Alright, it's been a semester since I've updated this thing.  I'm not really a blog person, except responding to other people's blogs, but I think I'll post the occassional thought provoking article on here.  Who knows, maybe it will become an information resource for my epic sci-fi series "Eternal War", or my web comic "Swordman", neither of which have I started because I'm so damn lazy.  But I assure you, the ideas are there!

Anyway, I found this link very moving, despite the fact that no one else seems to.  Take a look at what years these photographs were taken.  They look could have been taken yesterday.  Being able to see these old cultures and places in such beautiful detail is like the closest thing we have to time travel.  (And luckily for me this photographer happened to take pictures of exactly the stuff I would if I were able to go back in time)  I found it fascinating, and almost choked up when I saw some of the people pictured.  Ah yes, the link:

Mmm, Library of Congress.  See this is what our taxes should go to.

P.S. Apparently I now have two Xangas.  Not exactly sure what to do about that...
