My desktop and laptop are cluttered with a LOT of links. Thanks to Firefox's Sync, I can get them all together into one computer and then present them to you! :D (For those following me on Twitter, you have likely seen all of these at some point or another.)

- Sci-Fi Ikea Manuals. The final one is my favorite, but I like how they incorporated that little Ikea guy into everything. :)
- The Commodore 64 is making a comeback again! Last time I heard about it, all they were doing was selling overpriced, uberpowered systems with the C= sign on the side, but now someone else has the license, and they're making a chassis that looks like the original Commodore 64 but houses a decent PC inside it. I kinda want the chassis on its own. But then again, I also have a C64C (the all-beige one, third picture down) that still works, with a bunch of disks that I really should get around to setting up on the bigscreen TV...
- A cute comic called Hobbes and Bacon, what Calvin would be like when he's older and has a kid of his own.
- If you've ever wanted to know what trees you're looking at, there's an iPhone app that lets you know what the tree is by taking a picture of its leaf. It's a great idea (but really small at the moment) but it's like Google Goggles for Trees. :)
- "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro now has a Cafe in Times Square. Now I'd really like to go back to New York, just so that I can sample Buddy's Lobster Tails :D
- The BBC spends almost a quarter of a million pounds annually on teabags, and a paltry £2,000 on biscuits. I see where their priorities lie. ;)
- Animatronic Wonders of John Nolan. This guy apparently worked on Hellboy II, and probably several other prominent films and commercials. Some of the work is downright creepy without the "skin" but they almost look creepier with the skins too. But I like those giant hands, I've always liked that and wanted it in a cosplay sense but I never could afford something like that. :P
- 258-Square-Ft Transforming Apartment. I doubt I could live in a space like this, but it is a brilliant usage of space. Everything's hidden away until you need it. They said their inspiration was from a ship, but I think it was from a starship - Starship Titanic, specifically. That was a great puzzle - it's too bad that no other games came from The Digital Village.

And, with that, I feel a great relief lifted from my shoulders, and likely a great deal of memory lifted from Firefox. ^^
