Today: links from others. Thanks, everyone!
From Zazoo:
From Danny: inspired by the Ministry video linked on Tuesday, here's a whole slew of fun Legomation! From Neil Gaiman's journal: Unphotographable, a very cool idea. And finally, a question for Cincinnati folk. I thought I knew my downtown characters pretty well, but I don't remember ever seeing this guy. Anyone else?

Here's something you don't see every day: the cabin of William S. Burroughs is up for sale on eBay. If you win, you may see all sorts of wild things. Re-enacting the story of William Tell with your loved one is not recommended, however.
How cool are librarians? They're this cool. Hooray for the radical militant librarians!
Despite all the problems with the current administration, the government does provide some cool stuff...like coloring books available for the downloading. I had no idea there were so many.
The future is coming! PBS on computers! Book excerpts on phones! Librarians going hyper-violent on cell phone users! (Well, that last one hasn't happened yet. But I do love the calm academic discussion on how best to shoot the perpetrators.) But for those who love the past, the Theban Mapping Project is a truly amazing interactive work for anyone who ever wanted to be an Egyptologist.
Tomorrow: links from others!

Don't forget that it's Earth Day on Saturday, and you can participate in all sorts of earth-friendly activities. For example, you can get your bike blessed at St. John the Divine! (I'd love to see this.)
The "DaVinci Code Quest on Google" started on Monday and goes up to the day of the film's premiere. If you're not completely sick of the book and film already, the puzzles and setup are admittedly pretty cool. (It's quite the shill for Google, too. Those guys know how to take advantage of trends.)
RIP, little Dracula park; the planned amusements in Romania have bit the dust. But hey, a few countries over, they're digging for a pyramid supposedly under a hill in Bosnia!

Now you can turn your life into a piece of Mondrian art, via MyMondrian! My first attempt ended up awfully brown and dull, so I changed a few things and got the above image. It's still not very colorful, but hey.
Yesterday we had knitted sweaters for trees. Today, we have knitted sweaters for penguins, courtesy of several Mormons. And the penguins are wearing them!
Goofy computer games: shoot up some roadsigns, or launch a cute little critter across ice floes. (That last one is HARD.)
For more domesticated fun, you can turn your fridge into an ongoing Lite-Brite display. Neato!

Today, it's all about fun stuff. (Well, unless you don't think Kurt Cobain's poetry interests are fun. They're not, exactly, but they do lead to some neato poets. Silver linings and all that.)
However, tree sweaters are awfully fun. And so is a Ministry video filmed entirely with Legos! And so is a musical animation done entirely with public domain icons!
And Rooster Iglehart's art, while possibly dark to some, is entirely awesome to me. And we're all about spooky awesome fun here.
