Fascinating
A couple of really interesting sites to share.
Zooborns Eldest found this site today, and I think we'll be visiting it regularly! Incredible photos with information on animals born at various zoos.
Ugly Overload We've been checking this site out for quite some time now, and it's always filled with the most incredible creaturs and interesting information. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I find many of these creatures incredibly gorgeous.

Pinholes
We are all big fans of digital photography, though Youngest's interest seems to have waned. Four years ago, we had none. My husband got me a little point and shoot in the fall of 2004. Now we have 3 DSLRs and 3 older point and shoots, plus we'd had another point and shoot that we sold. I still use one of the point and shoots for it's video capability. Between us, we've easily taken in excess of 10,000 photos in the last couple of years alone, though we certainly haven't kept them all. The joy of digital - if you screw up a photo, you just delete it. One of the reasons I'd stopped using our film camera long ago was because there were so many wasted shots - the camera never seemed to focus where it was supposed do - and I got really tired of paying for garbage shots.
As great as digital photography is, there's still something to be said for film photography, and Eldest and been itching to try it out. More specifically, pinhole photography. Today, Dh noticed a site in a photo magazine that we checked out. Corbis Readymech Cameras. I love the idea that you can print out a camera!!
We ended up printing out the Freud-cam (Photos of Your Mother) and the red Pablo version. The pdf printouts include instructions, of course. Eldest has started assembling the Freud version, but is still missing pieces - like film and a film cannister - to finish it, so it'll be a few days before she can try it out.
It should be interesting to see how they turn out!

Cool site
Earthcam - Webcam Network.
This site has links to webcams all over the world.
I wonder if I can find the ones around our city? Time to go looking...

A bit of modern history
I still remember when this happened! That plane was bigger than any of the hangers.

I couldn't have said it better myself!
This is such a hoot!

(I have to admit, I'm guilty of the first one, as I've described in my previous post. *L*)
