Some bookmarks as I haven't done this for ages and I need to test some automation.

The careful arrangement of strings, bells, lenses and mirrors I employ to wake me at the appointed time definitely did not work this morning. However, it's a sunny day so here's some bookmarks.
Data modelling with MongoDB (general topic as I've been busy with re-writing bits of Xizi just recently):
http://mongolab.org/topic/?data
Warren Ellis has a new, epic looking graphic novel out (shortly), TREES:
http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=15103
Some Kickstarters of note that I've backed recently:
TimeWatch - Gumshoe and Time Travel RPG thingummy that did ridiculously well:
Project: Dark - A stealth-based tabletop RPG that sounds amazing and that also smashed its funding goal:
Hello Ruby - A delightful, almost perfect children's book that teaches kids the basics of programming. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Coffee, Cake and Kisses - Fundraising for the new iteration of the Coffee, Cake and Kink space. Not totally sure about the new name but I understand why they've had to do it; their heart is in the right place and I hope they make it:
Also: I've been listening to The Black Keys entire discography for about 5 days now. It helps.
END OF LINE.

Ello. Not done one of these in a while. Here's the shit.
Incredible illustrations, in a very old style. http://danielmartindiaz.com
The one that caught my eye was this one, "Binary Predator" -
which can be found in an animated form in Warren Ellis's introduction to his short story "Lich House" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYScwq3EOD0
You should check out TRSST - a secure micro blogging system that recently hit its funding target on Kickstarter.

This is both terrifying and gorgeous. Poet CJ Allen - "Explaining the Plot of Blade Runner to my Mother who has Alzheimer's".
