Looking for a flight?
Looking for the best flight to your destination can be a painful experience. hipmunk aims to fix that by presenting one of the best user experiences I’ve seen for this type of application. By providing a Gantt chart-like UI that’s easily sortable (by price, stops, times, and agony—no joke!), you can see at a glance which flight works out best for you.
If you prefer the standard table text presentation of sites like Priceline, Travelocity or Expedia, why not cut to the chase and use, Matrix2, the search engine that all of those sites use:

The Four Chord Song [Axis of Awesome]
I’ve complained for many years now that all pop music is composed of the same chord progression. I even went as far as to demo this for friends with a handful of songs.
The Axis of Awesome takes this to the ultimate level with way more than a “handful” of songs.
Thanks for the link, Angelo!
Bound for Glory: America in Color
This is an amazing collection of color photographs taken during the Great Depression prior to World War II.
From The Denver Post:
These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.
Great find, James!
