This would make a great practical joke down the road (and sadly, I still remember getting information from Gopher sources back in the day).

Free Photo Sites
For those you won’t want to pay for a legitimate photographer for your project, there’s a great round up of free stock photo sites here. Most of the photos there are have restrictions on commercial use, but they may come in handy for personal, non-money-making projects (but if you need something original, get a stock collection or hire a good photographer).
Google Needs To Get Rid Of Evan Williams
This guy seems to think Google would be far better off if it got rid of Evan Williams. Last I checked, Evan left over six months ago. He’s making fun of the situation in a couple posts on his blog. Priceless.
Thanks Waxy for the link.
I’m A Flickr Pro User
Thanks to Flickr’s gift giving spree and Will‘s generosity with his freebies, I now have a Flickr Pro membership. Now I just have to get some photos to throw up there (I have some photos I can put up there, just need to collect them all).
Anybody who’s a member there, feel free to add me as a contact so I know who’s there.
73 And Counting
I now have 73 blogs and journals listed over at Bend Blogs. I’ve come across far more, but they haven’t been updated in the last 30 days so I haven’t included them. By far, most of them are LiveJournal users, but there’s still good reads on some of them.
I’m still yet to find time to clean up my to-do list for that site, but at least I know the content’s there.
Anybody know of any sites I might be missing?
Men Of The Year
Actually, these guys could be considered the jerks for the year, and you’ll see why after looking at the photos (the last one isn’t work-safe — you’ve been warned).
Amazing Lego Work
While the Lego Bible Stories (as well as some of the other Lego creations that have been featured on this site) are all fine and dandy, this creation is one of the most impressive I’ve seen (at least in recent memory). Thanks simplexr for the link.
Best Way To Get Expensive Dining Cheap?
All you need to do is invite a woman to a really expensive dinner at a fancy restaurant, and then run away when it comes time to pay the bill. Thanks Barn for the link.
I’m Going Straight To Hell
Some just sent me a little note that I’m going straight to Hell for laughing at (Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, etc…).
“We all know the Pope was elected in utmost secrecy with the rooms they held the conclave swept for bugs and microphones, special filtering was setup for radio waves and cell phones, etc… . But you want to know the real reason for all the secrecy and privacy? They’re in there with a bunch of little boys and they didn’t want to get caught.”
That’s just so wrong. But I still laughed. And I was baptized as a baby. I’m going straight to Hell.
