Japanese Garden
Los Angeles is such an amazing place. There’re all of these little nooks and crannies. You could probably spend several lifetimes exploring and still not find everything the city has to offer. For instance, straight up the 405, just in the San Fernando Valley, off of Burbank, there is this remarkably beautiful japanese garden. I…

Wonderful Days
The animation in the Wonderful Days trailor looks amazing. I don’t have any idea what the story is, but it sure looks pretty.

Letters to Theo
I’ve always kind of wanted to read through Vincent van Gogh’s letters to his brother Theo. Van Gogh’s Letters Unabridged & Annotated looks like a fantastic resource. Excuse me while I go lose myself for hours.

Strong Bad
Strong Bad’s E-mail is funny. That’s funny with a capital F.U. N. Truthfully, a bunch most of them are lame, but every 10th one or so you find one that just kills you it’s so good.
