Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 2/4/11

We had a snowstorm this week, which was eventually dubbed a blizzard by The Weather People just before the snow started falling.

Coinciding with this storm, I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep.  This combination led me to say a great many stupid puns about the blizzard, including but not limited to:

• If this blizzard was a hockey game, I bet Alex Snowvechkin would get a hat trick.
• If this blizzard were a ‘The Usual Suspects’ remake, I bet Kevin Spacey would come back as Kaiser Snowze.
• I’m a huge fan of Chewbacca.  But let’s not forget his sidekick, Han Snowlo.
• Tonight I’m gonna have a nice glass of Bordeaux and re-watch the Snowlar Express.
• Snowtify me when it starts coming down, everyone.

There are more, but I see no reason in raking you over the coals any further.

This unfortunate string of nonsense led to a great deal of irritation on behalf of my Facebook friends, and people in stores and restaurants looked at me briefly and shuffled away nervously when I tried this material out on them.  I tell you all of this because I still contend it was funny, but I’m also the kind of guy who finds his cat gnawing on a faucet handle at 3 AM funny.

So yeah.  Probably not funny.

But, on the upside, here are some links for you.  I assure you these are better than what you’ve read so far.

John Gruber on the Verizon iPhone 4. In a nutshell: same phone as the AT&T iPhone 4, but better call reliability and audio quality.  AT&T’s network speeds are faster, but the coverage is spotty compared to Verizon.

If you click on one thing from this blog today, take a deep breath, dim your lights and make it this short film by Jesse Rosten, entitled Growing is Forever.  Hypnotic.

I didn’t know that Photoshops of cars with their roofs on backwards could be so cool to look at.  But now I do.

Roger Ebert’s best documentaries of 2010.  Great list.

Get action, do things, be sane.

Finally, my money says VW has the early frontrunner for best SuperBowl commercial this year.  Here’s a preview.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
