Windmill’s Friday Feeling

There’s a chill in the air, the leaves and turning, so don your favourite pair of fingerless gloves and join us for another edition of the Windmill Friday Feeling.

Will Self’s writing room has been on the blog before, and today I read his amazing piece The Trouble With my Blood. Beautiful and not a little discomfiting.

As the half life between ‘Thing’ and ‘Ironic tumblr about Thing’ decreases yet more, we have Sh*t That Siri Says, dedicated to people trying to trick the robot inside the iPhone 4S. (One day soon there will be ironic tumblr blogs about things that don’t even exist yet, at which point I will give up on the internet forever and live in a cave. Probably. Until I get bored.)

The peerless xkcd on picking passwords you’ll actually remember. (Now was it wmillbooks with two zeros and a z, or one?)

Ever wanted to see what people were searching for on Wikipedia? No? Well…you can anyway, with this strangely mesmerising website.

Here’s lookin’ at you kid - a gallery of ultra-close up animal eyes. Brilliant.

And finally, we’re a bookish blog so here’s a wordy game from the OED to pass the time. Good weekends all!
