Tum De Dum

:::twiddling my fingers:::

It's been a good day!

Except that somehow my knees are hurting. A lot. The right one swelled to the size of a small grapefruit. The left one just HURT. No clue why. All I did was work in the yard this morning!

But I'll take that - my mood is good, and the day has been a productive one. I'm happy, content and...

Dang. Is this for real? ME? Happy... and content... and smiling?

Even snuck in a short nap with Crash. ::beaming::

Yup. ::poking self:: It's a good day.

Before you send me that e-mail about marauding bands of dissolute youth throwing molotov cocktails through open windows at stoplights, READ THIS FIRST.
Qur'an Transliteration
While studying the Qur'an with friends, I have been most impressed with this site; it offers transliteration, translation and a startlingly good set of sound clips for every aya in the Qur'an.
Eugenics Archive
An unfliching look into one of America's Dirty Little Secrets.
Home Page: American Memory from the Library of Congress
I'm absolutely hooked on digital libraries, and the LOC has one of the best.
EyeWitness to History - history through the eyes of those who lived it
Fascinating first-person accounts of history, though I must say I am disappointed there are few minority voices to be heard here...

Why aren't YOU a card-carrying member of the ACLU? And if you are, huzzah!

t r u t h o u t
Heh. It's not like I am a left-wing Liberal or anything.
LarkNews
Not for the religious faint-of-heart. Seriously funny religion spoofs on real - or very likely real but not confirmed and not likely to be - news items.
RefDesk
Can't find it online? Try RefDesk! I use it at work constantly when I have a tough reference question, though for use with customers you have got to be mighty familiar with it.
OneLook Dictionary Search
My all-time favorite dictionary metasearch engine; if you can't get to the OED, this is the next best thing.
MSN Slate Magazine
I like the snarky, rebellious, and almost anarchist tone of this news source, even with the connection to Microsoft (And hey - Bill and Melinda Gates support libraries. They can't be nearly as bad as people say they are!).
The Atlantic Online
Ahhhhh... now *this* is in-depth news and social science coverage. Probably my all-time fave magazine, whether online or in print.

OK, so this is sick and twisted. May I suggest you turn up the speakers?
Speaking of Faith
Krista Tippett does such a good job with SoF, and the topics are always interesting. To me, this represents one of the better outreach programs on NPR, and opens your eyes to world religions in ways you have never considered. Broadcasts available online.
Angry Alien Productions, Sase and Topsie
30-second animated productions of well-known movies... as rendered by bunnies.
American Humanist Association: Welcome!
If you want to know more about my "faith," check out this site.
