An orchestra whose instruments consist entirely of vegetables.
And so it goes, and so it goes
"To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black."

Something about one of my favourite songs (one too painful to keep)
"In 1977, John sat in the presidential suite of the Okura Hotel in Tokyo and began singing and playing his old songs with his acoustic guitar. The gigantic hotel suite had lifts that arrived straight into the Lennon lounge. As John was playing "Jealous Guy" to himself, the lift doors opened and a Japanese couple — who had arrived on the wrong floor — walked out. They sat and listened as John continued the song. When the song ended, they seemed displeased and went back down the elevator. Little did any of them know it, but this was to be John's last ever 'public' performance. They were the last two members of the general public to ever watch John Lennon perform a song."

No particular reason. Or every reason there could be

Because they are cool, and because sometimes these can take your mind off less pleasant things

Still wondering if a PLE is really needed, or if a set of Web2.0 tools loosely linked is a better solution
are tell someone how you feel about them
or not tell someone how you feel about them
Any way you look at it, you lose.

Great minds think alike. So do fools.
On Friday, Jan. 26, two philosophers, MIT Associate Professor Agustin Rayo (The Mexican Multiplier) and Princeton Associate Professor Adam N. Elga (Dr. Evil) engaged in the Large Number Duel, in which they attempted to one-up each other by inscribing the largest finite number ever to be written on an ordinary-sized chalkboard. The feat, if successfully accomplished, would be worthy of a note in the Guinness Book of World Records.

It's not clear why the expression "what's written on the other guy's blackboard, plus one" wouldn't win...
nice collection of physics manipulatives/interactives/learning objects.
Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build. They are designed to fit on an 8.5"x11" page and printed with any printer. You’ll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time.

it's true, mostly.
Australia's Northern Territory is trialing Negroponte's $100 OLPC laptop
Some other jurisdictions seem entirely ignorant of anything that isn't marketed by people who'll take them out to an executive lunch.

mathematically based face morphing. Relatively simple linear algebra, nice manifestation in the real world.
