Shhuuuuunnnuh

Film Cow - the website of the chap who created Charlie the Unicorn, which I first saw when I was at university.

He basically makes surreal, funny, dark animations. Often these feature cute animals doing horrific things, frinstance check out Detective Mittens, and Llamas with Hats. Or you know, just watch all of his stuff. Why not, you aren't busy.

Yeah

BB guns are not for libraries. Sake.

In other news, remember weebls-stuff? I used to be on it all the time, but haven't looked in ages. There are now 18 episodes of On the Moon and 19 Catfaces.

This got me thinking, and sure enough David Firth has made another Burnt Face Man since last I looked - here.

Huurgh

Currently I am not very well, for the third week in a row. No human person should be so full of mucus, it's most unbecoming. It also detracts one's enthusiasm for writing, so I thought in the interim I might post interesting links so you can read the writing of other people instead.

Today, then, Neil Gaiman's blog. He's a hell of a name dropper, but then he does drop the names of some pretty cool people. The site is of interest to anyone who likes the work of Mr Gaiman himself of course, but also to anyone who has an interest in beekeeping, or Amanda Palmer. And he is quite good at flagging up random people and articles of interest too.

Beat Blog

You can follow the Guardian Edinburgh beatblog on Twitter now, but the main site hasn't gone live yet. Leeds and Cardiff are up and running though, so I assume it will be around the start of next week for our one.

LOLZ


Sign at the newly refurbished Nicol Edwards. It's not called that anymore actually, it is The Banshee Labyrinth. But there are signs outside with both names on, which is verging on confusing. Still, good sign work.

Do Not Cross


Home made police tape, part of my Crime in the City display at work. The other pillar is wrapped in strips of paper with coloured fingerprints. Like you might find at a crime scene, yeah? Yeah. I'm cool.

Aaron A Aaronson


This copy of the yellow pages has been on top of one of the bus stops on my route to work for several months now. Will anyone ever remove it? I think not. It is like some kind of tenuous visual metaphor for these troubled times.
