merrilyDudes! How are you? I haven't made a linkspam post in, um, maybe a year, but I am putting off studying for a standardized test that shall not be named, so: tada.
Links: Happy-making Vids
Just in case you haven't seen this yet, have a video where a brilliant person arranged the BBC Sherlock for violin. (Also, ze created sheet music, in case you want to learn it, too.)
Festivids is up! And I haven't had time to do more than make a very quick cursory pass, but how could I resist a mashup of Maru clips set to U2? Outside of the Box by anon
Okay, this is awesome: world's largest model railway now open in Hamburg
How To Be A Sunflower: a Hallowe'en make-up tutorial from a five year old. Okay, so it's about four months late. Still! Cuteness is never out of season.
semielliptical put together this great rec list of vids about dancing. It will cheer you right up, I swear.

Ever wish that your house was a little more, say, spherical? Here are plans to remedy that problem! Lollipop houses for all!
Next year, why not give someone you love a snowglobe with a teeny 3D model of their house?
Make glowing sugar candy! WITH SCIENCE! and also vitamin B and some UV lights.
If you're not into glowing sugar candy, perhaps you might enjoy making these chibi Star Trek sugar cookies, instead?
An incredible gift for a small person: My Star Trek Quiet Book, a felt cloth-book project that's TNG-themed. Brilliant.
Links: Science!
Hai there, linguists! (all one of you) Here is a pretty awesome video about LOLspeak as language play.
This German bicycle has a USB port to charge your iPhone/iPad/iPod/whatever while you cycle. So much more useful to me than a bike that powers its own lights!
LIGHTNING VOLCANO. National Geographic, sometimes I think you employ wizards.
Incredible papercraft/marionette short film about what happens when a whale dies and its body decomposes. I kid you not, this is gorgeous. There is nothing icky about it. Could be shown to small children.
Here is an interesting BoingBoing article about treating Crohn's Disease and IBS with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet [link]. I think there's a lot to be said for trying to solve digestive problems with diet, instead of medication.
Links: Misc. Neato and/or Silly
Heathens make the best employees.
I think we can agree that pin-up poses and the stances female figures take in sf cover art are generally ridiculous. To illustrate that point, have some dudes re-enacting said poses: Men-Ups! [a Flickr set] and Jim Hines looking sultry.
A List of Don'ts For Women On Bicycles Circa 1895 Reading this list made me desperate to know what "bicycle face" is. Anyone? Post pics in comments.
Tumblog of brilliance: Kim Jong-Il Looking At Things.
Sex with bees: bad idea or worst idea? This is the kind of magic that happens in Canadian literature, reader. One poor grad student reports back.
Links: Stuff I Want
Dear god, but this TARDIS purse, made in polyleather is incredible. Also, sold. >:-(
This defibrillator toaster is amazing. Also, sadly not functional. But still amazing!
This supercute lego luggage tag is supposed to be available in the BoingBoing shop, but I can't make the shop part of their website load. Man, I'm 0 for 3 so far in this section. Universe! I need things!
Sales of this hunky male librarian calendar benefit the It Gets Better Project. They also benefit my pants.
Given that it's January, and I don't drink any cold drinks, these ice cube molds in the shape of penguins on an iceberg aren't all that practical. But I looooooove them.

Stormtrooper action figure theatre! [Flickr set with many photos at link]
The Blog of Dr. John Watson, that is, the thing that the Beeb is updating as the show goes on. BBC Art Department, you are my precious.
You guys have all already seen Spocktopus right? No?
And that's been this edition of Sunday Links & Recs! For fic, mosey over to my Pinboard account. Right now, I am mostly reading and bookmarking BBC Sherlock, with brief forays into The Avengers, Inception, and Merlin.

Date: 2012-01-23 05:23 am (UTC)I had a really random craving for MWPP fic when I saw some of your Pinboard tags, and was sad to see so many dead links :/ This is by no means a complaint directed to you, it's more of a *shakes fist at the universe* kind of thing—there was so much great HP fic that is now gone. Damn. *tear*
