Link Love: 8.27.09
• Read up on The Best of Wikipedia. According to kottke, some recent entries include Lawsuits Against God, Missing White Woman Syndrome and Dead Cat Bounce.
• There’s a nice little write-up about me over on SeanWard.net.
• The Etsy Wars: Artisans’ Backlash Against the Craft Site. Only a select few of Etsy’s sellers actually make major money.
• 20 Fascinating Ancient Maps includes the Island of California! Haha.
• Silence is a Rhythm Too is one of my favorite music blogs.
• Have you ever wondered how people live on the other side of the world? In City One Minutes, “life in each city is divided into 24 one minute portraits, each depicting one hour of the day. Every film is a personal impression of the city in which the artist lives or in which he is staying.”
• I really like this color chart bag.
• Vital Tips For Effective Logo Design is extremely comprehensive. Deciding what to charge a client for the process is also covered.
• Typedia is a new website that classifies typefaces and educates people about them. It’s like a mix between IMDb and Wikipedia, but just for type. (via swiss miss)
• GQ ranks America’s 25 most douchiest colleges. Did your school make the cut? Do you agree with the list?
• The worlds first cocaine bar is located in Bolivia. According to the article, “The waiter arrives at the table, lowers the tray and places an empty black CD case in the middle of the table. Next to the CD case are two straws and two little black packets. He is so casual he might as well be delivering a sandwich and fries.” (via kottke)
• Furniture never looked so stylish: View an original IKEA catalog, circa 1965.
• For Print Only has just compiled a list of books about getting things printed, knowing what to print them on and how they look when they are printed. What a life saver!

the maps! that link is fantastic, thanks! i’m going to be spending sept. working on worldbuilding for my serial novel and i always find maps to be really, really inspiring when i do this.
(i love the lion one, haha!)
also, you *are* a bloghero, time to don your cape!
When I spoke to customer service at my credit card company this morning, I imagined that girl on the other end was that girl in the picture here.
Looking at it again, she’s a dead ringer for a girl I know named Karoline.
Thanks for the Link Love, Nubbz!
Thanks for the link love Nubby!
How do you find all these links??
Ah, #14 douchiest school, ASU. We really do have the best boobies. [note: I rolled my eyes after typing that]
It should also be noted ASU really does manage to produce the skeeziest pictures of people you thought you respected.
As usual, a butt-load of amazing links. Thanks Nubby!
Hah I was just in Bolivia– I heard nothing about that bar though.
The Etsy article was interesting, it’s sad that some Etsy-ers aren’t making great profit, but I’ve gotten so much cute stuff from there it’s hard to dislike it!
hi, the girl/boy in the picture looks so much like a singer from big bang that just went solo his name is G-dragon (well not his real name obviously)

ahh. agreed with wietske!
first thing i thought of when i saw the pic. G-Dragon!
He’s a fashion icon as well.. trend setter.
or as some see it.. a fashion disaster.
I have to agree with the number one choice for the top 25 douchiest colleges. I live in Providence and is in contact with plenty of Brown students, and holy crap, they are dumb. Common sense wasn’t required to get into that school. They are mostly known for wandering into the street when the light is green and standing at the crosswalk when the light is red. Seriously. It’s a past time of mine to roll down the window and cuss them out when they start to cross the street when we are driving by.
