Friday Fun

July 11th, 2008 at 15:41 by Tamlyn Rhodes

Interesting, funny and weird links for a Friday afternoon.

Wordle word cloud

Wordle creates cool ‘tag cloud’ type images using any text, web page, or RSS feed you provide it. Here’s one made from Tommo’s Traffic Management blogs (click to enlarge).

Bill Gates’ rant about Windows usability is not only entertaining to read but also highly satisfying. “Yes, yes, me too! So it isn’t just me who can’t use the damn thing.”

Instant Origami is “the contemporary interpretation of the traditional Japanese paper folding technique focusing on speed and imagination rather than on the technically brilliant execution.” Instant Origami is funny.

How do you eat your Cadburys Cream Egg? Well, personally I don’t (I think I’d rather eat a raw egg) but this video is just incredible.

And finally, Google launched a network of virtual worlds called Lively. I really don’t understand where they’re going with this. And if you can get it working you’re better than me.
