March Link Dump

Try to think of this less as a load of old leftovers, and more as a collection of treasures I’ve carefully saved up for you:

Hnefatafl: No, I didn’t pass out on my keyboard, it’s an old Viking boardgame (I reckon a really slick online version could work well as a multi-level puzzle, battling it out against the computer; I’ve only spotted ropy-looking implementations so far).
Onomatopeyas: I always loved these.
vom.it: I’m not a huge fan of misusing countries’ TLDs (.tv stands for Tuvalu, not television), but this has to be one of the best domain names ever.
“If a grizzly bear got into a fight with a gorilla, who do you think would win, and why?”: If you’re in the UK and haven’t been following Coventry-based The Armstrongs on BBC2 then make sure you catch future repeats, as it’s an amusing/horrifying lesson in how not to run a company and manage people; as bosses, they’re absolutely vile and clueless (even allowing for clever editing/staging and playing up to the cameras). Luckily, the two Leamington Spa-based muppets on The Apprentice have been fired before the combined effect could do too much damage to this area’s business reputation. Anyway, blogjam tested them all with a probing question.
Invicid Shop and A LABEL: Two that would’ve made it into T Time if I’d spotted/remembered them soon enough.
Commuting to the Office in Finland: Makes my walk into town look terribly short and humdrum.
Dynamic Favicons: One of those neat little hacks that might find a real use.
ClearType in Internet Explorer 7: Good news: lots more people will be seeing anti-aliased text. Bad news: for some reason they’re making IE an exception instead of simply politely prompting people to try out ClearType system-wide.
