If there was a tagging system here, this would most certainly get marked "good for nothing." But because TNF is a taste-agnostic zone, it's jammed right up against "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" with no differentiation given between the two. A simple premise: find photos of two "celebrities" that look alike, post them, comment. Some are brilliant. (Via yewknee.) (#)

I'll admit that I lose Rob Bryanton's "plain english" explanation of the 10 or 11 dimensions suggested in String Theory somewhere around dimension five, but I'm still intrigued. And he does a great job with the whole Möbius strip analogy. If you've done a lot of acid in your day, I'm betting this video will be especially enlightening. (Via Bobby.) (#)

I just did this last weekend. There are some pointers here I wish I'd had when I started, but I'm only linking it to it here because I'm flabbergasted that Sonos is trying to sell a device bundle that does just about the exact same thing for a cool grand. WTF, guys? One caveat: volume control sure would be nice. (#)

If you design on the web, there are a limited number of job titles you can whip out when asked what you "do." Cameron Adams has come up with a terrific little flow chart that pretty handily sums up how the conversation's gonna go. (#)

Nike continues their run of making transcendent commercials out of ho-hum songs. In this one, gymnast face-plants, Prefontaine, Lebron, some toddling kid, and a cancer-stricken Lance, all over top the best moment from The Killers' "All The Things That I've Done." Aside: There's gotta be a retrospective of the best of Nike's TV ads. Right? Well, I can't find any. If you have, leave a link to it in the comments. Bonus if it includes that one set to the Pixies' "Oh My Golly." (#)

I can imagine if things get any worse for PBS financially, this kind of show – a 90210 for Phi Beta Kappas – could actually happen. This promo would be far funnier if I didn't know people who were exactly this kind of snoody. David. Foster. Wallace. (Via Kottke.) (#)

The people over at Brand New seem only moderately excited about this rebrand, but I think it's terrific. The use of the u-to-n ligature to suggest the path of a bouncing ball is subtle enough to not hamper legibility but just noticeable enough to add interest. I know dryer sheets aren't exciting, and I may be slightly biased based on childhood memories of these things, but this is easily on my top five logos for 2008. (#)

Apparently, Mozilla recently approached Adaptive Path to develop a concept browser that, as the Aurora site states, "explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios." Watching this, my first thought is that I'd have a hard time learning all of these gestures, data/presentation relationships, etc. My second thought is that something like this will almost certainly be developed, and my kids will be far more skilled at using it than me.

40s dudes dancing the Charleston to Daft Punk's "Around the World." I'm not saying it's high humor, or even terribly original, but it is damn funny. (Via Jason.) (#)

I hate Comcast. A lot. It makes me happy, then, that they're getting called out for mucking with customers' internet connections. And now this: A tool from the Electronic Frontier Foundation that let's you monitor – and even collect evidence of – the illegal interference. (Via Machinist.) (#)

This is priceless. The folks over at boston.com used wordle.net to make some fun info graphics of word usage on McCain's blog and Obama's blog. The take home: Obama is by far the most used word on both blogs. I don't even see McCain's name on his own blog. Great marketing, boss. (Via Ryan.) (#)

A fascinating look at the boat conundrum from The Dark Knight through the lens of Game Theory. Honestly, that whole sequence was a weak spot in the film for me, and I think Michael Allen gives a bit too much credit to Nolan's Gothamites. Then again, I'm a sucker for this kind of beat-it-to-a-pulp close analysis. (Via Jeremy.) (#)

Oh, snap! Sam Ruby's Intertwingly is now a fully HTML 5 website. View source on that puppy. Not a <div> to be found – and a few tags I haven't seen before. <aside>, anyone? This one makes me wanna do a quick revamp of TNF, just to keep up. (Via Darren.) (#)

I dare say I've never seen anything like this, and I can almost guarantee you haven't either. David Friedman sets the stage for a recording of a spectacular installation piece by artist Robert Lepage – a site-specific movie edited for, and projected on, 81 giant grain silos. (#)

Yowsa! I love the new layout, the new search features, everything. Between this and the recent last.fm relaunch, I can't rightly say which I like better. It's a good summer for my favorite web services. (#)

Okay, so stick with me on this one. It's not possible to move an object with mass faster than the speed of light. But it might be possible to move space itself under a stationary object at the speed of light with the same net effect. Oh – did I mention this practice requires manipulation of the 11th dimension? Yeah. (Via Jason.) (#)

A jQuery add-on that lets you load any page in a lightboxed window. Admittedly, I wouldn't have paid much attention to Facebox if it wasn't for Andy Clarke's gorgeous Between Two Oceans travel site. It's simply the best standards-compliant flash-look-alike I've ever seen. (#)

Eric Meyer has put together a bare-bones proof-of-concept page for a proposed feature of HTML 5 that would allow any most elements to be given an href attribute. It's a neat concept, and if you haven't been convinced already, Eric's example page may sway you. (#)

I've read a lot about Django, but this is the first time its ease of use was driven home for me. I know it's an old article, I know I'm late to the game, and I doubt I'd ever use an MVC like Django with another language built on top of it – but I think this piece just convinced me to give Rails' python-based brother a shot. (#)

Can someone please find some eps files of this and print me up a copy? Kevin Fanning has written the definitive baby's guide to the internets, covered in wide-eyed animal cutesiness. (#)
