Websites!

Check out http://www.lettersofnote.com/ it is pretty cool!

Basically, from what I can tell, it is posting of interesting letters to or from people of influence in the world. There are letters from Lincoln, famous rappers, a whole variety of people. There is pictures of the original letters, coffee stains and all, and a typed out version so you can actually read the letters.

However I think the layout could be a bit more interesting. It is bland, just black and white with everything centered down the middle. No pictures, no differences in font. It makes it way less eye catching for a person who is just browsing.

So ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

Maybe this is just the uneducated and uncultured teenager in me, but this site was not even eye catching enough to make me want to read on. I saw Obama making some weird face with another dude who I assumed was also in politics and I was done.

Let's be real here ; I care enough about politics to know the outcomes of major elections, but thats about it.
