Just curious what interesting stuff you find during your surfin' sessions. Post a link to anything you find interesting and would like to share.

I just read a really beautiful blog entry. That's about it right now.

Poetry. (Flash)

This cool site that gives an estimate on your writing style compared to some prominent author. I keep getting Cory Doctorow over and over, and after reading an excerpt, I'll have to say I agree (slightly). Another time I was compared to Vladimir Nabokov, the (in)famous author of pedobear book "Lolita," and another time I was compared to Margaret Mitchell which was... weird.

YES. I saw that like two weeks back. I got the guy whatshisface that wrote Fight Club.

I was hoping for Douglas Adams.

Nitz · 08-15-2010, 10:49 PM

I got Arthur C. Clark. That was using an admissions essay, though. At some point, I will try again using a fiction story.

Edit: I just resubmitted the same thing and it gave me H.P. Lovecraft. So either its a gimmic that selects at random, or they've changed it / added authors since the last time I did it.

Nicky · 08-16-2010, 11:28 AM

Hmm. It wasn't that way for me. It was consistent every time even with different submissions, even when I tested them multiple times to see if it would change, it didn't.

Also, this:

Dudeo · 08-16-2010, 01:21 PM

Steel wool lit on fire, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm going to go trawling for good stuff to post here.

Dudeo · 08-16-2010, 02:14 PM

Small gallery of can't unsee.

Gives Me Hope, another website in the vein of FML.

Mr.doob, an awesome site. It's a collection of small projects. Even cooler with a webcam and/or a touchscreen.

I've seen most of those before, but they're still pretty good.

Dudeo · 08-19-2010, 05:11 PM

New batch of links.

Born Magazine. A site filled with literary projects and style. Tons of OC.

8 Bit Peoples, an amalgamation of pixel art and chiptunes projects.

Sporcle

Seems boring from the frontpage, but in reality it is an addictive quiz website that requires great memory.

Nicky · 08-21-2010, 10:36 PM

This song and video. For me it is highly addictive. It's a belt, by the way.

Why doesn't she fasten it or take it off, I wonder? Also, I'm curious if people who know Japanese can actually understand what she's singing.

I already posted that, but I think this is an appropriate thread for it.

That's just how she was drawn. There are some pictures where it's fully on but I think the tail-like effect of the half fastened belt suits her character more. Also, I doubt it. She's an UTAU which is basically a free version of Vocaloid so it sounds less realistic.

Ryu-Nacho · 08-22-2010, 08:33 PM

I can understand what she's saying well enough, but I don't know Japanese, so it's not doing me much good.
By the way, fun fact: Popipo is a Japanese onomatopoeia for bones being broken (or so I've heard).

Nicky · 08-31-2010, 03:02 PM

This is one of the cutest funniest blogs I've ever seen. Though unfortunately you have to sign in to see it.

when i broke my toe, i didn't hear a "popipo."

You should see a doctor about that.

Ryu-Nacho · 09-07-2010, 11:44 AM

For some reason, I don't think pointing a gun at some dude and having him cuss at you would help with a broken toe.

Supa Fool · 09-07-2010, 04:38 PM

And that reason is?

Nitz · 09-08-2010, 03:30 AM
