There's Fotos and then there's Photos

A cute title for their site the keepers of Fotos and Photos are travel photographers based in Brazil. They spend about 5 months of each year traveling and taking photos "documenting the cultural diversity and natural beauty we see." There photos are published in various cultural and travel magazines. They have a couple of free screensavers for download and their online galleries of photos are organized by topics like: Architecture, Portraits, Nocturnes, and more.

20 Pictures

You've heard of 20 Questions, Montage-a-Google uses 20 pictures. It builds a montage by stringing the first 20 hits from an Image Google search into a montage grid of 9 rows by # columns, where # refers to you picking the number of images per row. If you decide to print the image, I've found it seems to work best in landscape. Great for the latest film, celebrity, TV show, or just about any category of picture.

For the Military but not In the Military

You may have thought it would be interesting working for a branch of the armed forces but you just don't like the idea of wearing the same uniform everyday. Well there are lots of civilian jobs available in the military and the Civilians Working for National Defense site is just right for you. It provides information about this viable job market including job search and contact information.

Who and What Type of Accreditation

Looking for a college or grad school? What kind of accreditation does the school have? The United States government has the answer for you. At its accreditation site the Office of Postsecondary Education has the accreditation information on roughly 6,900 postsecondary schools.

Book of Art Communication

The story behind Book is kind of interesting. Four artists decided to create a book of art. After the first piece of art was entered, the book would be sent on to the next artist to add another work that might or might not be a response to previous entry. The art book was sent around weekly, with each artist mailing it to the next on Monday, receiving the book by Wednesday, then creating their work and sending the book on its way the following Monday. This continued for nine months. An interesting art project.
