Couple things

First, having dumped on the Smithsonian in the last post, let me cheer them for putting over 6000 images on Flickr... most of which are public domain. There's a wicked Dunkelosteus skull and nearly 800 of Muybridge's motion photographs (cyanotypes).

Second, let me note the good work of Andrew Bartlett of the Australian Democrats, in raising awareness of the Queensland lungfish that is being threatened by the Queensland government's plans to build a probably useless dam. Thanks to Jason, who Has Connections, for the links.

hm, their categorization could use some work.
For example, check out the dinosaurs category, and count the non-dinosaurs.

but all told, it's a beautiful and wonderful contribution.
