Hot and cool

Third day in a row it's been in the 90s in the apartment and it's not cooling off much at night so I'm off to find a cooling center. But here's some links if you're cool and bored.

This is probably too obvious: 2010 Is Hottest Year So Far in recorded history of weather.

And now for the cool stuff. If you have any interest in Netroots Nation, coolest coverage and it's short, was Roy Edroso's Hunter Thompsonesque cranky posts.

Tom Tomorrow. Also cranky but always cool. Retirement is for losers.

I may the only one who thinks this is cool. Modern day jousting. (yes, in armor, w/ lances and on horses).

Love his work. Maxfield Parrish: Art and Illustrations.

And love his too. A weekly Edward Hopper painting.

Not sure if this was in Paris, but got the link from Eiffel Tower pics. I never get tired of fireworks. Very cool animation of a very big show.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter the world's largest maze.

And a stunning photo of Machu Picchu, Peru.
