So aside from photo.net, flickr, ccmixter, freesound, deviantart, what are good sites that allow hosting of images/audio/etc resources?
Particular those sites that combine aspects of social networking and content hosting. Bonus points if it includes hooks for free/open/cc content.
I suppose youtube counts for video, to some degree. Are there similar sites for say, 3d models?

the words will make you out and out
Roundabout by a high school “showchoir”.
Avert your eyes.
I’m not sure what a “show choir” is, but I think it is safe to say they should be destroyed.
And just for kicks, high school band plays Genesis’s “Dance On A Volcano”. In comparison to the above, not bad.
Stevie Wonder playing the Sesame Street theme on Sesame Street
Superstition from the same show.
Thats pretty awesome.

The other other constitution
I sometimes find myself getting into discussions about the US Civil War. Typically, someone will insist the war was about states rights, and not about slavery, as the historians would have you believe. I generally consider this bullshit, or at best, “spin”.
So I found this Comparison of the USA and CSA constitutions interesting. Basically, aside from one or two trade related changes, the major changes are about slavery.
Now of course, there is a heck of a lot more to the matter than just the constitution, but interesting none the less.
bonnaroo
Back from Bonnaroo.
A couple friends rented an RV and headed up. Seemed like it might make for an interesting trip, and it was.
It was, however, a long drive. I realized I had never ridden in, nor driven an RV before. And this one was 32 feet.
On the way there, I drove from east of Knoxville (site of the 82′ Worlds Fair) to just outside of Manchester, TN. About 3 1/2 hours and about 35 gallons of gas. Ouch.
Our RV got searched on the way in. Well, sort of. They made us remove any glass bottles, and made a vague check for drugs. But to quote the cop/security/whatever “Thats a lot of bags.” So more of a lookover than a search, but it did delay us for a hour or so.
Setup the RV in it’s spot (in the “Marcellus Wallace” lot). At this point it became clear that this was a large festival, since we drove for about half a mile on the grounds to our spot.
Managed to see lots of bands. Nickelcreek, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Oysterhead, Les Claypool and His Fancy Band, Bela Fleck And The Flecktones, Buddy Guy, Bill Frisell, Jerry Douglas, and many more.
Maybe I’ll write up more detailed thoughts later. I think Nickelcreek or Oysterhead were probably my favorites. Radiohead was overrated.
The trip back was long. I took the driving shift through the mountains. Basically east of Knoxville (still the site of the 82′ Worlds Fair) to Hickory. Got back about 7am Monday morning. Took a much needed shower.

In a few hours, I’m piling into an rv and heading to the Bonnaroo Music Festival for the weekend. Should be interesting.
