Friday Funday CCIX

Friday Funday brings you some fun and interesting links from my travels around the internet. Funday links will open in a new window.

Font Conference [del.icio.us]
I'm a big font-loving dork, and some of the jokes in here are pretty funny, but seriously? Comic Sans is the hero?

Shming Swimming [del.icio.us]
Supposedly, this is a video of Shming the hedgehog swimming, but it looks more like Shming the hedgehog trying not to drown. Still, it's pretty cute.

Pencil Rebel [del.icio.us]
Here's a fast-n-easy point-n-click adventure with some neat graphics and an odd ending.

The Periodic Table of Videos [del.icio.us]
Continuing the huge dork theme, here's a channel on YouTube from the University of Nottingham featuring videos about each of the different periodic elements.

Le Ballon [del.icio.us]
Un vidéo très belle de un ballon rouge. I wouldn't be a huge dork without pointing out that helium, while normally less dense than "air," becomes more dense than "air" when it gets cold enough (have you ever taken a balloon outside in the winter? It's kind of sad). So there's no way the balloon would have made even halfway as far as it did.
