The end of Rice-Boy. T.O.E, Angel Eye, Calbash (alas we hardly knew ye) and Rice-Boy have ended their adventure. 2 years 1 month and two weeks after the start. Evan Dahm produced one of the most engaging and beautiful webcomics over the past two years and it has concluded. A moment of silence......... Ok now, the good news. Rice-Boy is done, but further Overside stories are likely. YAY.

Yes! You too can be the proud owner of this fabulous piece of medical technology!

10 (11) interesting/historical recordings. From List Universe. This site uses the term "Top ten" but as with anything when you talk in absolutes people get pretty ornery, so lets just say here are 11 very interesting sound files, from exorcism to castrato.

Sue Carpenter is a photo journalist from the United Kingdom. She has been working with abused and neglected girls in Nepal teaching them photography skills in an effort to give them an expressive voice. Here are 12 examples that will be included in an upcoming exhibit. Related to this, on a wider scope is the notion that the overwhelming majority of photos from developing countries are taken by outsiders, i.e. Americans and Europeans. Dubbed development pornography (SFW) this is perhaps to be somewhat expected because of the levels of income differences. However, there are emerging efforts to address this disparity. Included globally is Majority World and Kijijivision. Regionally - Pathshala, South Asia. Specifically - Out of Focus, Bangladesh.
