This post picks up where my previous one left off. Here’s the good stuff:

• Do you like old printing presses, or the quality print jobs in old, rare books? Then you’ll love this video of a small press that still uses the old methods to create some amazing results. (You’ll need Quicktime to view it.)
• John Dvorak is a Mac troll. And I bet he’s drooling for an iPhone as well.
• Check out the Google Maps directions from NYC to Dublin.
• Did you know raw milk is illegal in many states in the US? Neither did I, until now, but I think it’s a very silly thing. Check out the stance of the public official quoted in the article. You’d think the guy was talking about terrorists, not some stuff we find in the supermarket. Remember the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld? See any similarities?
• This article made serious waves when it came out a few weeks ago. The Washington Post arranged for one of the world’s best known violinists, Joshua Bell, to sit in a DC metro station and play on his violin — a Stradivarius. The music was classical, but extremely moving. Would people stop and listen? Would they realize what they were hearing was amazing? Check out what happened.
• Back in April, Johnny Hart, the cartoonist who created B.C. and Wizard of Id, died. Rest in peace, Mr. Hart!
• Look At This has a series of “Monkey-ed Movies” on their blog. They’re parodies of movies and television programs done entirely with chimps. Funny stuff!
• Keith Washington was, or may still be, Prince George county’s deputy homeland security director. He is also trigger happy to the extreme, and can pull his gun on you at any time. He’s shot up two furniture delivery men in his home, and also pulled his gun on a real estate appraiser as the man took photos of his home. Someone tell me how this guy got the job. Or is the Homeland Defense department purposely looking for these sorts of people?
• IKEA makes prefab houses, and they’ve begun to make them available in England.
• This is a great video of the real estate house prices from 1890 to the present, adjusted for inflation, and plotted as a roller coaster ride.
• A drunk guy fell under a passing train in Cologne, Germany. After the train went over him, he got right up and kept on going. That’s one lucky dude.
• Beware the bot fly and its larva. This is NOT something you want to experience. There’s also a video to go along with that.
