Mental_floss Blog » He Took a Polaroid Every Day, Until the Day He Died. I came across a slightly mysterious website -- a collection of Polaroids, one per day, from March 31, 1979 through October 25, 1997.
There's no author listed, no contact info, and no other indication as to where these came from. So, naturally, I started looking through the photos. I was stunned by what I found. In 1979 the photos start casually, with pictures of friends, picnics, dinners, and so on. Here's an example from April 23, 1979 (I believe the photographer of the series is the man in the left foreground in this picture): ://lyssa.org. Welcome to the Ultimate Tree-Ring Web Pages! The Science of Tree Rings More than just counting ...
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Science of Tree Rings web pages, designed to be the ULTIMATE source for information on the science of Dendrochronology. I've designed these pages to be easily understood by people at all levels of education, from elementary school students to high school students, from first grade teachers to college professors. You won't find the fancy Flash-driven pages here anymore — I want these pages to be readable, enjoyable, and (most of all) educational for all, especially those with learning and physical disabilities.
My goal ... My goal is to make available as much information about dendrochronology as I can possibly find on the Internet, from the basics of tree-ring dating, to reference and bibliographic information, to products and supplies, to books, and more! My philosophy ... I believe that a scientific discipline is only as efficient and important to society as the information available to it.

Why Save PBS? - Chris Bishop on yay!everyday. Raymond Robinson (Green Man) Raymond "Ray" Robinson (October 29, 1910 – June 11, 1985) was a severely disfigured man whose years of nighttime walks made him into a figure of urban legend in western Pennsylvania.
Robinson was so badly injured in a childhood electrical accident that he could not go out in public without fear of creating a panic, so he went for long walks at night. Local residents, who would drive along his road in hopes of meeting him, called him The Green Man or Charlie No-Face. They passed on tales about him to their children and grandchildren, and people raised on these tales are sometimes surprised to discover that he was a real person who was liked by his family and neighbors.[1] Robinson was eight years old when he was injured by an electrical line on the Morado Bridge, outside of Beaver Falls, while attempting to view a bird's nest. The bridge carried a trolley and had electrical lines of both 1,200 volts and 22,000 volts, which had killed another boy less than a year earlier.
Lectures/documentaries. Inverted World. This is what the world would look like if the world's areas of land and water was "inverted".
Apart from having a incredible amount of landmasses, there are a number of interesting geological features. Like the huge English Lake, The Great Asian Ocean, and The huge Gulfstream Mountains. The world's power centers are also somewhat different. The North Atlantic States, the Indian Kingdom and the South Atlantic / Pacific kingdoms is sure to form the greatest financial and military centers.
