• Rhizome: Last Breath in Alaska (Found Object)
  The artist Pascual Sisto found a series of Google Street View images where a plastic bag found its way on top of the car-mounted camera. He's created a Flash document of the images, which are striking in their own way.

• mysqlgame - shard 3
  This MySQL role-playing game might be a good way to learn the syntax. Or it may just be a good way to get frustrated and bored.

• Re-Nest: Craft a Table Using Old Magazines
  This post shows how to create a stand of dubious structural integrity by folding the pages of magazines. This seems like a worthwhile project, although I would probably have to buy magazines second-hand, since my subscriptions look pretty rugged by the time I'm done reading them.

• Mashable: Ma.gnolia Goes Open Source
  I think I may move to the Ma.gnolia platform for my social bookmarks and quick posts to terrorintheheartland.com. My username over there is McChris if you want to find me.

• HappyCow: Porto Vegetarian Restaurants
  This might come in handy, although it would seem Porto is not so vegetarian friendly.

• |||| Maus Hábitos ||||
  This place looks cool, but I don't read or speak Portuguese. I presume it's a space for cultural intervention.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a legitimate post here, and part of the reason is because I’ve moved to a different blog, Terror in the Heartland. I decided a while ago that this blog has gone stale, and rather than try to reboot this blog, I would rather start fresh.

Part of the reason for moving is that I blog most and perhaps best with a linkblog or a clipping style or blog, and this blog was designed for more long-form writing. So rather than keep up my practice of blogging through daily del.icio.us dumps or posting stuff to my Tumblr, “Random Crap,” I thought I would start a blog based primarily around clips.

There’s a bunch of work I’d like to do on the layout at the new blog, so I don’t think Terror in the Heartland is quite ready for prime time, but everything on the Web is a work in progress, so I think it’s time to point whatever readers I might still have over to the new blog.

Well, with that out of the way, I’ll invite everyone over to Terror in the Heartland.
