I love this tool that allows you to link directly from Flickr to your blog. Thanks to Leslie for pointing it out!
This photo was taken by my very talented friend William. He is a photographer who is into toy and antique cameras. You can see more of his work on Flickr here.

I saw you on CSPAN...
You just have to love a music video that checks CSPAN AND universal health care reform. Well, ok, maybe you don't have to - but I do! I know this is a well-worn YouTube phenomenon, but I can't help but post the "I've got a crush on Obama" video, featuring Obama Girl:
Of course, now there are a ton of spin-offs, from the Romney girls to McCain mama. But this one remains the most amusing, I think.

Identifying peer-reviewed research on the Internets
From the ScienceBlogs consortium comes this interesting idea: what if there was an icon that allowed bloggers to signify when they are discussing/citing peer-reviewed research? More details and discussion is available here.
It's an interesting idea & one that I was surprised to run across. Obviously, this is something that science bloggers, or academic bloggers in general, would be concerned with...I doubt that Go Fug Yourself is really concerned with such issues (although I would love to read a peer-reviewed article that dealt with heinous fashion crimes by celebrities).
Anyhow, it's good to know that it's not just librarians who are so worked up about such things.
