MASSIVE Holiday Linkdump

• Floorplan of my apartment.
• Slightly more DC Metrorail links than you can shake a farecard at. I especially enjoyed the Great Metro Adventure. And remember: it's right to Stand Right.
• Suburban Christianity. (via TECS.)
• Remember the "Bible Wines" discussion? An archived Razormouth piece, "I Saw The Lite," addresses the milder mixes of ancient times against the issue of prohibaptitionist abstentionism. I argued this with my girlfriend's housemate (born a Pennsylvanian Episcopalian) at one point: I on the wine side, she on the juice side. I'm still wondering how this would affect a church with an active ministry for recovering alcoholics. More on Pennsylvania and wine from Garver.
• Web History.
• Knowing firsthand from art school that most web artists use Dreamweaver rather than hand-coding, and knowing that tables for layout is stupid, I now direct you to Tableless Layout with Dreamweaver.
• Currently loving the work at Veer. I must remember to add Veer: Ideas to my design links.
• The International Heroes Catalog has quite an extensive Filipino heroes section (heh, heh), but the Panday section lacks FPJ pictures.
• Weng Weng.
• Whatever happened to this: Honasan Running for President? Eh?
• Before you go taking The Matrix Timeline too seriously, read some comics: The Matrix Reheated and MonkeyMan Revolutions.
• Retro-goodness for your Palm handheld: Frodo C64 emulator and Karateka. I've been playing the Karateka demo on the Metro, and it brings back memories.
• Via Zeldman's shortstack, a few amusing appendices to the speciously infamous antibiblical Dr. Laura Letter. Young Russ has analysis and errata.
• Survival Guide to Office Dumping.
• Official website of North Korea. Perhaps the Great Leader should move his blog off Livejournal already.
• Ban The Ban.
• Krugman likens Bush to Ferdinand Marcos. (via Cornfield Commentary.)
• Baltimore Shot Tower.
• Inventors of Photography: Daguerre and Niepce. (Got interested after seeing daguerrotypes at the Met.)
• Amazing portraits by Costa Vavagiakis, who was my girlfriend's painting instructor for a summer at the Art Students League.
• "Well, I'm sure they'll be able to fix it. You can't stop modern science. Can't stop it, you can't stop it. Can't stop science. Can't be stopped, no way, no how, science just marches..."
