Short links for October 23rd, 2007

Some interesting things I bookmarked on del.icio.us on October 23rd, 2007:

• Home-made helicopters hit northern Nigeria – Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi, a 24-year-old undergraduate from Nigeria, is building helicopters out of old car and bike parts.
• Looza in the mix – Non Stop Beat – 70 minutes with (partly jazzed-up) original funk and disco tracks from the GDR, Poland, the CSSR and the USSR.

• Bob Truby’s Brand Name Pencils – Bob is an art teacher and a pencil collector. Enter the incredibly diverse world of brand name pencils.
• The Do it Yourself Optimus Prime Halloween Costume – You still have a few days to build one…
• Invisible Bookshelf by Miron Lior – This floating bookshelf becomes invisible behind a stack of books. This larger version can hold books up to 10″ depth, with a 20lb maximum load. Powder-coated steel. Mounting hardware included.
• Charts And Graphs: Modern Solutions – Some nice Server-based solutions and Ajax- and JavaScript-frameworks.
• Fauxto – Online application similar to Photoshop, but free.
