Again, not new- but new to me:

The ubiquitous computing concepts shown in the video make someone like me drool. It would seem that the future is flat, rectilinear, and white with pastel accents1.

From Michigan State University’s Brian Biodiversity Bank, The Human Brain Atlas looks like just the cool sort of thing that anyone with an interest in neuroanatomy would like to play with.

A YouTube user going by the handle of “TVLibrarian” is collecting and posting short clips of librarians and libraries from popular television programs. Neat!
