Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 3/12/10

Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 3/12/10

After a long week, nothing says relaxing quite like seeing what the underbelly of the internet looks like (no, not that underbelly).  Most Fridays, we do the digging so you don’t have to.  So, enjoy the following links and knowing that the relentless effort it takes to uncover and save them isn’t giving you ADHD, only me.

Have you ever wondered what famous hand models actually look like beyond their hands? Wonder no more.

24 secret restaurant menus revealed.  I knew about some of the Starbucks ones, but the rest? News to me.

Over at Reddit, there is a great discussion about ‘If you were the last person on Earth, what would you do?’  I love these sort of thought exercises.

President Obama has appointed Edward Tufte “whose job is to track and explain $787 billion in recovery stimulus funds.”  (If you aren’t familiar with Tufte, here’s a primer.)

Your TV, as if it wasn’t bad enough before, is slowly weakening and/or killing you.  If only Chuck Norris could be so subtle.

Books in the age of the iPad: Craig Mod’s most thoughtful, well-analyzed and beautiful essay on the future of books.

Ryan over at Signal vs. Noise talks about the two entirely different worlds that are shopping for a Palm Pixi at a Sprint store and an iPhone at an Apple store.

And finally, a bunny eats a dandelion.  If you decide to bail out before the end, well, your loss.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
