One link to rule them all: the annual best links of the year 2008 edition from Jason Kottke. Even though his site is a must in my daily webroutine, I have missed a few of these precious findings, here’s one of them: Chicago’s The Wiener Circle, a restaurant where name-calling, racial slurs and sexually charged verbal hate are celebrated “much to the delight of the patrons, the heavily tipped workers, and the owners.” Get ready to kill a few hours of productivity. •
Safe Trip Home is the name of both Dido’s third album and the accompanying website. The tagline reads “Create a journey through film and music”, with the possibility of responding to the 6 music videos, all filmed in different countries, portraying a day in the life of a single character. It’s well done, and it all ties nicely with the music (or vice-versa). •
