• Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid.com wrote ‘How To Be Creative‘ back in 2004. The post is long but fantastic, it spoke to me at this point in my life and summed up a lot of my feelings. It’s the most popular blog on the site, so let that mean what you like.
• Amazing images in the form of Smoke Photography and Smoke Art, High Speed Water Photography and bubble blowing.
• What it feels like to be an atheist. DarkSyde on Daily Kos sums it up really nicely by using Santa as a metaphor for God.
• Kill some time guessing peoples ages, it’s addictive!
• Darren Rowse writes about how he was offered close to 1 million dollars for his Digital Photography School blog, and why he refused.
• Because everything in her home is waterproof, the housewife of 2000 can do her daily cleaning with a hose!
• Super funny parody of the Ready America website (and all other ‘what to do in an emergency’ websites).
• Blog The Entangled Universe tells a story which warns us of holding onto unhelpful thoughts.
  

  Two Zen monks were traveling. They came to a ford of a stream that was running high, and the current was strong and frightening looking.

  An attractive young lady was standing at the ford, looking nervous. She clearly was afraid to cross, but had an important reason to go.

  Without a word, the older of the two monks lifted her in his arms and waded across the stream, and placed her safely on the far bank.

  The younger monk looked shocked at this action, but kept his silence for quite some number of miles as they continued their journey.

  Finally, he blurted out “You know that it is against the rules of our order to have any contact with women. How could you do that?”.

  The older monk replied “I put her down when I reached the other side of the river. You, on the other hand, have been carrying her this whole way.”
