Here are this week’s links:

  • Optimus keyboard: A sweet new keyboard that changes depending on what you need it to do. Make sure to look at all of the pictures.

  • Good and Bad Procrastination: An interesting article about procrastination. “There are three variants of procrastination, depending on what you do instead of working on something: you could work on (a) nothing, (b) something less important, or (c) something more important. That last type, I’d argue, is good procrastination.”

  • Two-headed snake for sale: For a mere $150,000 you can get your hands on the world’s only two-headed snake owned by the World Aquarium in St. Louis. Picture included.

  • The Rio-Antirio Bridge: Innagurated in August 2004, the Rio-Antirio is the world’s largest, cable-stayed suspension deck bridge, which connects Rion and Antirion on the western mainland of Greece, thus connecting it with the rest of Europe. It is really quite beautiful at night.

  • iTunes Signature Maker: From the website: “People often ask me what music I listen to, and I find it difficult to describe my enormous music collection in just a few sentences. So I created iTSM.. iTSM selects a small number of your “favorite” tracks based on some simple selection criteria… Then it analyzes the audio content of these files, combining a small bit of each of them to create the signature.” I made a few of them the other day, and they’re pretty sweet.

  • geez: A new magazine that “that serves a politically-charged readership at the fringes of faith.” I don’t have a subscription, but I’d sure love to. Maclean’s recently ran an article about the magazine that gives a pretty good overview.

  • Triskaidekaphobia: And the origins of a fear of the number 13 and Friday the 13th.
