have you seen this? It's a Google mashup of war ('conflict") around the globe, with a time slider.

I thoroughly enjoyed that cloud.

Cloud · 10-25-2009, 07:17 PM

thanks; it's cool, but sad

I am completely fascinated by this site. If this is well-known, I apologize in advance. If it is not well-known, it should be.

wolf, I thought you might enjoy this.

The Lives They Left Behind--Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic(particularly Willard Psychiatric Hospital in the Finger Lakes Region of NY)

http://www.suitcaseexhibit.org/indexhasflash.html

edit: further reading shows the institution was near Seneca Lake, where I spent some time when I was married as my ex's sister's family owned a cottage there (at the lake, not the hospital.) I don't remember hearing of it before.

When I use a calendar wallpaper I usually end up with one of these. The site updates monthly.

Thanks, I just downloaded 2 sets of November calendars, 1 each with calendar and just picture.

Very nice.

skysidhe · 11-01-2009, 11:45 AM

y.w.
I've downloaded both sets too.

I thought posting crap on the cellar was the height of pathetic boredom/thrill seeking. lol

I wasn't looking for this one. Ha but I am right when I said when in doubt don't use an apostrophe. A web page said so. It's gotta be true.

further toward the bottom of the page is more funnies

Like this cartoon

Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.
It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go.

Play wikibacon! I found Kevin Bacon in eight links, on the second try. Depends on the starting link: white-faced ibis might be harder to link.

glatt · 11-11-2009, 02:27 PM

That was fun.

I started on the page for the North American Confederacy. I visually scanned the links on the page until I saw a path that I thought should work. I was right.

Click 1. Robert Heinlein
Click 2. Starship Troopers (the book)
Click 3. Starship Troopers (the movie)
Click 4. Denise Richards
Click 5. Wild Things (the movie)
Click 6. Kevin Bacon

I was disappointed that it didn't congratulate me or anything once I got to Kevin Bacon. It should at least tell you the number of steps it took.

Shawnee123 · 11-11-2009, 02:30 PM

Yeah, I don't remember my path. It's a great idea but would be nice if it kept some kind of track, and statistics.

Fun, though. My first try was, I can't even remember it was so obscure. The second one was a country, from where I went to US, then to Media...finally found academy award winner listings and A Few Good Men. Voila!

Well the North Slope of Ak still looks promising. Maybe Sarah could get us a job.
