... to highlight some great recent posts:
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.
New Linkme
Oh hey, the current LinkMe thread is here (for links that are interesting but may not work as a front page post, or beginning point / idea for someone else to make a front page post).

Are you drawn to any combination of interesting tidbits about Australia, fascinating flora and fauna, natural history, and huge, fierce, flightless birds with blingy plummage, funky headgear, deadly talons, and an hypnotic stare? If yes, may I refer you to chariot pulled by cassowaries' entire body of work? Today we have the felicitous birth of a VIP (Very Important Puggle).

MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
