Hump Day
Plus: Exclusive from Ted Baker |
 ‣ SOUNDS
A Mary Poppins sound sampling called Expialidocious, created by an ingenious young Aussie named Pogo, is crazily addictive and unaccountably affecting.
First Sounds, a collaborative of audio historians, features the earliest recorded sounds.
 ‣ IMAGES
Our first reaction to seeing Darvaz: The Door to Hell was 'hoax'. But now we're not sure. Strange if true.
Awkward Family Photos is a repository of same – cheerfully 'spreading the awkwardness' of badly coiffed and clad families posing for the camera.
 ‣ BABIES
The baby picture that's our main image today is from Awkward Family Photos (see above), voluntarily submitted by the adult version of the momentarily possessed baby – a good sport indeed. Yet there's more baby goodness to be surfed.
Shown with Pixar's Up, Partly Cloudy is an animated short about a dark cloud who may not create the gentlest baby animals, but who does his best. Adorable. Watch it here.

 ‣ BOOKS
Two public librarians catalogue Awful Library Books that includes things like Diseases from Space and Those Amazing Leeches.
Readernaut is a site in beta that lets you store notes about books you've read, review and rate them, see what other people are reading, and build a wishlist.
‣ FOOD
As its name suggests, Cake Wrecks shares every caketastrophe it can find: "Well job done!"
Looking for Quisp cereal? Or Skybars? How about Junket or Squirt? If you grew up on My-T-Fine pudding, nothing else will do. Pin your hopes on The Hard-to-Find Grocer.
