Here's a couple of interesting things I've seen on the internets recently. Unrelated by anything other than the fact that I thought they were interesting. Both links found via facebook. One from a FOAF, the other from XDU's very own DJ Mythic Horse.

Check out these color photos from 1909. Yes, that's what I said. I might have known there were color pics from that early but I didn't know any had survived in such good condition. If I read that article correctly, that's the only color photo of Tolstoy ever taken. Pretty amazing stuff. And, yes, there's still a part of me that's surprised that the past wasn't actually black & white.

Also, here's an awesome article from Gourmet about using Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies in the kitchen. What do I need to add to that?
