I collect little things all year, clipping from websites in my Evernote, saving or favoriting posts in my rss feedreader. These are things I don’t want to forget, but I do, until when things seem to slow down at the end of the year, I clean out all my files. I ‘liked’ the Boing Boing post “Library of Congress releases 11,700 freely usable photos of “roadside America,” taken by John Margolies” back in September, because I love the type of old road-side attractions that used to make up the bulk of Florida’s tourist activities back in the day. Of course, Florida doesn’t have a monopoly on these and John Margolies photograph collection at the Library of Congress beautifully captures a whole country’s worth of strange and lovely (gallery).
