The Random Reading List - Tuesday 20th October 2009
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 07:34PM

Some links you may find interesting/useful/amusing from the last couple of weeks. From now on I'll be posting a weekly reading list every Tuesday.
You'll be familiar with some of these if you follow my Twitter feed or Google Reader shared items as they're taken from a combination of stuff I've posted on both sites.
Ps if you haven't tried Canabalt yet (pictured above) get over there and have a go - it's free to play online and the music is INCREDIBLE (turn it up loud). Oh, and the best version I could find of the Spike Jonze directed Kanye West short film "We Were Once a Fairytale" is embedded below too as the original posting on YouTube was removed. It's pretty damn bizarre.
