More interesting stuff found from patiently going through my flist, and how often I get sidetracked and how far...

...and also from Twitter and from looking back through friends' LJs. :)

:: I can't even remember the train of opening new tabs that led to finding this gem. :D
:: (Oh yeah. I'm doing my first ever friends cut [this was from the third to the fourth of this month]. Finding some interesting stuff. From the present!)
:: I wish camera3 would be updated.
:: Some Guy With A Website makes awesome political cartoons. Thanks to @natthedem for the link.
:: Thanks to Fizzy, a great movie called The Dish, about a big satellite dish in a small town in Australia that made the world's viewing of the Apollo 11 moon landing possible. Why this isn't being shown in at least central Florida schools is beyond me.
