If you haven't yet checked out The Big Picture, you're missing out. Each entry is a series of huge wire photos that tell a story. Big photos on the Web - who knew that would work? In a mixture of programming and journalism that will no doubt become more common, The Big Picture was created by one of the Boston Globe's techies. Interesting interview with him here.
The Itch, a beautifully written examination of a curious phenomenon that affects us all and that, in very rare cases, can be deadly. Parts of it are - how to put this? - icky, but if you've ever felt the urge to scratch, read it. Via Kottke.
My friend Anthony has a new blog, dedicated to baseball cards that have seen better days. Along with a scan of each card, Anthony includes a bit of information about the player, like this: "(Willie) Mays had another great year in 1965 with 52 homers, 112 RBI and a .314 batting average. Remember when 52 homers was considered crazy?" I have this one and this one, although both are in better shape than Anthony's.
