a $560M loss.

Neven Mrgan’s week as seen through his Wikipedia browsing history. Looks as schizophrenic as mine.

Mark Doesn’t Understand Animals, a webcomic.

Amazon Windowshop for iPad.  It’s equal parts awesome and beautiful.  And how about its hybrid architecture: a rich client iOS app built atop a web service.  Nice.

Eight Successful People Dong Exactly What They Want.  Very good reading right here.  (Make sure you click through them all.)

Fainting goat kittens.  What a strange disorder.

Finally, because I think it’s easy to overlook how incredible we humans are at just about everything (no sarcasm), I present to you ‘People Are Awesome’.  Watch it and tell me you don’t agree.

People doing amazing things.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
