Links: Aug 25, 2005

Again, rather than clog the feeds with a dozen new links I've put them into this one post:

• Moodgrapher: The World according to LiveJournal: charting the moods of LiveJournal bloggers (interesting how "accomplished" drops off on Friday and Saturday but restarts on Sunday).
• The Maori Haka: learn to do the Maori war dance that the New Zealand rugby team starts all their games with. We'll learn this when I do a New Zealand FOO Camp.
• ISP to offer unlimited sharing of Sony music: amazing breakthrough for shared music, if it comes true. [Via]
• IMSAI Series Two: vintage computer system that has space for an ATX motherboard as well. Do your retro computing and your open source hacking on the same box.
• Lloyds insuring open source: "Lloyd's of London is close to offering independent insurance protection worldwide against potential IP litigation involving Linux and open source software." Hmm, a possible for EuroOSCON?
• Trackback: A Tragedy in Three Acts: not just funny because trackback spam is a major pain in the ass for us here on O'Reilly Radar, but also because Ben and Mena really are that sugary sweet (fire axe excepted).
• GEvil t-shirt: want one. [Via]
• Interesting Yahoo! Patent Applications: includes "IM integration with calendars", "Voice integrated VOIP system" (sounds redundant to me), and "systems and methods for implementing person-to-person money exchange". First Bank of Yahoo!, anyone? Via]
• VOIP Wiki: Wikipedia for VOIP technology. So much to learn, so little time. Via]
• A 6 Year Old Writes Games in Python: a great way to get kids started in programming. I'm a bad Perl father for not doing this with William. [Via]
• The Candy Man: a great piece about Roald Dahl. I just finished reading Danny: Champion of the World to William last night. The New Yorker piece has a fantastic Chesterton quote: "[life] is not only a pleasure but an eccentric privilege". [Via]
• First software radio 3G cellphone: all the radio communications are done in software. [Via]
• 1:1500 scale model of London: I'm a closet London-lover. Must catch on the next trip to London as, uh, research for Where 2.0. Yeah, that's it. [Via]
• Twist in the Tail: visualizing IM presence history. [Via]
• Open Source Usability: The Birth of a Movement: It came out of a FLOSS usability sprint organized by Eugene Eric Kim of Blue Oxen. [Via]
