Just in case anyone had forgotten to put it on their calendars, he dies at dawn.

Another Zeitgeist wave that seems be rolling over us (aside from the previously mentioned celebrity porn) is the seemingly endless ingenuity being shown with maps as information interfaces. We've already reported on Google Maps, Find Cheap Gas, Buzztracker and Google Earth. Now comes Today's Front Pages which lets you scan a map of the world and browse literally hundreds of newspaper front pages from that day. There goes another 30 minutes I'll never get back.

Bobby Neel Adams has some engrossing and altogether unsettling images on his website that composite photographs of people from youth to maturity. It's a startling effect, and at once makes you realize how much changes, and how much stays the same (via Screenhead)

This is an appropriate post for right before the 4th of July weekend.

Jet1A has some very cool surfing imagery, from right here in the area. Bryce, the guy who runs the site, is a surfing nut. Like every day before and after work, down on Jersey shore.

He makes custom boards, too. Take a look.

Speak of the devil. Here's an example of that cool content I was just talking about. A guy named Steve Silver has posted his choices for the best movie from each of the 50 states. We could debate this for years. In fact, let's start now.

Last night's pep talk from GW didn't quite do it for ya? Feeling like we're in an irrecoverable tailspin and the only way off is to move to Canada?

Do something. Do something useful. anysoldier.com
Send a printout of your latest interview with a minor celebrity. Or something funny, maybe the story of your life, or some of those back issues of National Geographic that you bought so people thought you were smart, or that free sample of AXE deodorant (it didn't work with the ladies as advertised, anyway) Look at the site, pick any name on the list, buy a stamp, save the world by keeping that guy in the dust with the gun from going out of his mind from boredom, frustration and loneliness. It might feel good, heroic even.

Double Viking is an awesome site. Their content is great, and they subscribe to the tried-and-true Scaramouch philosophy of the more breasts the better. The point is...I have been ripping them off for weeks. And today they go and post a story about the KC interview and link to us.

Linking back is the least I could do.

For a good part of the 20th Century, the USA and USSR circled each other like two heavyweight boxers. Future generations will probably look back in shock that the two countries never came to blows.

But while the capitalists outlasted the communists in the Cold War, a recent incident might send the two former enemies back to the ring.

Following a meeting of American business executives and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin at Konstantinovsky Palace near St. Petersburg last Saturday, according to Russian news reports, [New England Patriots' owner Robert] Kraft showed his 4.94-carat, diamond-encrusted 2005 Super Bowl ring to the Russian president, who tried it on, then put it in his pocket and left.

Taking a Super Bowl ring off the finger of our greatest team's owner? That's like deploying nuclear missiles to Cuba. Worse, probably.

Hey everybody, this is the big day...why did KC leave the Howard Stern show.

Check out parts one and two if you like. OR skip ahead to the good part NOW!

What? You thought I wouldn't make a big deal out of this. What are you...on ritalin?

Pat Cooper may be A list, (Stern inside joke) but now .Scaramouch and I are B list, baby! Aquaman...Evil Rich...Clickity...you're on deck.

Blogebrity covers the KC interview. Nice.

And Scara, remember...what happens on B list stays on B list.
