Here are several things I enjoyed this week, and one I did not:

• Happy Up Here by Röyksopp
  You should go and watch this video, because it is oustanding.
• State of the Art: Google Geniuses at Work on Free Goodies
  The consensus around my office after we all read this Pogue piece was that most of us knew about most of these features, but none of us knew about all of them. This is in spite of the fact that they’re pretty much listed right here.
• MetaFilter: Squeeze in, get online for a better life
  A MeFi post on net rooms in Tokyo. The linked articles are worth reading for their own sake, but I was immediately struck by how much the photos reminded me of the coffin hotels described in William Gibson novels like Neuromancer. I am aware, though, that capsule hotels already exist and have for a while.

• Consumerist: Identifying yourself as a lesbian gets you banned on Xbox Live
  Sometimes, the stupidity in the world causes me actual physical pain.
• Etsy: JRGOLDBERG
  If you enjoyed Jellyfist, please to investigate J.R. Goldberg’s new Etsy shop. I would buy the place out if I were a little richer or a lot drunker, but as it is I could not resist picking up one of these print sets as a housewarming gift to myself.
• Though I think the “fail” thing is now cringe-worthy and generally to be avoided, I laughed my goddamn ass off at this photo. Then I saw this sketch and was afraid.

And here are a few technical bits, which you may skip unless you are also a web nerd.

• At my day job, I produce a fair amount of HTML email for clients. If you have also had occasion to write HTML email, you’re probably aware that it’s a murky, non-semantic tangle of pre-CSS markup and pure arcana. The Campaign Monitor blog, however, provides a huge amount of badly-needed information that’s based on actual testing, not guesswork. This week I made use of two of their posts: one on support for nested tables and one announcing a new Campaign Monitor report on mail client usage that I’ve already found extremely helpful.
• WebAim Screen Reader Survey Results: Fascinating information that will be of use to anyone interested in web accessibility.
