- Call for Submissions: Carnival of the Arid --
Submissions should have something to do with a desert somewhere in the world. ... scientific in nature, or history, or travelog. Images are welcome, photographic or otherwise.

Nice list, I'm going to freak my flatmates out tonight by spending several hours in quiet contemplation of the humble potato...
Having fun with the impact calculator too :-)
