Links of Note
A repository for all those links that find their way into my bookmarks folder or desktop and are interesting enough to save for some reason but not interesting enough to talk about or probably ever visit again.

Crocs
Crocs: I am in love with these shoes, and I must own at least a few pair in some wild colors. :D
Magazines lauding Austin
From National Geographic to Conde Nast, magazines lauding Austin: Everybody loves Austin. Then they go and tell everybody else how great it is and a bunch of morons move in and try to make it just as miserable as it was where they came from.
I wish magazines would STOP lauding Austin! :(

Kiddie Records Weekly: Does anyone else remember vinyl albums ... especially the sort for kids with stories or silly songs? If you do, and you love them, you can download lots of the classics here.
The Wooden Library
The Wooden Library at Alnarp Library: "The wooden library, or xylothek (from the Greek words for tree, xylon, and storing place, theke) consists of 217 volumes describing 213 different species or varieties of trees and shrubs."
They are books, but not the way you may think. Wooden books about trees! I love these!

Balancing Point
Balancing Point - Google Video: Rocks, stacked, in reverse. Very, very cool. So cool, I might have linked it before, but it's worth looking at again. :)
GOP delaying 2nd coming
Preacher says GOP delaying 2nd coming: "Voters should oust congressional Republican leaders because U.S. foreign policy is delaying the second coming of Jesus Christ, according to a evangelical preacher trying to influence closely contested political races."
The news story was posted October 9th, before the elections. I guess now the Republicans have been ousted, we can expect Jesus to show up any time now.

Bejeweled Bugs
For the person who has everything and is a stupid slave to fashion, you have to check out the giant Madagascar hissing cockroach brooch. It's not a joke. It should be a joke, but alas, there are actually people who want to tether a fat, bejeweled roach to their clothing in the name of being fashionable.
Ewwww ... yuck!
Ewwww ... yuck!

Candy Shot Glasses: I meant to order some of these in time for Xmas, but I lost the link and forgot about them. I still want to order some. It would be so cool to drink Peppermint Schnapps out of peppermint candy glasses!

Knitta!
Knitta:
Knitta began in August 2005, when AKrylik and PolyCotN were discussing their frustration over unfinished knitting projects: half-knitted sweaters and balls of yarn gathering dust. That afternoon, they knit their first doorknob cozy. Then it dawned on them… A tag crew of knitters, bombing the inner city with vibrant, stitched works of art, wrapped around everything from beer bottles on easy nights to public monuments and utility poles on more ambitious outings.
