Deeplinking

Scribd, the Y Combinator-backed “YouTube for documents” I and many others first blogged about a month ago, appears to be holding strong traffic-wise. Content-wise, it’s still largely a wasteland of crappy ebooks, but there are a few documents of interest buried amid the rubble. Here’s the best of what I’ve been able to find so far:

• The Mathematics of Electronic Music
• The Art of Noise: The 1913 Futurist manifesto, not the seminal British synthpop group with the scary girl video.
• Y Combinator Startup School 2007 Notes
• The Twilight Years of Cap’n Crunch and the importance of dentistry
• Mathematics Under the Microscope: Notes on Cognitive Aspects of Mathematical Practice
• Crazy Musical Scores: Indeed.
• Improving Tag-Clouds as Visual Information Retrieval Interfaces
• Pornsaints: “A brief essay on pornography and transcendence”
• Ruby on Rails cheat sheet: Potentially useful.
• William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: High-res scan
• Absinthe: The Hell-Drink That Can Put You In Your Grave: 1960s sweat mag scan
