A search engine for Calvin and Hobbes comics. I know we've all been in the situation where we want to reference a particular comic online, but we can't seem to find it just by searching quotes... Well, for Calvin and Hobbes at least, this is no longer an issue, because this person has kindly transcribed all the comics to allow you to search them.

A blog about astronomy that updates every Monday. Discusses various aspects of the physics of the night sky, and also has a lot of pretty night sky / space photos!

Sky Lights is a weekly blog about things you see in the sky (and some you can’t see). That covers a wide range of disciplines including: astronomy, meteorology, climatology, chemistry, physics, optics, earth & space science, and others. We’re also concerned about light pollution, and what can be done to preserve the darkness of our night sky.

I mean I don't really have anything to add here. This is just good content.

If the Beatles were a sitcom, what would the little snippets of music that play over the establishing outside shots of buildings sound like? Finally, this burning question that we've all wondered about can be answered.

It's actually shocking how well this effect works on these songs. I'm not sure if it's a quality peculiar to early Beatles songs or if you could do this with other pop albums too...

The creator of this has done this to other Beatles albums as well, spread across various video platforms due to copyright -- A Hard Day's Night is on YouTube, and the rest can be found on their Dailymotion page.

A classic. Must be seen to be believed. Resist the temptation to skip to the end - it's worth it, I promise.

Blog of a person who discusses her thoughts and opinions on the various indie songs that gets stuck in her head.

Earworms can be annoying, but there’s something really special about them too. Maybe these won’t be songs that would get lost in everyone’s ears, or top your year-in-review charts, but if you’re an indie-freak like me (alla Fleet Foxes, alla Snail Mail, alla Beach House), they may have a way of squirming and sticking around a while like a friendly little ghost.

As someone who also listens to a lot of indie music and has a primarily song-stuck-in-head mode of interacting with music, I really appreciate this blog!

Page that indexes the type and location of every(?) fossil that's been found throughout the world, on a map. You can also search by taxonomy. I'm not totally sure how to read the information that pops up when you click a fossil entry, but even just looking at the patterns of distribution on the map is very interesting.

Website where you can select a song and it will generate a probabilistically "infinite" version of the song where it jumps back and forth between similar sections of the song. It's pretty impressive how well it works. It effectively simulates the feeling of having a song stuck in your head looping over and over. I'm a big fan.

To play a custom song, select "Pick a song" at the top. For some reason that button doesn't seem to show up on phone so go here to pick a song. Probably my favorite I've found so far is "No Sunlight" by Death Cab For Cutie, since that song is repetitive enough to link together in funny ways, but distinct enough in different parts that it doesn't just sound the same.

[Update: as of 2024/04/09, this site seems to have gone down. People periodically reupload mirrors of the tool though (with varying degrees of 'actually working'), so if I find another mirror of it that works I might update this.]

A blog about various types of moths that's been going for over 15 years and is still active! It's specifically about moths that the blog proprietor spots and takes photos of around where he lives in England, which is pretty fantastic. It's always great to see someone so committed to sharing their passions like this.

A short film adaptation of the famous spooky internet story. I'm pretty impressed by the production value and professionalism on display here!
