Miscellaneous links

From reddit (via Josh) come some interesting links.


Here is a good link if you like music (popular). Go and type in the name of a band or musician. Watch as a floating map of related groups appears and arranges itself. Click on any of the names to make a new map with the clickee at the center.


Or here is one if you have been yearning for a handy way to estimate sizes and distances with little more than your thumb.


Or, if you have been suffering through the Fool's SOTU speech, try this link to a preemptive response. I may not totally agree, but lines like, "...your Republican president and Congress ... have engaged in the fiscal equivalent of a crack binge...," are hard to ignore.


Pictures to come before too long. Posted by chuck at January 31, 2006 09:44 PM | TrackBack
