Hot glue from space: Think. What are two things popular with people who have a lot of time on their hands? If you guessed Star Wars and crafts, you’d be right. And what’s more, the two have been combined. The Star Wars Crafts Livejournal community is the place for cutesy hand-embroidered Jedi pillowcases, Sith-O-Lanterns, X-Wing pilot teddy bears and utterly creepy Chewbacca Kleenex-box covers. It’s more than glued-macaroni Death Stars at community.livejournal.com/starwarscrafts/.
Sweet regret: Nerds love flowcharts. They combine empirical data with an easy-to-follow how-to. This flowchart from the fount of wisdom that is warpedvisions.org explains how to quickly determine if a Web site sucks. Broken down into categories like Newb Ego Blogger and Web 2.0 Fluff, they mostly do. Too bad I didn’t have this nine years ago at warpedvisions.org/projects/how-to-tell-if-a-web-page-sucks/.
