MMM: Dakar 2011 Pics
From the Boston Globe Big Picture, make sure you click through to the rest. Sadly the Big Picture editor has left for The Atlantic, hopefully the Globe will get some equally talented to pick up where he left off, and we’ll have two feeds of fab photos!
MMM: Lexus Carbon Fibre Loom
You may have seen this before, Lexus pulled it some time ago and just re-released it.
I love it when something that looks like sci-fi is actually real. :)

Links for 20/01/2011
- Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year – Some brilliant shots here from 2006-9
- Mammoth ‘could be reborn in four years’
- How all those pastries are made – Excellent YouTube vid of a chap knocking together all those pastries you love.
- Sarkozy takes aim at Ireland’s corporate tax rate – It’s not aid if you’re taking a profit on it, you dickhead, it’s a loan.
- Microplane Tools at Home in the Kitchen – From printer parts to woodworking tools to kitchen tools, because they made stuff sharp unintentionally!
New York Times Emphasis
The developers at NYTimes.com have come up with a fab way of allowing people to link to specific paragraphs in articles, and highlight sentences. Here’s a link to the instructions, for example. At the moment I’d guess it’s only nerds like me that’d use something like this, hopefully it’ll become a common design pattern.
NSFW: Elephant Birth
Usually I’d share the elephant videos with the elephant-obsessed wifelet privately, but these are brilliant. If you’re at work, or just squeamish, you probably don’t want to load the first one, although you could load the second, it’s cute. The birth is incredible though, I actually cheered along and applauded. :)

BBC America Law & Order UK Sting
Could easily’ve been made by a b3tan! Spot the 2010 meme…
MMM: 42l V12 Packard Bentley
It was a Bentley 8 Litre, now it’s a Bentley Packard 42 Litre. 1500hp at 2400rpm, 160mph. I use the word a lot, but I think it’s justified: Terrifying.
