Not like I needed another place on the internet to spend my time, but you have GOT to see this!

World Digital Library went online this week. It's free. It's accessible. And it's flippin' awesome!

Stuff like this...

And this...


And Nnamdi Azikiwe's speech on the day Nigaria became an independent state under the British Commonwealth on October 1st, 1960. I've just provided the cover. If you want to read it you have to go here...you can even download the pdf for reading at your convenient leisure.


8000 years of history at your fingertips...downloadable, sharable, legible, enjoyable by any and all with internet access. Wow. What a concept.

I found the Declaration of Intention of the real Maria von Trapp.

Sweeet!
