These are the bookmarks I created between February 10th, 2008 and February 11th, 2008:

• NPR: ‘Second Life’ Players Face Real Financial Losses - Ack! A Second Life recession! Or worse?
• The Eco-Media Player, from Trevor Baylis Brands plc - The Eco Media Player is a wind-up media player. 1 min of winding gives 40 min of listening. Plus it plays vids, charges your cell phone and has a flashlight. Amazing!
• Mighty Seek - Web Application Security Podcast and Blog » PodPress - This is a pretty robust plugin for podcasting with Wordpress. I have been browsing for a friend who is thinking of starting her own podcast…
• Spread OpenID » OpenID Guide for End Users - This guide shows how to add OpenID handler tags to your website, so you can use your domain as your Open ID login (you still need to use an Open ID provider). So now all I have to remember is my domain name to login to Open ID enabled sites.
• DataPortability.org - Share and remix data using open standards - Continuing my research on OpenID, I realized I had no bookmark to this site.
• alertle - Alertle is a AJAX-y little news aggregator. It has a pretty cool interface and comes loaded with tons of feeds. The autoplay of stories is kind of cool if you like to just watch news flow past…
• tiinker :: My history - tiinker is a digg-like site that uses your personal feedback to texturize submitted articles for your personal tastes. It’s an interesting example of personalization through AI editorial assistance and user feedback. It’s like a Pandora for news, I guess.
• Brightness illusions to lottolab.org: understanding the ecological basis of complex systems - These are totally trippy optical illusions having to do with brightness and color.

• Annals of Crime: Friend Game: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker - A terribly sad article about hoaxes and suicides on social networking sites. This touches on several other sad stories I’ve read over the years (Miss Norway, A Rape in Cyberspace, etc.) To me, this represents just how signifcant the virtual life can be.
• etc3 Source - The source code for Erica T Carter’s digital poetry engine.
• A Companion to Digital Humanities - The entire anthology is available for free online. I haven’t read this yet, but it seems like it could be very interesting.
• Machinima from Second Life KLRU Event - This post features a video of the PBS event in Second Life at the virtual Austin City Limits. It was a well-attended event with a high quality audio stream sponsored by KLRU.
• About the Series | Situated Technologies - The About page for what sounds like an interesting series of pamphlets.
• Social Design Best Practices - OpenSocial - Google Code - An interesting list of things that social applications should do. This seems reasonable and useful.
• EPIC-FU - art+tech+music for geeks - A videoblog KThread recommended to me.

These are the bookmarks I created between February 5th, 2008 and February 6th, 2008:

• Second Life’s Must-Have Stuff - I think I should buy a spaceship in Second Life.
• How to Enter the Ghetto Matrix (DIY Bullet Time) - Instructables - DIY, How To, tech, art - The winner for best Instructable, Feb 2008.

• Satisfaction - People-Powered Customer Service - This is a cool new site that offers peer-driven customer service.
• FrontPage - IPython - I have used IPython for awhile now. I like it plenty. Just bookmarking for the records…
