Isaac's Links 1.0

I just recently re-organized my bookmarks in Firefox and in doing so went through all my random bookmarks that I told myself I would get back to one day. I found some pretty out-dated stuff that I immediately deleted but I also found some gems that I thought I'd share.

Feed the Head
First up is a link I bookmarked on September 1st, 2007. It is an interactive time waster that gives you simple commands to get some pretty creative results. I found out that it is actually part of a larger site with similar interactive time waster games that you may or may have not seen before. I enjoyed the creativity of this site and was looking forward to what would happen after each click.

Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing
This second link is to a video of software that resizes your pictures in a very cool manner. I bookmarked this link back on August 21st, 2007. I'm not even sure I understand how this works but I think it is a very very cool product and am curious to what state of development and use that it is at today.

Body Tricks
Going back even further in time to July 10th, 2007 I bookmarked this link thinking I probably wouldn't remember these from reading them once so I bookmarked them to be able to read them later on. They are simply little body tricks that everyone should know to help out in everyday life.

Lip Dub - Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger

As I was looking through my random bookmark folder I saw that the first link that started that folder, the first bookmark in which I was like, "I must bookmark this but it is so random. Where do I put it?" I remember discovering this video long before I ever bookmarked it. I remember discovering it on Kevin Rose's blog in early summer of 07' when we were still in the school year. I remember discovering it and immediately falling in love with the people in the video and went on to watch all of their other videos on Vimeo. I quickly became a lover of lip dubs and other short videos that people put up on the video sharing site (namely Amanda Ferri and Jakob Lodwick). This started my video-making craze of the summer of 07' which has continued on my facebook and vimeo accounts to date. I'm not saying that I owe my entire video making hobby to this video and this site but they have certainly encouraged me to make many many lip dubs and other everyday videos. I hope that some people watch this video and think it is cool but I also hope that there are others that enjoy the internet and what it can do and recognize how vimeo excels over other video sharing sites and make an account and explore it.

Side Links

I just added a new side link, which are my picks from many RSS feeds I subscribe to. So, by going there, you get the cream of Matt's crop.
