Wow, that's cool. Using Flash to edit the outlines of letters. You can move points, change curves, click "degenerate" over and over and over and over, or um... not. [from The Skinny Archive]

You see the name Carl Stalling at the beginning of (just about) every Looney Toons short, it's familiar, but you can't place it. Well, an article from Slate dishes out the info on the man who composed the score for 600 Warner Brothers cartoons; he actually started out composing for Walt Disney.

Now that's cool.
There are billions of books sitting on shelves around the world, and Lotfi Belkhir wants a crack at scanning them, page by page. Belkhir, a one-time Xerox Corp. researcher, has invented a machine he says can do just that, automatically scanning books at a pace of 1,200 bound pages per hour, handling even rare volumes gently.

Hate the way you print? Or write in cursive? Help's on the way: Handwriting Worksheets (PDFs), practice movements (beware the Java), and Basic Handwriting for Kids. Good stuff in there. [links from YH! thread]

Do you get the flavorpill newsletters? I only started getting them a couple of months ago; they're packed to the gills with quality concerts (shows), readings, movies (not necessarily what you'll find @ moviefone, either), all sorts of good stuff. The rotating mastheads are wonderful, this one from mid-October is a favourite.

IBM has been working on "ReMail," a prototypical email client of the future. It appears to be an overhaul of the typical PIM client. This is an interesting move into integrating things such as chat into an email client, especially as Apple moves to seperate the address book, calendar, email, and chat applications (as opposed to Big Blue and Microsoft, who integrate them into one).

Phineas's photos are always interesting/lovely/etc. (e.g. fog from Navy Pier), but you gotta love the dead flies. I keep waiting for one of the wings to twitch, or something. Bzzt.
