"Closer to the Sun" by Slightly Stoopid ~ I love Slightly Stoopid! This is one of my favourite songs by them; the guitar and drums instantly get your body grooving. Any song from this band reminds me attending Uni and how I used to put them on all the time when my roommates and I were hanging out. I actually got to go to a concert of theirs with my family a couple of years ago - that was a ton of fun and had some great opening bands! The venue also had really good, and cheap, corndogs.
FireHydrant.org ~ Fire hydrants aren't something I think about too much aside from avoiding them when parking or imagining a dog peeing on one, but still thought this site, which has been around since 1998, was cool since there's thousands of images of different hydrants with some over them being from the 1800s even. I always love a good site on special interests, especially when there's some focus on the history. It is interesting to see all the different styles of hydrants, but how many of those styles haven't changed in the last 100 years. There's also lots of different links to other hydrant related links, like manufacturer and supplier sites or art and other picture collections.
