Link Log - 19th Feb 06

In a break from my usual blogging style I've decided I've seen so much cool stuff in the past few days I just have to do a link log. So in no particular order...

• Urban Extreme Gymnastics - and you thought gymnastics was for girls or men in pink leotards. I wouldn't say that to these guys.
• XGL on Ubuntu HOWTO - amazing interfaces, courtesy of OpenGL (ala Mac OS X) make their way to Linux, thanks to Novell. And Ubuntu are early adopters.
• Contrary to a previous blog of mine, I'm coming to the conclusion that vlogging, video podcasts or whatever are actually pretty cool. Though I did notice most of the geeky ones are fronted by attractive young ladies... MobuzzTV, GeekBrief.TV and Diggnation.
• And if you're an Apple fan, check out macTV. Loads of cool old Apple ads and product introductions (the original iPod, Newton, etc) and some fun media references.

I'm sure there's stuff I've forgotten. But hey, I've got gigabytes of server space to fill yet. You lucky people.

UPDATED: I had to add this one too, it's amazing how a trailer can completely change the tone of a film. Shining.

And, I thought this was CGI, but it's not.
