Interactive Flag Site

I'm a little late for Flag Day, but the Huffington Post's Which Star Is Your State is still worth a look. Sorta makes one proud to be an American.

Mixed Feelings

I have mixed feelings about Quantified Self. Is this a further indication that we are Bowling Alone? Take a look and tell me what you think.

Open Culture

Open Culture is primarily a blog that notes interesting web links, but it also contains connections to free films, podcasts, e-books, courses, etc. This site merits repeated visits.

The Browser

I have mentioned the Arts and Letters Daily site earlier in the this blog. It's still a great site that I visit regularly. The Browser is a similar site that provides links to notable articles about science and culture. It's worth a look.

Google Art Project

Do you want to visit the museums of the world in the comfort of your home, try browsing Google's Art Project. You can check out museum highlights and in some cases do a virtual walk in the chosen museum. Among the museums included are the Frick Collection and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Ufizzi Gallery in Florence and the Tate in London.

John Stewart's "I Remember America"

A couple of days ago, I was dabbling in my CD collection and came across John Stewart's song "I Remember America." With the recent gun violence in Tucson, Arizona, this nostalgic and melancholy song struck a chord in me, so I thought I'd pass along this YouTube video.

Stewart, who passed away a couple of years ago was a member of the Kingston Trio and wrote such songs as "Daydream Believer."
