100217 links

I am trying out Google’s browser (Chrome) on my home computer – Over all I like it but it does not allow me to seamlessly integrate my Delicious account into it like Firefox does (this is because Delicious is a Yahoo service). So… I am going to try to start archiving interesting links in my blog. Here are the first two:

Them Things > Amazing (and I mean really amazing) collection of images
