Interesting (to me at least) look at some of the history of Barberton, where I work, and a little bit on my company, Babcock and Wilcox.

I know I have a son in Art school, and there are some pretty talented people around, but all the same this video just blows me away. I wonder how long it took to do in real time?

So, paper magazines are dead (mostly). But this cool Zinio site has full electronic versions of a number of great magazines that are identical to the printed versions. You read them with a little program that runs on your PC. Great for me, because I travel all over and can read them anywhere. The image quality is great, you can zoom and search and follow links and print, and it's generally pretty neat. I get PC magazine, and its a great way to read it. They even have some of those annoying little pullout cards like the real magazines do!

Im a big Audible.com audio book listener (and you should be too), but one of the challenges each month is coming up with new books to get on my subscription plan (2 per month). Well, there are a number of Tech podcasts (like TWIT.COM) with really smart people on them that have Audible as their sponsor, and the podcast guests usually select a book to recommend. This website gathers all those recommendations up in one place, which is a really cool place to go to get ideas about what people are reading that is interesting.

If you're into browsing astonishing amateur photography, 1x is probably one of the best sites out there. I use it a lot to get "tips" by example, or, if I just want to be depressed about how poor my own photos are by comparison.

In case you haven't seen this video that Oprah's production company did, I recommend it. I think the spirit of service, patriotism, and engagement that the election of Obama seems to have fostered, particularly among artists, is pretty cool. I hope it lasts. Anyway, this, I think, is part of that positive spirit that is in the air.
