Four short links: 27 April 2010

5 Links, Release Your Source to Merge, Disease Fun, Fake Vis

  1. Five Short Links — Pete Warden’s one-upped me. I will not join this arms race, for I know that it will end with “5,187 short links”. Pete has interesting crawling, geodata, and startup links.
  2. Ticketmaster Consent Decree — the source code to their ticketing platform is affected by the consent to merger. (via Redmonk)
  3. Doctors Make Game Out of Learning Infection ControlA table-top card battle game, “The Healing Blade” is built around a fantasy world, complete with sorcerers, villains and heroines that the two doctors created. Characters are divided into The Apothecary Healers, named after real-world antibiotics, and The Lords of Pestilence, named after actual bacterial agents. Teaches med students how to match antibiotics to infecting agents. (via Hacker News)
  4. The Visualization Cargo Cult — eyecandy is not informative. The candy examples are wincesome.
