The Linkdown for Thursday, Dec. 4
The holidays are almost upon us. Peep these links before things get too crazy and you don’t have time:
- See the Dell Design Studio in action, on video.
- PBS KIDS Island has been awarded an Editor’s Choice Award by the Children’s Technology Review. Congrats to the Island.
- First Lego League is holding qualifying tournaments this weekend. GO LEGO CHAMPS!
- A computer keyboard that you can wash? That’s just CRAZY!
- Texas has the 19th-fastest Internet service in the nation, according to PC Magazine.
- Explore Local Austin helps you figure out which local merchants you should patronize this holiday season.
- Got heart-related questions? Why not ask a heart doctor?
- Are your eyes tired? Gunnar Optiks has pricey glasses that will make you look like one of those cool Eastern European super spies, circa 1986. They look Wonderbar and are said to help if you sit in front of a screen all day.
- One of our previous Masters of their Domains subjects, Andrew Butler of Hill Country Rambling, reports that his site is receiving about 2.5 million hits a month and has expanded to coverage of San Antonio and more of Austin. He’s also covering sporting athletic events now.
- It’s not quite as impressive as OfficeMax’s Elf Yourself, but digital picture frame company Ceiva offers a chance to have your picture and name appear, as if by magic, in a video at sitonstantaslap.com — you can embed a picture of yourself and your name in the video on this site. I had the video of me posted below, but it was set to automatically play every time this blog page loaded and got really annoying, so I removed it. Dear Ceiva: please don’t make your dumb video do autoplay in the embed code. kthxbai!
