It’s been a long weekend. I had too many posts ready for Friday, so I moved Bookmark Friday to Bookmark Sunday. Sorry for the delay this week. Lots of bookmarks this week, especially for Martin, who was asking about them when I went out last night.

Despite being late, we’re going to start off with some Twitter users you should follow. Remember, all anyone had to do was follow me on Twitter and tweet the following:

@joetech I want that free link in your Bookmark Friday post : http://www.joetech.com/suggests/bmftw

Just one this week:

Thanks to everyone who retweets my requests for Bookmark Fridays and sends me bookmark suggestions, too. Now on with the bookmarks for the week:

Credit card processing with the iPhone – This is one of those “why didn’t I develop that?” apps. It’s a simple idea that enables anyone with an iPhone to process credit cards anywhere.

Hummer H3 Hybrid = 100+MPG – It’s a little hard to swallow, right? Apparently, this hybrid H3 will make you think twice about Hummers being eco-horrible. They’re still too big for my taste, though.

Which Date Works? – This is another simple idea with elegant execution. Get everyone to hit the site, choose their available dates (for, say, a dinner party), and the site mashes it all together and spits out the best date for everyone.

Every arrest gets tweeted – Apparently, in Denton, Texas, the police post every arrest and mug shot on their twitter.

TileStack – This is a platform where non-developers can create applications by stacking various components together instead of writing code. I’m actually working on something along the same thought process, just not as pretty or proprietary.

Nine Inch Nails iPhone app – Trent shows his geeky side again with a NIN iPhone app. It’s pretty cool, too. My screenshots are all here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodomain1/sets/72157616853639142/

Making of Doom – This is a pretty cool video inside ID Software while they’re getting Doom ready for release long, long ago, in… this galaxy.

Space Invaders coasters – Nice! I’m working on an idea similar to (but better than) this, too.

Catapult business card – This is one of the best business cards I’ve seen for an engineer. No need for a resume. Just hand your future employer this card and tell them how much to pay you.

Tonematrix – This guy’s doing some really cool things with the Processing, which I’ve mentioned before.

Zippo laser projector – You know how I love lasers. This guy crammed a lase projector into an emptied out Zippo.

LCD gift wrap – Write your own message on this LCD wrapping paper.

3D printing at home – We’re getting closer and closer to decent yet affordable home fabricating. In 5 years, I’ll bet you can buy a good 3D printer for under $300. With more and more people launching their own products with Ponoko end Etsy, it’ll be a welcomed offering.

Steam punk light switch plates – You could look faster than I could describe… Click.
