I've haven't written much lately so here are so I'll do a little catching up tonight.
I loved The Angels Retirement Speech, by Annie Farnsworth, which appeared on The Writer's Alamanac.

Very odd. Walking on water -- I still snort at the line in the article which said "Anyway, the pontoons are tethered to each other so the walker’s legs don’t spread apart and make him look like an idiot. Can’t have that happening can we?" There was a whole article in the NY Times covering this idea a while later.
Great random quote. "In the future, everyone will be on the TSA's no-fly list", Coyote Blog -- My Follow-up to Andy Warhol.
Oddly compelling art from nuclear weapons testing.
One more poetry link for good measure. The rest of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
And for the avid do-it-yourselfer in the audience ... Build your own computerized etch-a-sketch. Man I wish I had the free time to build one of these.
