Back in the summer, Chris from Free Delivery posted a series of slides that he found in a garage sale [1][2][3][4][5]. A couple of minutes ago, a co-worker reminder me of a site called Found Magazine. It's a site that collects notes and photos and other lost items and posts them online. It's always amazing what you might find laying around.

What is hot in the news right now, this hour? And how can a view that pictorally in 100 images or less?

Check out 10x10, it defines the times in pictures and words.

10x10™ ('ten by ten') is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life.

10x10 is ever-changing, ever-growing, quietly observing the ways in which we live. It records our wars and crises, our triumphs and tragedies, our mistakes and milestones. When we make history, or at least the headlines, 10x10 takes note and remembers.

Each hour is presented as a picture postcard window, composed of 100 different frames, each of which holds the image of a single moment in time. Clicking on a single frame allows us to peer a bit deeper into the story that lies behind the image. In this way, we can dart in and out of the news, understanding both the individual stories and the ways in which they relate to each other.

Last night, I officially started my Christmas shopping. In the past, I use to do all my shopping on the couple of days preceding Christmas, but as I have grown older and wiser, I've found that starting at the beginning of November is much easier on my sanity and pocketbook.
