This is a really well-done search engine, which filters through the tags on Flickr photos. Really cool, lovely interface, simple and elegant. Very nice.

Also, Nick Brandt and Eric Gustafson are amazing photographers.



Here is all you need to know about mythology, of all nationalities.

The band Flobots. Fascinating sound. Go check them out.

Parlez-vous francais?

Molière was an interesting film about the famous French playwright. You should go check it out.

And you have to admit, Josh Groban is phenomenal for relaxing. It makes me want some classical training for my voice.

Reading: Lady Chatterley's Lover, because it's a classic novel. Haven't gotten far enough to find anything scandalous yet. We'll see.

Internet Connections

I love the Internet.

I went from researching the board game Lotus, to looking through octopus photos, to learning about sword swallowing.

I'm not really sure how I made those leaps, either.

Also, the board games Ishi, Stare!, King Me!, Surakarta, Luxor, and Score Four look fascinating. I also found the game No Peeking!, which I had played as a kid and then totally forgotten about. Fun game, actually. I cheated at it all the time. :x

Death To the Untrained Ear

... by virtue of training it.

Found *another* good online music finding source.

This one manages to allow you to search across the podcast network to find the song you want. You can create playlists, manage them, change them, share them, and embed your music all in the same place. Rather terribly convenient, actually. And when one considers that as time goes on, the amount of podcasts allowing access to songs will only grow.

It's called SeeqPod.

Music + Discovery

= Musicovery!

This site is a rather well-polished little gem I found. I play around with it when I get tired of listening to my own music library but don't really know anything new I want from LimeWire. Sometimes it gives me great new songs, other times it just sort of makes me cringe and rush to change the song. Either way, I love the fact that you can pick your playlist based on genre, mood, tempo, or a combination of these.

You should check it out.

SINGLE WHINE: No skip button. You click on a new song, it switches the playlist order. Annoying as heck until you decide to ignore it. >_>
