I ran across this website, Stuck In Customs, a few years ago. The website’s creator, Trey Ratcliff posts HDR photographs of many different places around the world. His pictures are stunning and he allows anyone to download the hi-res versions of his photographs. Check it out!
In early November I ran across a book called Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter. I began reading that book recently. Every page seems to be a remarkable insight into the universe. Highly recommended as one of the best books I have ever opened. Check out the following music by Bach: Musical Offering, Never-ending Canon, Die Kunst Der Fuge (The Art of Fugue), and Kleines harmonisches labyrinth (Little Harmonic Labyrinth). To complement the book, I purchased the The Art of Fugue by Bach and Tatiana Nikolayeva. The book explains the concept of Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems and their relationship to cognition.
