Real world stuff
FDA to look into gene tests to be sold at Walgreen - On the one hand, I'm not sure how useful it'd be to know what sort of diseases are written into my genes, but on the other hand, it'd be pretty cool to learn about who I am on a genetic level.
1940s London in stunning hi-res colour - Colored photographs of London. Gorgeous!
grow house grow - Beautiful hand-painted wallpaper. The Victorian women with bugs is amazing - Wish I could afford it.
Video games
The Escapist: Phoenix Wright's Objection! - A comparison of the judicial system in Japan and the one portrayed in the Ace Attorney universe.
The Humble Indie Bundle experiment - A bunch of game developers created a packet of DRM-free games and are offering them at a name-your-own-price. Half the proceeds are being donated to charity. I purchased the bundle because I admire what they're doing and also because Samorost 2 is included and HOT DAMN was the first Samorost amazing. Samorost 1 is free and can be played in your browser; I highly highly highly recommend giving it a play through.
