For the Wacky minded

You're On Notice! - The Stephen Colbert "On Notice Board" Generator - Oh, the possibilities before me....

For the Speed Racer fans

First look: 'Speed Racer's' demon on wheels - Via USATODAY. Speed Racer was my first introduction as a very young child that there was a whole different world to American cartoons...and It Was Good! Can't wait for this movie to come out. Might be a bit cheesy, but the nostalgia factor is pretty strong and the special effects should be outstanding.

For the Aubrey-Maturin (a.k.a. Master and Commander) fans

Aubrey–Maturin series - Via Wikipedia. All the info on all the books in the series. Good place to help sort it all out.

The Patrick O'Brian Mapping Project - Amazing use of Google Maps API mashups. If you are a fan of the Aubrey-Maturin series you HAVE to check this out. Patrick plots the adventures and sea-cruises from the characters and stories on Google Maps, and leaves notes from the novels. Truly an original and inspired use of Google Maps.

For the Abandoned Spaces explorers

russos: Подземная база подводных лодок, часть I - Which translates from Russian into something like "I'm in ur abandoned nuclear sub-base...stealing ur former seckrets!" Really Cool pictures...worth taking a quick peek at.

And for those confused with the TPS Report reference

Office Space - Via Wikipedia. The sleeper movie where the red Swingline stapler and TPS reports became part of geek pop-culture, and a youthful Jennifer Aniston becomes fed up with "flair."
