The Weekly for 3 July

• A lovefest for Nancy Drew and other girl detectives.
• Vintage color & design: 50's & 60's graphics.
• Why technology can't fulfill.
• From Zeldman, the new old minimalists.
• Some useful Linux resources for children, plus ten more.
• A report on a 1996 documentary of Edward D. Wood Jr.. I've never heard of this doc, which surprises me. It would probably be good to follow it up with Burton's Ed Wood, for a happier ending.
• Design as ordinary skill and universal everything. (Hat tip: Design Observer.)
• As you may have heard, next year's Best Picture nominees will number ten. The Women and Hollywood blog discusses how more best picture nominees will effect women.
• Vegan support groups. (Forwarded to me by a few people, but @zipplockbag specifically sent it to me for my weekly.)
• From @dmmaxwell, frogs marry to induce rainfall. Question - is it proper to suspend skepticism when the item in question is mostly harmless? Although maybe it wasn't harmless - maybe one of the frogs was in love with a different frog and is now miserable in this forced marriage. If that's the case, I hope it's raining, to give the poor frog at least a little comfort.
