I was on Boing Boing today. Which makes me a good 3.26 times cooler than, say, you.

I’m really tired, and I just finished a big freelance article, so I’m not really interested in writing anything big today, even though I really want to write about the Super Bowl commercials. Let’s do a link roundup!

Link Roundup! Pre-Valentine’s Day Edition

Woot.com – I think this is the best business model I’ve ever seen. These guys only sell one item per day, and they sell ‘em cheap. Sometimes they’re junk, but a surprisingly high percentage of the time they sell great stuff. Also, they must have a lit major on staff or something, because they do a great job of blogging about what they sell and keeping up with their community. Very impressed so far with the way they run things.

Toothpaste for Dinner – I’m visiting so many webcomics nowadays that I’ve got a whole bookmarks folder set off just for them. This one was shown to me by my co-worker, and while it’s definitely not the most colorful of the bunch (ha– because all of them are B&W), it’s one of the most consistently interesting ones. Watch it for a few days, and you’ll see what I mean.

DS Fanboy – Although I don’t really like the Weblogs, Inc. galaxy of blogs (because I applied for a job with them and they didn’t even get back to me), DS Fanboy is creeping back into my daily browser views, simply because they’re the only place on the Internet that really focuses on how neat the DS has become. I was an early scoffer at Nintendo’s bulky little toy (although, at $240, I’m hardly going to get a PSP), but since I got convinced it was cool by a friend, I’m totally into it. I admit. I’m a DS Fanboy, so this blog is perfect for me.

Digg – You know what this is. Why am I even including it here? Oh yeah, because I’m checking it like every five minutes while browsing. Even though people digg the most idiotic stuff.

Curt’s Comments – I found out about Curt Hibbs during my (very) short stay on the Ruby mailing list when I was trying to learn that beautiful language. He’s not just a great Ruby programmer, though, he’s actually an insightful and practical guy, and for some reason, his blog (mostly about Ruby and Rails and why they’re so neat– which I have to agree with) has snuck up into my blogs bookmarks, right next to all the old standbys (Defamer, McSweeney’s, Tiger Be– I mean CNN). Anyway, nice blog. And he’s from St. Louis! Represent the MO!

Urban Dead – I like this game a lot. Even though I stopped playing it a while ago for no specific reason. But that in no way depletes my opinion of it. Nor should it yours. Play it! Be a zombie! Be a human! But if you are a human, make sure you’re the soldier class. The game’s kind of unbalanced still. But good! I swear!
