Linksfest: Packed and Ready to Go

Here's the secret to getting your lift to go into express mode. Otis only, apparently. And here's a playlist of every free song in the iTunes music store. Okay, that just means songs below 30 seconds in length. (Via Jason Barrow.)

Queer Eye for the Reporter Gal: how come Superman's super vision doesn't come with fashion sense? That red-and-blue outfit really doesn't work.

Singaporean band Soul'D Out keeps a blog. Good to see blogs here expanding into different spaces - promotion, that sort of thing... speaking of soul power, here's Ultimate Christian Wrestling.

How to tidy your kitchen and inflict pain on your enemies at the same time (lots of well-designed stuff to look at)... since I'm also jonesing for good type design, here's the free font blog, including Kontrapunkt, which I linked to before.

Presumably the "winners of the 'I Look Like My Dog' contest line was meant to be facetious, but people have taken it seriously.
