Many of them brought to you by Stumbleupon.com

This is my lame attempt to make up for some down time due to illness and Oregon heatwave issues, and so I am struggling to catch up in real life, here and on livejournal... bear with me.

I'll be needing some of this music for my planned gypsy-spirit trek next June. No, it's not gypsy music, it's world music, my vehicles and art workspace all run on world music....

This is a fun site filled to the brim with fun stuff to cruise while sipping your morning coffee... or late night coffee in my case... the art section alone will take you days of skimming. Fun stuff, truly.

The truly cool photography of a young photographer named Eric M. Gustafson, worth a look see, if he keeps turning out photographs like these he is gonna make his own niche in the world.

Monkeysee is a bonanza of how2 videos on everything from cooking, (great international cooking videos btw)... to changing a light bulb to repairing a broken window... and of course there's important stuff like step by step instructions where you can learn how to build your own computer

This is the most amazing tribute by a son for his father, a photo journal of a young man's interactions with his 98 year old father. It is truly a touching tribute as he documents his father's end of life journey with dementia and remembers what he use to be like. Sorta tricky to navigate, scroll down till you see the bottom of the picture and click on it to get to the next page... many of the pics have notations along the left side....

This one's for Ramie Vegan recipes to torment Brian with....lol. The rest of you can use it if vegans come for dinner and you have no idea what to cook for them. Some of them actually look rather yummy!

A fun collection of unusual statues from around the world... shame on them for omitting Portlandia.

And last but not least, THIS, just because everyone should have this bookmarked for future reference.
