Whoa, a tornado hit London? Is Mary Poppins in town?
More surprising news: Google Answers has gone the way of the dinosaur. I didn't expect that to happen; I thought they were doing a pretty brisk business.
The Cincinnati Public Library has a plan for the 21st century. Most public libraries will be looking at similar changes, I bet.
Along with the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian consistently has great online exhibits. They've had panoramic maps of hundreds of cities up for a while now; for something more seasonal, they've put up the holiday greeting cards of Bauahus-influenced artist Werner Drewes. (I wish they'd sell these as holiday cards, actually - I'd definitely buy them and send them out!)
The U.S. Mint is also doing very cool things these days. Next up: dollar coins with the faces of the first presidents. Maybe Americans will finally warm up to the concept of dollar coins.
A new site about old photos: Old Pictures tells the stories behind the pictures. What an awesome idea!
For librarians (and non-librarians) who are looking to digitize analog audio: behold the Plug & Play USB turntable!
Tomorrow: lots and lots of links from others. See you then.
