Hot: Traipsing about my collection of RSS links, as I am oft wont to do, I discovered one labeled Blackr. Despite the obvious Web 2.0 name, it struck me as curious and I proceeded. Blackr is described as a way to view Flickr content without all the noise of navigation, comments, and various whatnots. There [...]
Hot: In what can best be described as a very long pitch to get people to join a group called Question Authority on MondoGlobo, Phil Leggiere provides this timeline of the Bill of Rights during the Bush Administration. It does cite sources all along the way, such as the NY Times, Slate, and US Today, [...]
Hot: Cumul.us is a cute little site that shows you the weather for your area, lets you and people in your area make predictions on what the weather is going to be like in the near future and declare how you intend to equip yourself (clothing-wise) for said weather.

Of the 30 listed skins in the Mashable writeup, [...]
Hot: By now you may have seen the “seam carving” image editing video, demonstrating a new, kickass way of resizing images to retain the key elements and pick out threads that are “less relevant” to retain the overall feel of the original image. Thanks to the glory of my del.icio.us feed, I’ve found a flash [...]
Hot: Moving up in the del.icio.us ranks is a little site called Cork’d. The concept? “Review, Cellar, and Share Wine”. Internet savvy dipsomaniacs rejoice! Now you have a place to chat about your maddening obsession with fermented grape juice of various ages, with all the charms that only a Web 2.0 named site could provide. [...]
Hot: From the UN’s Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, and MonkeyFilter comes this link to a beautifully presented full translation of the Tale of Genji.
