Friday, May 26, 2006 Well, hi. Here are some leftover Thursday links for the library people! Actually, they're mostly questions. Has anyone tried the "Check This Out!" podcast yet? And has anyone tried listening to Reuters Newsbeats? I'm interested in what sort of music they play... Louisiana lawyers are getting free technical assistance while everything's being reconstructed. It's nice to see something positive happening. It's not too early to start planning for Internet Librarian 2006! They even have a wiki set up. On to links from others! From Holly: there's a "sex theme park" opening in London. Yowza! Also from Holly: the Simpsons are a fount of philosophy for the ages. From Zazoo: John Cameron Mitchell of Hedwig fame has a new movie out! And lastly, swiped from the insanity that is Cute Overload...the amazing HamTrack '06. You can see all the different teams! And if you go to the "bet now" part, you can see the hamsters in their little helmets! Awwww! Have a spiffy long weekend, everyone. Back on Tuesday. Jinnet @ 5/26/2006 : comments: 0 Thursday, May 25, 2006 Blargh! Today has been crazy. Until I can update further, enjoy this article (courtesy of the Graveworm) detailing how Cleveland libraries are hotbeds of sexual activity and dens of iniquity. Oh yeah. (Sheesh.) Jinnet @ 5/25/2006 : comments: 0 Wednesday, May 24, 2006 A long weekend's coming up, and that means it's time for...cheese rolling! And tortoise racing! It's also National Vegetarian Week, although I don't think anything special's planned for the weekend. Maybe you could throw an all-organic banquet. If you can't make it to the tortoise racing, you can at least watch meerkats via the joy of Meerkat Cam. You can steer it around and zoom in and out, too. In Valencia, Spain, there's a giant figure of Gulliver lying on the ground, and kids can pretend they're Lilliputians and climb all over him. Er, well... And for the morbidly inclined, there's a set of figures called Buildings of Disaster, which includes the Chernobyl plant, Oklahoma City's federal building, the Pentagon...and, inexplicably, the OJ Bronco chase. Evidently the LA freeway is considered a building. Who knew? Jinnet @ 5/24/2006 : comments: 0 Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Today's theme: imagination comes to life! First off, the National Museum of American History has an exhibit on Jim Henson and the Muppets all summer. Also coming out this summer: a LEGO version of the Arkham Asylum from Batman -- all 860 pieces of it! (The asylum, that is, not Batman.) The Marvel Atlas Project tries to pin down where everyone lives in the Marvel Universe, or at least those who live on Earth. Meanwhile, over in China, there's an abandoned theme park that looks to be the eastern equivalent of EPCOT's World Showcase, and someone got in and took over 100 photos. There's nothing like seeing a Chinese-made version of Arizona... If you like Katamari Damacy (and really, who doesn't?), you'll love this group who ran the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco dressed as characters from the game and rolling a katamari the whole way. They need to get together with the Electric Giraffe and start some performance art revolution, I think. Jinnet @ 5/23/2006 : comments: 0 Monday, May 22, 2006 Today: Art! But first, we observe the birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Renaissance art: One man has made it his life's work to track down Leonardo Da Vinci's painting of the Battle of Anghiari. Fantastic spooky art: the works of Stephen Berkman. Modern photography meeting multimedia art: Tabblo provides a way to make a form of online scrapbook with your photos. The sad art of remembrance: Washington Post's Faces of the Fallen. Jinnet @ 5/22/2006 : comments: 1
