Someone just linked to a site I found a long time ago, but then after I brought it up in a conversation with Elisabeth (and maybe other people, I don't remember), I couldn't find it again. The site's The Brick Testament and it's the bible quoted verbatim and illustrated with legos.

And then fandom_counts, with its profile in 23 different languages, has almost reached 30,000 members in just a day. Oh fandom, how I love thee. Go join if you consider yourself part of any fandom.

Harvard Research Project Seeks LJ Bloggers for Summer Interviews

[researcherkate.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I'm a research assistant on the GoodPlay Project (http://www.goodworkproject.org/research/digital.htm), which is directed by Dr. Howard Gardner at Harvard University. Our research project has been funded by the MacArthur Foundation to study young people's use of the new digital media. We're seeking young bloggers such as yourself, between the ages of 15 and 20, to take part in a one hour, confidential interview at our offices in Harvard Square.

You will be paid $25 for participating in the interview, with the option of returning for a second interview (that will also pay $25). We will also reimburse you for your public transportation costs.

During the interview, you will be asked a number of questions about your blogging experiences, such as why you decided to start a blog, how often you post entries, what your blog means to you, and any noteworthy blogging experiences that you would like to share. You are free to share as much or as little information as you wish.

Your participation is completely voluntary and you may withdraw at any time without penalty.

If you are interested in participating, or if you have questions about our research, please email me at daviska@gse.harvard.edu. You can also find more information about our project by clicking on the link above, or by visiting my LiveJournal profile: http://researcherkate.livejournal.com/profile .

Sincerely,
Katie Davis
