Sneezes

Now that I've gotten my fill of exhortations to wash my hands and cover my mouth when I sneeze (thank you, RSS updates from the CDC), I'm expanding my RSS horizons to include the library realm. I've just subscribed to the Library of Congress blog--which is called: Library of Congress Blog. I was afraid it would be a tad dry, but the first post sent to my Google Reader was "YouTube and Now We Do Too" (which only makes me cringe a little) about the LoC's YouTube channel. They are uploading some of their vast archives to YouTube as well as making them available on http://www.loc.gov/. So, for those of you already addicted to their Flickr stream, here's some more vintage-y goodness for you. Evidently the first moving image ever recorded was of some guy sneezing--which makes this blog post nice and circular, I think.
