he "largest and oldest" collection of natural sounds in the world is now digital and available online, Cornell University announced. The Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology houses a scientific archive of biodiversity audio and video recordings. Previously in analog format, the recordings - which go back to 1929 - are now completely digitized, and can be heard at MacaulayLibrary.org. "In terms of speed and the breadth of material now accessible to anyone in the world, this is really revolutionary," Greg Budney, Macaulay's audio curator, said in a statement. It took archivists 12 years to finish digitizing the collection, which has nearly 150,000 audio recordings that run a total of 7,513 hours, according to Cornell. The library features 9,000 species, including mostly birds, as well as whales, elephants, frogs and primates.

Looks like a good way to simplify communication for a small group (50 people or less). 

This is just for humor value, although somewhat cautionary.  It's a site with humorous errors found in textbooks.  

HTML5 enhanced summaries of events and topics across the 20th century. These look like good "clif notes" versions of historical events.

This focuses on using PowerPoint to mockup iPhone apps. These ideas can be used to create clickable prototypes for almost any type of application (Integrator anyone?).

A set of tools for prototyping iPhone apps that uses HTML, CSS and Javascript. Could be a good way to work through some stuff before fully developing it or, outsourcing something if we ever wanted to make our own app.

This is totally personal. Thought it was worth sharing to the group. You can order a photobook right from your iPhone of photos that you've taken with your phone. $20. Looks pretty nice.
