Desert Storm



Top Men posted a series of photos of a Iraqi sand storm about a year ago. Now here is a video. Pretty amazing - particularly how dark it gets at the end.

Panoramio



After a brief hiatus, Top Men are back with Panoramio - kind of a Google Maps meets Flickr. Upload your photos, and pin them on the map where they belong. You can search by tags, or see other photos in the area.

Top Men uploaded a few aerial shots. Here is one of them.

You can also access the photos via Google Earth with this KML file.

(Thanks Terry)

Spirograph



Top Men spent many childhood hours mesmerized by the patterns and frustrated by the limitations of the good old Spirograph. We've provided for your amusement, links to several small web application that served to remind us of the childhood wonder.

Link 4

But somehow the hands-on, tactile requirement of the original, as frustrating as those slipped-gears could be, is still much more satisfying.

There's always eBay.

And for those who are clueless... Spirograph.
