Check it out...

Google not only digitizes books, but magazines as well! Now available on Google, the ability to search the last 30 years of New York Magazine archives.

Save your money and take a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago next year to check out the Harry Potter Exhibition and check out the cool props and costumes from the movie.

Australia not only gets beautiful summer weather in December but also a National Portrait Gallery. Why can't Canada be more like our mates "Down Under"?

We do kind of have a Portrait Gallery of Canada, but it is more a division of LAC than anything. Not nearly as impressive as Australia's.

Canada was suppose to get a fancy new National Portrait Gallery like Australia, but the Harper government canceled it.

I was just telling my dad about that while we walked through the American Portrait Gallery, situated in a huge, lovely neoclassical building (like all of DC). Strange how little money/attention it's given in Canada! Also re: HP - I was wondering if someone would mention that :)
