Week Links is a collection of some of my favourite links from around the web that I stumbled upon during the past week. You may already be familiar with some of them, but I think they’re worth checking out if you haven’t already.
The Accoutrements Horse Head Mask
What’s great about this isn’t the product itself, a slightly creepy rubber horse mask, but the customer submitted images of the product. I’m a big fan of the snarky and intentionally ridiculous reviews that can be found on some Amazon products (Three Wolf Moon t-shirt, anyone?) and this is just the natural evolution. There are 15 pages of great pictures. Seriously, check them out.
These are just plain cool. The large black borders and deceptive assemblies make these fully functional bags appear to be only two dimensional. Most of the styles are very female oriented, but I’m a big fan of the one displayed above, “Play Hooky”.
Bill C-11, SOPA, ACTA and the TPP
This is a very informative article on the various internet censorship laws our politicians, at the behest of their big media bankrollers, are trying to push through into law in Canada and the United States. If you use the internet at all, you owe it to yourself to become educated on this topic, and then take the time to contact your representative. Though the wording of each is different, they all have the power to fundamentally change the way the internet works, for the worse, shutting down its most useful and popular aspects and putting thousands out of work, all to protect politician’s paymasters in an industry that is refusing to adapt.
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
The article I linked to covers it all in much more depth, but the short version is this is an RPG to be played on a massive scale all throughout the Magic Kingdom and Walt Disney World. It’s still in the testing phase at the moment but will see official rollout soon. I will definitely check it out the next time I’m in Florida.
This fan made video combines two of my favourite things, the brilliant game Portal 2 and the film The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s a reworking of the song This Is Halloween, but with the Portal characters and I absolutely love it.
That’s it for this week. I’ll be back again on Monday with the regular features, and there are two of the old style, lengthy posts coming up soon.
Sleep well,
DTE
