Mid-February Link Dump

Colin’s Bear Animation; interview with the animator

Fifteen seconds of pure, distilled awesomeness that somehow escaped my attention until now.

The Big Sleep

There are dark, cold winter mornings when this approach sounds rather tempting (but without the sweaty farm animals).

Sometimes Red, Sometimes Blue; Dog Plus Pony

Yet more daft, minuscule sites (I blame cheap domain names).

How was the Hotel? - Vulnerable!

Stuff like this can be found all over the place; the biggest problem is resisting the temptation to look.
