If you haven't already, check out this site that
lets you create like Jackson Pollock. I did this
one myself. Just move the cursor around to drip
paint. The color changes everytime you click.
I've put a link over on the right under FUN if you
ever get the urge.

This is the man behind the music. You've probably heard
his lilting ukulele version of Somewhere Over The
Rainbow. It's featured in the Free Hugs campaign of
YouTube fame. His name is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole or "Iz"
for short. He was universally known and loved in his native
Hawaii. I say "was" because he died in 1997 at the age of
38. Can you picture a tiny ukulele lovingly and expertly
played by a 700 pound man with a beautiful voice?
