Meriblog: Meri Williams’ Weblog

Making things useful, getting stuff done

links for 2006-04-23

  • BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Wildlife defies Chernobyl radiation
    Apparently wildlife is thriving in the area around Chernobyl
    “Now it’s typical for animals to be radioactive - too radioactive for humans to eat safely - but otherwise healthy.”
    (tags: environment news radiation animals chernobyl)
  • CD Lamp
    Too many CDs kicking about? Build a CD lamp! I must say, it looks very cool.

  • all in the head — The Term ‘Subscribe’ Can Mislead
    “In our world, most subscriptions are free. No problem, so long as we remember to communicate that clearly.”
    Drew makes a very good point — we need to be aware of the “traditional” meanings of these words we’ve coopted
    (tags: web2.0 subscriptions rss)
  • Alex McLendon
    “Most of Alex’s classmates - including some of the boys - wore bows in their hair in protest until ordered to remove them by the principal.”
    Terrible story, but nice to see the other schoolkids supporting her right to dress how she wants.
    (tags: genderpolitics genderqueer gender)
  • Act like a man | Salon.com
    This is an absolutely lovely, heart-wrenching story. What particularly struck me is that the gender bias strikes at different stages — tomboy girls have a lot more trouble later on (tweens and teens), whereas lads have huge issues from even toddler stage
    (tags: gender genderpolitics genderqueer)
  • Cute Overload! ;)
    Exactly what it says on the tin.
    (tags: cute blogging overload humour internet web2.0 animals funny)
  • oneafrikan.com » Search engine tips to consider
    Stuff to think on. I get asked about SEO a lot by randoms (usually small business owners) and the advice I almost always give is just: put good content up there, update as often as makes sense and try to use someone who knows about web standards.

  • Tinymeat :: The Store
    Funky little wallets, card holders, wristbands and things. Might need to get one of the cardholders when my gaffer taped YP railcard holder eventually dies out.
    (tags: design shopping wallets)
  • WSJ: eBay looking for allies against Google
    “There’s really no reason why Microsoft couldn’t do what Google is doing, apart from a couple of decades of bureaucratization and a brand people think of as ruthless and old school rather than progressive and “not evil.”"
    (tags: google ebay yahoo business microsoft wars)
