My recent re-discovery of Things Magazine (probably from one of you, don’t recall now) and my own readings on crime-related topics have yielded some links that need to be permanently hung onto.

A new category, Bodies/Food:

• The Cube Rule Page 1m
  A simple explanation of cuisine geometry. (Via John Philpin.)

Added to Crimes/Simple:

• Photo Requests from Solitary Page 5m
  This goes here until I have a Favors/Simple category. Even when a request hasn’t been filled, the form is fun to read and stirs up such compassion. (Via Things.)

Added to Crimes/Impossible:

• Spring-heeled Jack Article 5m
  The impossible leaping skill of this urban legend (ripped from the penny dreadfuls of the Victorian age) had such a technological flare. Ah, the idea that an inventor-cobbler with a gas-powered dental retainer could inspire demonic fear. His attacks lasted a century! (Also at Wikipedia.)

• The Garfield Phones Beach Mystery Article 1m
  Who was sending plastic Garfield telephones up the Iroise coast for 35 years?

To Crimes/Lies:

• How Golf Explains Trump Article 1m
  

  Well, for a 72-year-old, he’d be a six. Six or seven. So he’s good. He’s a good player. He’s among our best presidents ever to play golf. But he wants the world to think he’s fantastic.

  I think the best lies are the ones we all get to be in on.

Added to Tapes/Classic:

• Broadcast Megaguide (by shadowplay) Directory 5m
  I love Broadcast. The first time I saw them/her, it was exactly like being in a vintage Star Trek episode, but with fantastic drums. I also love Stereolab—so this entire directory of offshoots and distant cousins is rich.

Added to Visuals/Film:

• "Please Help Me Find the Very Best Strange, Trippy Short Films and Videos" Directory 5m
  MeFi thread. Turns out to be a good intro to animated shorts and music vids. (Via Things.)

• IT CAME FROM… Blog 5m
  Interviews and fantasies re: sci-fi and horror films of yore. What can I say? It’s like candy floss. (Via Things.)

In Web/Meta:

• Internet Archaeology Directory 5m
  Flash, GIF, MIDI and porn collections from the early Web.

And a new one for Web/Participate:

• 1MB
  One megabyte (with only minor strings attached) to host anything you want, includes secure HTTP. If you want to go up to one gig, it’s a mere $100 for life. (See also: Neocities.)
