Windmill Friday Feeling

Greetings millers, and welcome to another fantabulous edition of the Windmill Friday Feeling - all the links you can handle and then some.

First up, the dark and strange world of bizarre Amazon products. The items themselves are odd enough, but it’s the reviews that make it for us. The baby AIDS bib! The framed print of a uterine fibroid! The 20 inch canvas Paul Ross! You know the one - Paul Ross!  That…guy! And don’t forget the canvas of Paul Ross speaking in mid-sentence! A canvas of a man biting into a hamburger! Photographic print of a woman rejecting a plate of food! (’A study in post-modern angst’ according to one reviewer.) And from our American cousins we have the ultra-safe steering wheel laptop desk! (Check the product images…) Or the horse head mask!

Best stop now before I go completely insane.

Back in the real(ish) world, here’s a great article from Slate about one contemporary reviewer’s hatchet job on John Keats’ Endymion, and what we can learn from it when it comes to reading and writing reviews today.

Beautiful and mysterious paper sculptures have been turning up around Edinburgh - what could this be about I wonder?

Want to make your own website look pretty? Here’s a hand guide called Don’t Fear the Internet, which will tell you about WordPress CMS, html, and much else.

And finally, Burgerac, a blog devoted entirely to finding the best burgers in town. It’s like they have seen INTO MY VERY SOUL. Happy weekends all!
