Four Tuesday quickies:

  1. The Technology Behind Coraline -- 3D stop-motion movie used a 3D printer to make the dolls and things like drops of water.
  2. Some OSCON Proposal Tips (Alex Russell) -- good advice for anyone submitting a talk to a technical conference.
  3. Oscar Predictions You Can Bet On -- Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight turns his attention to the Oscars.
  4. Web Hooks and the Programmable Web of Tomorrow -- a epic presentation of different ways to offer and use callbacks, URLs on your site that a remote service can hit when something happens on their service. (via Stinky)
