Mid-October Link Dump

Too busy to blog, but never too busy to collect a few links:

It Fell From The Sky: A cute/melancholy animation by Jason Ruddy.
Exploits of a Mom: If you’re interviewing server-side developers, show them this first to save time. You can immediately reject anyone who doesn’t get it.
Does the Frank Spencer music have Morse code?: Somewhat more bizarre and surprising than Morse’s Morse.
Re-inventing XMLHttpRequest: JavaScript code to iron out some annoying browser quirks in client-server communication.
What if Google had to design their user interface for Google?: The perils of crude SEO.
Unity: I know I’ve mentioned this game development environment before, but the new version really does look superb. Yeah, of course you lose a hell of a lot of performance from working at a higher level, but unless you have an immense budget you need to focus on gameplay and minimise testing/QA/optimisation/debugging.
Please don’t sever the chimp’s arm!: Stuff like this makes me want to use their service.
