Short links for October 17th, 2007

Some interesting things I bookmarked on del.icio.us on October 17th, 2007:

• Atari 2600 Joystick Remote Control – Turn an old Atari 2600 joystick into a TV remote control.
• 15 Most Ill-Advised Career Reinventions in Rock Music History – The artists that do a good job of reinvention are allowed to hang around (like Radiohead and even Madonna, brief reign of terror as a rapper notwithstanding). But sometimes reinvention goes horribly, hilariously wrong, and none were worse than these.
• A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods – I love the dilemma diagram.
• mandolux – Pretty images for you desktop (also for dual screen setups) by Mando Gomez.
• The Talkbox FAQ – Make your own – Yes, you can make your own if you’re relatively handy with your hands. Only the most basic electrical knowledge is necessary and the parts are readily available if you have a hardware store nearby.
