Metrolike seems to be really kinda fixed.
Metrolike is back, and only too pleased to screen out all the newsfilter posts for you.

Metafiltr
It's Metafilter 2.0. Hopefully to blossom as a clearinghouse for absurdist mefi humor, including bizarre flash apps. This is brand-stinking new; if I'm omitting some good self-reflective mefi blogs or stunts or misc. content, please let me know!

Hike Database
A wiki-based project I started a few months ago to create a free, complete hiking and backpacking guide to trails all over the world. With Google maps directions to trailheads, hike descriptions, and links to weather forecasts, plan hikes in places like the Bay Area, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail near Pittsburgh. We'd love new contributors, so if you can add a description of a park or hike, know coordinates to a mountain summit or trailhead, or just fix our typos, come help us out.

listening to words
Find and discuss free audio and video lectures from around the web. You can filter audio/video/mp3 only, create playlists (which can be exported to iTunes and other players), and add tags and comments to lectures.

idproxy.net
I've been playing around with OpenID a lot recently, and idproxy.net is my latest experiment. It's an OpenID provider that you can log in to with your Yahoo! account, thereby enabling any Yahoo! user to log in to any OpenID supporting site (for example Zooomr or Ma.gnolia.com).

The (1st Annual) indieWIRE Critics' Poll
When the Village Voice decided not to continue their 7-year-old film critics' poll, we jumped in along with Dennis Lim and Anthony Kaufman to give it a new home at indieWIRE and expand the list of critics involved to add online film critics into the mix of newspaper and alt-weekly reviewers. You can plod through the details of each ballot to arm-chair quarterback to whatever level you want.

San Francisco bicycle route planner
This Yahoo maps mashup will calculate the best route by bicycle between any two addresses/intersections in San Francisco. It takes elevation and bike lanes into account. Bug reports / suggestions are welcome. I've only tested it on IE / Firefox for Windows thus far.

Sam and Liberty
is a comic that I've been slaving on for several months. Originally a short screenplay by my wife, it captures a day in the life of those poor schmucks who wear costumes and stand on streetcorners waving for attention. Next up: a comic about assasinating Fleetwood Mac.

ActionSheets: pulling javascript out of HTML- simply.
A no-nonsense, fairly lightweight JavaScript library designed to allow developers to keep their JavaScript events in a separate "Cascading Action Sheet", except minus the cascading. By placing a reference to such a sheet in a element, the library will load the sheet, and apply its action rules to the document. The library depends on, and takes heavy advantage of the Prototype.js library.

Mixed States
I got tired of trying to keep up with all the blogs by scientists I read and I knew other people were missing out on a lot of great stuff. So, I did the only thing a sensible person would do and wrote an aggregator. Enjoy the work of physicists at Mixed States, of biologists at Recombinants and of computer scientists at Upper Bounds. Of course, there's MetaMixed, concerning the state of the aggregates, and there's the a nice place to send me other science blogs you know. And, finally, there's a feed for each of the aggregates, if you're feeling crazy.

Resoldo
My dear friend Robert Zimmerman (proud father of illustration sites drawger and illoz) & I have been struggling to get this little music site idea off the ground... we both think it's so cool. Musicians (like me... & maybe you!) can have their own site, upload song libraries and mp3s, photos, you name it. Now all we need are the musicians to get on there and use it. What do you think? Do you like it? Any suggestions to improve it? Anyone want to join in? Feedback very, very appreciated.

The healing power of placebo
Did you know that the sweet potato is a natural source of placebo? Or that the multinational drug companies are consipiring to keep the potent chi energy of dehydrated distilled water a secret? Of course you didn't, because none of it is true. Hopefully it's at least slightly amusing though.
