WhoCalled.usThis is a brilliant site. Brilliant brilliant brilliant.You're sitting at your desk, happily working away (ok maybe not happily, but you're at work anyway) when your cell rings. It's not your best friend's ringtone. It's not your mom's ringtone. It's the generic ringtone. Caller ID shows this number: 000-000-0000. WTH? Who is it? Well don't answer it. Instead, go to WhoCalled.us and check it out. According to "Karen" there, the Zero caller is a research marketer who persistently calls your number over and over and over until you answer. My advice is when you do cave and answer, scream very loudly and then hang up. It's very liberating :)  |

It's Splat-tastic! JacksonPollock.org has just killed several minutes of my time. It's kind of like popping bubblewrap. I'm in full frustration mode right now and this site took my mind off of it for a little while. I like stuff like that. Give a try. |

Poplifeart.com Some celebrities are so creative that they can't sit still in their 'downtime' and have to carry on being creative in any form they can get their hands on. Some of these people turn to painting, sculptures or photography to express themselves.PopLifeArt.com is a large compendium of such celebrities and their artwork and it's interesting to see another facet to their personalities. The image here is a self-portrait done by David Bowie. Other artists included on the site are Ringo Starr, Jerry Garcia, John Lennon, Dennis Hopper, Viggo Mortensen (his photography is simply beautiful), Johnny Cash and more. The site lists galleries where the art is displayed and includes links so that you can peruse their work online. Enjoy! |

Chateau GuédelonHere's a good reason to move to France, if you're a history buff of any kind: Chateau Guédelon. It's a living history project that sort of came about because a man, Michel Guyot, thought it would be interesting to attempt to build a castle using only medieval techniques. 13th century techniques to be exact. And so, for the next twenty years, he and a team of about 45-50 carpenters, stonemasons and craftsmen will build this castle using only materials in the surrounding areas and without the aid of things like power tools and forklifts. Horsepower literally means horsepower as materials are brought in by carts Tourists can watch it in action and after securing initial funding to get the project off the ground, the project now need only rely on tourism to fund itself. I think it's just spiffy. |
