Friday Links: Now on Thursday

We’ve had a pile of links piling up on us here at Inside the Nerdery. Since tomorrow promises to bring some nerdtastic Halloween fun on the blog, we decided to free the links a day early.

• Top 10 Internet rules and laws from Godwin to Poe (Godwin’s law is one of my favorites).
• E-mail turns 40 today.
• Ventriloquist Dummy Choir Sings ‘Yesterday’. Yes, it is exactly what it says it is.
• An animated version of xkcd loves the Discovery Channel.
• When geeks have twins
• Pick up lines for graphic designers.
• Contrariwise (the literary tattoo blog) has a nice collection of Where the Wild Things Are.
• Handcrafted marketing helped make “Where the Wild Things Are” Number 1.
• Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, and the Computer.
• 12 of the best looking hard drives.
• This stop motion animation of The Flintstones is pretty rad even if it features Fred fantasizing about some hussy that isn’t Wilma.
• If you need a little happy on a cold, rainy Friday, watch Improv Everywhere’s Grocery Store Musical
• Giant crocheted raccoon Mario rug.
