Stuff I’ve been sharing on Facebook lately:

SnapSort, a photo camera comparison service. The Panasonic LX3 seems to win against every pocketable camera in its price range, but it’s a shame the site’s criteria isn’t more transparent. And I’d love to be able to do a reverse lookup, for instance, to list cameras sorted by low light performance.

360 degree views of airplane cockpits. That’s a lotta buttons.

In B-flat, a YouTube video orchestra.

The Sixty One, an alternative music internet radio. It seems many users are unhappy with a recent redesign, but having discovered this last week, I just love it. And the idea of completing ‘listening quests’ so your music recommendations have higher reputation may sound ridiculous — and it probably is — but I just can’t resist literally playing along.

Next time people ask me about my pay as teacher, I’ll send them a link to this video.

Andrew of The Null Device wrote about the intelligent dogs of Moscow that have learned to use the city’s subway system, as apparently London’s pigeons do too. Apropos of that, a blog dedicated to interspecies friendship (‘friendship’ meaning: not in the process of killing each other while photographed/videotaped).

Another great blog discovery is Unhappy Hipsters. It’s just cynical captions appended to images from some interior design magazine, but still.

A trailer for Oliver Stone’s Wall Street 2. I was shocked to find out about this, but soundtrack notwithstanding, the trailer got me interested. I can’t think of a sequel, by the same director and with the same lead, done this many years after the first movie.

Again via The Null Device, a news report on news reporting. Priceless. By professional defect, I sometimes catch myself looking at the utter dullness of TV news reports. Here in Portugal, newsmen love their shots of buildings’ signage — no piece about the economy is complete without three or four ugly shots of some sliding door with the words “Ministry of Finance” in it. And loads of shots of people’s lower bodies walking a busy street. An international classic.

The Oatmeal’s How to suck at Facebook. I think I’ve met every single type of user described in the comic.
