The Occasional Solipsist

Thought I'd post some random links I'm coming across tonight, mostly of the 'year end' variety.

It could be that I'm just trying to pad my blog stats before the end of the year. Look for further posts this week on Shoe Tying, Putting on Pants, and Things I Read in the John.

The Silver Surfer in the trailer for the F4 sequel - If he looks this cool in the movie, could he redeem the franchise from the crapper it currently resides in thanks to the first film?
Shatner does the end scene from Se7en - Shatner as T.J. Hooker, Kirk, and the host of Rescue 911, all at the same time. Very funny.
Vote for the TV.com Best Shows of 2006 - How else are we going to save quality television like 'Show Me The Money'? Oops, too late.
Free ebook: 365 Days of Skywatching - I don't have the time or the ability (damn you light pollution!) to view the sky much anymore, but this might come in handy when Trin starts asking questions. Did I mention that its free?
NASA's top exploration and discovery stories of the year - Required reading for anyone who's ever wanted to do more with their towel than just dry off.
Kaleidoscopic Illusion - I like the fact that the author spelled 'rotating' with 2 a's almost as much as I enjoyed the illusion.
Paul Simon video for Call Me Al with Chevy Chase - I have always found this so funny. Can't really say why after watching it again.
History of the Very First Web Page - This is only going to be cool to online nerds. Old ones. Like me.
Finally, that car from Back to the Future is here - No, not the flying part. The part where it ran on garbage for fuel. You know what I mean.
Gmail to add a POP3 mail fetcher - This is teh coolest feature yet. I have been using forwarding to access my pop accounts for awhile, but that's nowhere near as useful.
10 myths (and 10 Truths) About Atheism - I used to think I was pretty good at speaking to the irrationality of religious faith until this guy came along and showed me how it's done.
Three cheers for Toxoplasma gondii - If things don't work out with Superwife, I am moving to Australia. I'll have a better chance of hooking up, and be smarter than the local men (until I get infected).
Raistlin gets his own comic! - For those who get the name of this blog, I was ECSTATIC to find out that there is a Dragonlance comic series being produced by Devil's Due Publishing. I'll be at my local shop tomorrow to pick up the entire series.
