Fink's Links #35

So another week reaches the end of the conveyor belt of reality and topples into the abyss, my nano-tube web of goodness did manage to snare a morsel or two though, just before it fell in (phew!) -

Firstly lets have a little walk around Jay Walker(internet entrepreneur)'s library (well worth the visit - "the bibliographic equivalent of a Disney ride")...

Now lets visit the illegal labour camps of Dubai - ("We need slaves," my friend says. "We need slaves to build monuments. Look who built the pyramids - they were slaves.")

Check out one or two rather "over-the-top" Halloween decorations...

"Do not calculate all the digits of Pi in Binary"...

"Boy, 14 posed as female spy to arrange his own murder"...

See a slideshow of some of the best entries in the "Wildlife photographer of the year" competition for 2008...

Having a Gangsta party? You'll certainly be needing some AK-47 Bullet-shaped ice cubes...quite 'cool' actually...(har har har)...ahem...whatever next...? ;)

Well, next, as it happens, a pencil that makes music as you write or draw?

...Carcade system uses a webcam to turn the enviroment outside the car into a game environment...and to think I used to just use my imagination...

Check out the *incredible* lego model "Zombie Apocafest 2008" (looks like they have introduced a couple of new brick shapes since my day)...!

...and finally a hilarious Good news fail and (head-shaking in disbelief) "Cow curiosity fail"...

More links next week and previous weeks links can be found here... ;)
