I know this has been making the rounds fairly heavily, recently, but it’s a fascinating series! Rachel Sussman is searching for and photographing, you guessed it, the oldest living things in the world. Above is: Clonal Mojave Yucca (12,000 + years old; Mojave Desert, CA), Siberian Actinobacteria (400,000 years old; Neils Bohr Institute, Copenhagen) & La llareta (up to 3,000 years old, Atacama Desert, Chile).

I love that she has a well documented map, so one can perhaps find some of these for themselves (even to Antarctica!). You can also read about it in her blog.

Neat Links From My Father
My dad likes to email me cool things he finds on the nets… but, me saving them, fill up inbox so much. So in an effort to keep things clean and archive the interesting stuff Dad finds I’m making a little series. Thanks Dad and keep ‘em comin’ (some of these might look very very old to you)!
- OpenZine: online magazine publishing software.
- Matching tattoos of Comets, War and Love.
- I love me some New York jazz!
- More cool stuff from Read Write Web: Five Amazing Color Palette Generators.
- “It’s about some project called ‘Dear Lulu’ that attempts to illustrate the capabilities of digital printing.”
- Suggested gifts for Jack: subatomic particle plushies @ The Particle Zoo.
- NPR talks about “Perfecting the Art of Frugal Living in NYC.”
- New York Times’ Lessons From the Frugal Grand Tour.
- More Intelligent Life asks “Are Men Boring?”
- Story about the 125th birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Funny Mac Rant video. (Be sure and wait until the very end!)
