Linky & Dinky ALERT:
monkeys plot to fly out our butts
And that's just the headline!
Uncle URL never ceases to deliver a timely and amazing weekly collection of the bizarre and the beautiful from around the e-Universe. Delivered right to your e-mail in-box twice a week, I wouldn't miss it for anything!
Uncle URL has been sending out his "Internauts" as he so fondly calls them since 1997 and I love the headlines of the links in particular. LinkyDinky is witty, irreverent, poignant and very, very smart. It is a valuable resource and a great way to waste a few hours every week. WARNING: reading LinkyDinky is highly habit forming!

Pinhole Paper Cameras
He has been called a genius and reading his autobiography I tend to agree with these reviews.
The photographer, Thomas Hudson Reeve, says it best:
"The modern camera is a wonderful thing, but it's nice to remember how simple the mechanism can be. You can strip away the technology until there is little left but the abstraction on which the machine is based. A simple manipulation of space, a few materials, and a couple of hand tools and the magic (physics) is at your fingertips without sophisticated engineering."

Do you smell something funny?
It takes guts, or should I say gibbleguts, to be funny each and every day, but Dan Gibson does just that with his wildly successful cartoon feature, Gibbleguts.com.
In addition to Gibbletoons, Dan regales us with interactive Flash and funny screensavers
which will keep you laughing for hours. My favorites are his dogs but his Farting Cats and Dancing Granny are must sees!
Oh and before you go, check out the Recycled Madonna Bras collection. Dan Gibson must never sleep, otherwise how would he be able to come up with all of this twisted stuff!

Never forget another birthday again.
A reminder service that really works; what a concept! BirthdayAlarm.com accomplished this but wasn't content to stop with one great idea! In late 2003 they decided that they wanted to create the best e-greeting card site on the Internet too.
They searched high and lo for the best artists and when they launched on May 2, 2004 they introduced some of the most innovative animated greetings and postcards on the Web. The members of their immensely popular free reminder service started finding the new premium ecards from day one and have continued to sign up at an ever increasing rate!
And these guys have just gotten started. This site is worth watching...and sending!
