Interactive Map: Where Americans Are Moving

At this map you can click on your county to see the population moving into or out of your area.  You can zoom in and move the map around.  Pretty interesting.

It shows many more people leaving Morgantown than moving in.  And it looks like lots of people from the northeast and southeast are relocating to Greenville, SC.  I can't wait until I'm one of them.

Creative Uses for Old T-shirts

I saw this bracelet on Etsy.com the other day and thought it was super cute.  I really don't wear jewelry, but this looks like it would feel soft and not irritate my arm.  And what a fantastic way to recycle old shirts!

The store is called simpletruths.  She also has t-shirt necklaces and crocheted earrings.

Code Organ

This website uses some complex formula to take a web page and translate it into music.  They're not masterpieces, but I found it fun to play with for a few minutes.

Squee!

There's a blog I love to check out everyday called Daily Squee!  It's the cutest most adorable pictures and videos of wee tiny critters you will see anywhere.  Like this guy (look at those cheeks!) -

Seedbombs

This is a very cool idea to encourage gardening and green spaces in urban areas.

"This nifty urban guerilla gardening project involves the duo retrofitting old quarter candy machines inherited by Karlsrud into homemade seedbomb — little balls of red clay, compost, and seeds — dispensaries. The goal? To help spruce up in-need-of-green communities around L.A. with indigenous plants."

A Minute in the Life

I found the link to this project on a blog I sometimes read.  This person used various social networking sites and asked people to take a picture between 2:00 and 2:01 pm Eastern Time on March 20, 2010, and send it to him.  This website shows the results.  It's a very cool idea.
