Due to a catastrophic hard drive failure, Miss Cellania is out of commission this week. I’ll be doing my very best to fill her big shoes and provide you with some great links.

Ever been told to “get a life”? Now you can—just buy Ian Usher’s. But hurry, only 6 days left!

  1. If I hadn’t read your description, I would have thought it was the usual poster today. Great job!

    That Lego Kennedy Space Center is AMAZING!!

  2. I second Benjamin! Great job!

  3. Too bad you posted that Smithsonian link. Now I won’t get anything else done today!

    I first read about it on mental floss, but if anyone likes the Smithsonian pictures, check out www dot shorpy dot com. It is a wonderful blog of old pictures, primarily from the Library of Congress archives. Great stuff.

    And I’ll agree with the others, this is quite a good Miss C impersonation!

  4. If Miss Cellania has big shoes, then I guess your feet are a match… Excellent job! I can’t wait to perform an animated autopsy! (shudder)
