Cool Stuff Friday, no. 1

Friday’s topic is “Cool Stuff!” As we’ve discussed in class, your assignment is to roam the web (or make use of a good scanner) and find interesting items that pertain to the two cultures that we’ve studied this week—Native America and Africa. You’ll need to find at least three separate items to post, and they need to be posted in such a way that others can experience them as fully as you have (i.e. any links must actually link, any downloaded pictures must actually load, any musical selections must actually play, and so forth.) Embedded videos and pictures are always preferable to links that take you elsewhere, unless you have a good reason for wanting us to go to that "elsewhere." Also write up a few sentences about each of your items--why you thought it was interesting, what led you to find it, what relevance it has to our class, or anything else that seems interesting and relevant (obviously, the 400-500 word goal isn't in play here). Feel free to get help from anyone you can if you consider yourself technologically challenged.

I'm tempted to post some Cool Stuff of my own, but I don't want to steal anything that you might find! So post away, and if I come up with anything that no one found, I'll include it in a later post.
