It really does! Despite all the bad things happening economically, there are things that can still give us enjoyment, surprise and wonder. Today's post is a little treasure box of interesting items for your browsing pleasure.
The first Hat Tip (HT) goes to Andrew Sullivan for this wonderful global geological map, the "world as rocks." And Congress has OK'd greater Broadband access* so the Internet will get even bigger and more fun for all of us. An Oregon boy has invented a solar cell* that might make being on the Internet even easier. Blog writing can be done almost anyplace you can get a connection, even if you are stuck in the Arctic#. Here's another HT to Andrew Sullivan for this link to "The Seven Basic Blog Posts" published at Wired.
Nowadays almost all of the magazines we used to buy at the news stand or get in the mail are available online. Here one can just click and see in Time's online magazine, Paul Newman: His Life in Photographs#, The Top Ten Paul Newman Films#, or Time pictures of the week#. There is also "America the Authentic - 50 Authentic American Experiences." But mysteries remain, such as the very old ship hulk# dredged up by Hurricane Ike.
The third HT goes to Tom Head (who writes about civil liberties at About.com) for this list of "The Top 10 'Obscene' Literary Classics."
Hat Tip Key: Regular contributors of above links to leads are "betmo*" and Jon#.
My topical post today at South by Southwest and The Reaction is about politics.
