These are my delicious links for January 11th:

• Moral Victory Playoff Chart – So pretty much every key victory in the Crimson Tide's undefeated run through the 2009 season was followed by an opposing fanbase crying foul and insisting that their team really deserved to win. Sadly though, victories are still awarded to the team with the most points on the scoreboard when time expires.

These are my delicious links for January 4th through January 6th:

• Parkour Flip Book. – Oh My God. That's amazing. Just stunning. Utterly fantastic.
• Bridge House – Designed by Max Pritchard
• FARK Headlines of the Year – I didn't expect this. The Top 20 headliens of 2009 from FARK are way brilliant. If newspapers had the balls to have headlines like this I'd buy way more newspapers.
• Greatest.Lego.Set.Ever. – GOD I WANT THIS. The Lego Millennium Falcon is nearly 3 feet long; it costs $499 and it is made of over 5,000 pieces! The Millennium Falcon has been listed as the biggest Lego set ever sold.

These are my delicious links for January 4th:

• Optimizing HTML – Great writeup on why you should optimize your HTML.
• UsabilityPost Forum – Good usability resource.
• Nic Cage as Everyone – heh. Who knew his talents were so vast?
• 10 Sci-Fi Weapons That Actually Exist – These are amazing. But I don't understand why there isn't a jetpack… A Jetpack would be an awesome weapon.

These are my delicious links for December 31st:

• Star Trek: The Original Series Wetsuit (7MM) – This is genius. I want this wetsuit.

These are my delicious links for November 19th:

• The Official Rules of Shotgun. – I really needed this in college. We had complex rules we evolved over time, which lead to some nasty disputes. This would have solved it. (well, the interet itself in it's current state would have solved much when I was in college.)
• A good photo-bomb is something special. It takes dedication, timing and an impeccable sense of what is truly messed up. Or you can get lucky. Either way they amuse the crap out of me. – http://thisisphotobomb.com/

These are my delicious links for November 1st:

• Night Battle – Photos from a recent Russian Army War Games.
• Top Reverse Photo Bombs – A photo bomb is "Any time the background of a picture hijacks the original focus."
• Crown of the Wire – The purpose of this blog is to do the impossible: determine the "best" character on the Wire. We have set up an NCAA tournament-style bracket (found here) with 65 Wire characters divided into 2 regions: the Law and the Street. It _should_ end up with the finals being McNulty vs. Omar.

These are my delicious links for July 29th through July 31st:

• Feral Homes – James Griffioen has a haunting collection of photos of homes and buildings being overtaken by vegetation in Detroit. I can't imagine walking the streets with these buildings, must be surreal.
• Photos of Chicago from the top of a Crane. – Ken Derry, crane operator for McHugh, has taken some amazing pictures of the Trump Tower during its construction.
• 202 Star Wars T-Shirts – A grand list of 202 Star Wars Shirts. Not ranked, just a missive listing.
• I'm pretty sure I stopped growing up in my teens and have been faking ever since. – One of the best XKCD's I've seen in a while.

These are my delicious links for July 13th through July 15th:

• 101 Muppets of Sesame Street – A giant illustration of 101 Muppets. Mouse over them to learn more about some of the lesser-known ones. Done in celebration of their 40th anniversary.
• Ways to trick your brain. –
• light-test.com – When a Photographer wants to test the lighting, often an assistant will step in. These are those shots.
• Digg digs into IE6 usage. – Basically, IE6 users are forced to use IE6 at work. Giving them a message saying, “Hey! Upgrade!” in this case is not only pointless; it’s sadistic.

These are my delicious links for June 30th:

• Get the Hint Stickies – Fantastic sticky notes. Helpful packs of themed adhesive notes, with 5 different pads in each pack.

These are my delicious links for June 27th:

• Sex Issue: Type Tart Cards – Tart cards are the means by which many London prostitutes advertise their services. Step into almost any central London phone box and you can contemplate up to 80 cards inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged.

  n conjunction with St Bride Library and Type, we asked designers – from students to superstars – to find the tart hiding in every type and create their own graphic numbers. Along with a selection in the magazine, all 450 cards can be viewed here.
