Sunday Links: Things I Found That You Might Like
It was a beautiful fall day today. The only thing that would've made it more seasonally perfect is if there was apple pie and pumpkin beer in my fridge. Maybe tomorrow?
Links: Happy-making Vids
Staff at ad agency Double X spend a day drinking like the guys on Mad Men, in order to figure out how they get anything done:
(Watch here on Slate V if you can't see the embed.)
It's Weird Al Yankovic's 50th birthday! Have some ridiculousness:
("I Love Rocky Road" vid here on YouTube if you can't see the embed.)
Oh god this is awful:
(This old Yahoo! commercial is here on YouTube, if you can't see the embed.)
These are the last two people I would ever have expected to do an "It's A Wonderful World" duet, but the result is kind of fantastic:
(Watch Shane McGowan and Nick Cave here on YouTube if you can't see the embed.)
Piano-playing stairs in a subway! This does not do anything to diminish my desire to move to Sweden, or my view of Volkswagon as made of awesome.

Links: Things To Make & Do
I could totally make this raccoon Mario rug... but first I think I need a gaming room. [Craftster]
Cheap Healthy Good posted a really fantastic 42 Things To Do With Beans round-up. Beans are a great cold-fall-evening comfort food, plus they're dirt cheap.
It's one of my goals to eventually run a marathon. This book looks like it might be helpful on the way. [BoingBoing]
Make your own 20-sided die handbag! Pretty cool, no? [Evil Mad Scientist
Links: Science!
BBC brings you... a video of ten million bats! [On YouTube, but embedding is disabled]
My new favourite blogger, Meloukhia, has a great post about sexuality and our perception of default settings, and what it means to be a kid who isn't heteronormative. God she's great. [This Ain't Living]
Obviously, someone should've built this rocket ship ... or at least should've written the kid who designed it and told him he was awesome. [Letters Of Note]
WHAT HAPPENED, HIPPO? okay, this isn't really science, but it needed to be in this list somewhere! [Hey Okay]
Links: Misc. Neato and/or Silly
Possibly the douchie-est Hallowe'en costume I've ever seen.
Mark Jenkins' sleeping mannequin art installations are weeeeeeeird.
Amazing attorney trades keeping people off death row for teaching at-risk kids. This will make your heart grow ten sizes today. [NY Times]
You think your fandom is obscure: take a look at this. [BoingBoing]
I love this Banned Books window display. [BoingBoing]
Links: Stuff I Want
I want all these things, and I'd also like a personal library to put them in, please. [Apartment Therapy]
New Flight of the Conchords CD! More songs for me to sing accidentally at inappropriate times! (Seriously, I have caught myself humming "My Sugar Lumps" exactly when I shouldn't be.)
The Back-Knobber: a girl's best friend, Y/Y? [Frugal Zeitgeist]
I need these Rosie The Riveter bookends, like, yesterday. [Can be bought via Neatorama.]
This magnetic spice rack is brilliant, and I think I will buy one. [Yanko Design]
Links: Fannish Misc.
A couple of comic book stores have declared it Wonder Woman Day today, and I am totally way too late to the party on telling you. But I guess we can mark it in our calendars for next year?
I feel like I know this guy with the lightsabers.
This is the best freaking kids' costume I've seen. I'm not sure how much the dog liked it, though.
Joss Whedon to direct an episode of Glee! Post from Whedonesque, and Joss confirms in comments. Awesome! May the redeeming begin! (because whoa, am I done with Dollhouse.)
Imma just going to put this here:
Recs next!
