Links for 21 July 2008 through 25 July 2008
27 July 2008 in Daily Links by del.icio.us | 1 comment
Stilgherrian’s links for 21 July 2008 through 25 July 2008, gathered by a small, well-trained pig, washed by hand and exposed to cool, dry air:
- The Changing Newsroom | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ): A detailed analysis of the American daily newspaper of 2008, incuding the role of citizen journalist and a look to the future.
- Google Maps (Part I of "The Googling") | YouTube: The first of 5 short films about a Google-run world gone scary.
- How to Think | Ed Boyden's blog:: "I composed 10 rules, which I sometimes share with students. I've listed them here, followed by some practical advice on implementation."
- 2055: Voyage to Mars | YouTube: 9 minutes of animation by David Ross, with no CGI whatsoever. A fine tribute to an almost-lost craft.
- Font Conference | CollegeHumor video: It's not often I can tag a video both "typography" and "humour", but here it is…
- Manned spaceship design unveiled | BBC News: The first official image of a Russian-European manned spacecraft has been released. It is designed to replace the Soyuz vehicle currently in use by Russia.
- Afghanistan. 1986-1987. It is photographed by the pilot of the helicopter. | Military Photos: My crusty Cold War correspondent writes: "Militaryphotos.net is frequented by Walter Mittyish paintball types, but they occasionally post material of real interest." Like a Soviet helicopter pilot's personal photos from his 1986-87 tour of Afghanistan.
- Privacy | Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: After Mark Pesce's offhand remark that privacy was a construct of the Enlightenment, I decided to do some reading. This is where I started.

Thanks for the pig-gathered links. Was the pig laid off from sniffing out truffles? I found the link on journalism timely, my son has been looking for a job as a reporter and can’t seem to land one, even though he is well qualified and the local papers are advertising – they won’t even grant him the decency of acknowleding that he exists! Very frustrating!
