XKCD Influences People, Life, Ninjas
Wired finally figured out where the cool part of the web is and talked about the lovely comic, XKCD.
And then Munroe's fans read the installment in which a mysterious dream girl leaves the hero with a set of coordinates for a place and time in the near future.
In the comic, nothing happens. "It turns out that wanting something doesn't make it real," the comic's narrator says mournfully.
But in real life, those coordinates pointed to a real time and place: Sept. 23, 2:38 p.m., in Reverend Thomas J. Williams Park in North Cambridge, Massachusetts. On that day, nearly a thousand xkcd fans from as far away as England and Canada converged on the park, bearing tape measures and Rubik's cubes. At the assigned minute, Munroe emerged and spoke.
"Maybe wanting something does make it real," he said as his fans cheered and fought duels with foam swords. The comic that spurred the gathering was enlarged and hung from a fence, and fans took turns contributing to a new last panel, where dreams can come true.
You lost me with the foam sword duels. I'm not sayin' I'm too cool for school. I'm just sayin' I'm entirely too cynical.
Every sword I wield in public will have a razor's edge. Every battle I fight will be to the pain.

Flickr Ladies Love Showing Nipple
Both were self-portraits taken by gifted amateur women photographers whose work has attracted hundreds of thousands of internet viewers. And each photograph ignited a furious debate about what one woman photographer has described as "the new trend for the enlightened, liberated woman of today . . . to be proudly naked on the internet".
"Mona Lisa is finally jumping out of the frame, slapping Leonardo and painting herself," declared Lola the Car Chick, a photographer who was among more than 11,000 viewers of the scarf shot by Rebekka Guoleifsdottir, a 28-year-old single mother from Reykjavik.

Ms Monster Hunts and Kills the Unworthy
1) I don't know Ms Monster or Her Monster Melons.
2) It appears that she has a TV show(Hel on Ice)/Flickr site/ comic thing going.
Editor's note: 3) d tells me something. I didn't dig deep enough into the Lickr site. She's a what now? I'm insanely disconcerted. Disturbingly disconcerted. I need a shot of whiskey and a corner to crawl into the fetal position for a few hours. Then the world will be peas and carrots again.
The pics still make me laugh, though.

Jim Bumgardner is an App Creating GENIUS
On the one hand Jim Bumgardner made this mind geekingly cool collage of covers from the visual index of science fiction cover art which is arranged horizontally by time, and vertically by average hue.
I waste hours flipping around in there.
He also made a Flickr texture picker.

The Art of (Red) Bull
Found this Flickr set by coda and was all ready to mock the hell out of it. Then I found these photos:
...and was thus put in my place. Pretty good shit there.
Maybe the Red Bull Art of Can exhibit will become an annual thing.
As per usual, click on the pics for bigger images.

More Flickr Apps
On the one hand I'm obssessed with Flickr.
On the other hand I'm obssessed with Google Earth.
Let's put those hands together.
There's a dyanmic layer that links from Google Earth to geotagged Flickr images.
You can now reverse it and "link to Google Earth dynamically from within the Flickr website, letting Google Earth fly you to the spot where your geotagged photo was taken"
(via ogleearth)
You can also automate geotagging with Firefox extension Grease Monkey.
(via ogleearth)
Then there's Geobloggers:
Now all I need is a GPS.
