I love unusual clocks and this is one of the best—a different photo showing the time is displayed every minute. The photos are submitted from people all around the world. 9:57 p.m. may be from Italy, while 9:58 p.m. may be from Oregon. Some of the photos simply show a person holding a particular minute written down on paper, while some are more creative and display the time with found objects or even physical poses. An entertaining way to tell the time…and you can submit your own slice of the day, too. LINK→

After three decades of flight, covering more than a million miles per day, NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft are now knocking on the door of interstellar space. LINK→

A terrific “periodic table” of the 252 allowed entities in HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0 with a display of each entity, its entity code, numerical code and unicode representations. Very handy for website designers. I use this one all the time. LINK→

Well, even I knew that! For as long as I can remember, I’ve been nodding off each night to this or that custom mix tape mix MP3 CD, usually filled with quiet ambient music. LINK→

Arctic ice will reach levels predicted for 2050 by the end of this summer. I wonder what the levels will be in 2050? LINK→

I know I’m dating myself, but I remember when CDs first came out. I was in a record store (remember those?) and saw a CD of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells sitting on the checkout counter (anything by Oldfield always got my attention). A friend who was shopping with me told me that it was a new medium for music. Once I realized it was music I already had, I just shrugged and moved on. Little did I know… LINK→

In former times printed manuals had some blank pages, usually with the remark “this page intentionally left blank.” In most cases there had been technical reasons for that. Today almost all blank pages have disappeared…the “This Page Intentionally Left Blank”-Project (TPILB-Project) tries to introduce these blank pages to the Web again. One reason is to keep alive the remembrance of these famous historical blank pages. But the primary reason is to offer internet wanderers a place of quietness and simplicity on the overcrowded World Wide Web—a blank page for relaxing the restless mind. LINK→

The International House of Logorrhea (an online dictionary of obscure and rare words), the Compendium of Lost Words (a compilation of ultra-rare forgotten words), and many other glossaries, word lists, essays, and other language and etymology resources. LINK→

A listing of over 500 companies, their phone numbers and exactly what buttons to press or things to say to get a human being on the phone quickly without getting lost in their Kafkaesque phone menus. A terrific resource! LINK→

Yikes! My sister and her family were pummeled by this storm all night long. Fortunately, they are safe and sound. LINK→
