Some things that I liked (some recent, some not at all, due to having been buried in drafts and such):

• The Bloggess celebrated 16 years of marriage (also relevant: her celebration after 15 years, worth reading first, which had me crying with laughter).
  
  
• A mom who schleps her six kids around Portland OR by bike.
  
  
• An online kosher meat place, that offers leg meat (not only the front half, in beef, lamb, and goat!
  
  
• The Black Rock City's farmers market has an Indiegogo campaign to return this year.
  
  
• A blind man who has taught himself to echolocate.
  
  
• A visually disturbing floor that wouldn't bother him.
  
  
• A compendium of offbeat places all over the world.
  
  
• An author attempting poses of women drawn on fantasy covers.
  
  
• The Finnish educational system was designed for equity, not excellence, but gets amazing results anyway. Oh, and teachers are respected and well paid, given autonomy and responsibility.
  
  
• How to be interesting, illustrated with nifty graphs and Venn diagrams, even.
  
  
• Bits of hidden history of the NYC subway.
  
  
• A map of US counties, by tweets of church vs beer (SF and Boson are highest beer tweeters).
