In general, I'd like to stay away from shorter entries like this, but there are three incredibly cool links that absolutely must share...
The first is The Paper Princess, a beautifully designed site where you can buy original stationery, hand-made bags and pouches, and everything you might need to appear artistically hip. I'm happily married to the genius behind it...
The second site is MSN's Virtual Earth. Normally I'm against all things MicroSoft, but this is too cool to be ignored. Type in your address, and you get a satellite photo. You can zoom in close enough to see which cars are parked in the driveway. There's an interesting conspiracy theory connected with this particular site. It seems that when you type in the address of Apple's corporate headquarters, you get a picture of an empty lot. As much as I'd like to think that Bill Gates is behind that somehow, the truth probably lies in the fact that some of the satellite images are pretty old. When I looked at parents' house, I could see the swimming pool that they filled in almost ten years ago...
Look at this list: the of and to a in that it is was i for on you he be with as by at have. According to WordCount.org, those are the twenty most frequently used words in the English language. The site contains a mountain of meaningless information, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. You can peruse the list sequentially, search for a particular word, or even a particular ranking. In case you're wondering, "shotgun" ranks #12,559 and "daddy" sits at #4010. Sadly, "shotgundaddy" does not appear in the database. Perhaps in the next version...
