test Plymouth
I thought you might enjoy taking a few minutes to time travel to the America of the Pilgrims, Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Plymouth you can visit both the Mayflower II, a recreation of the ship which the Pilgrims travelled to the new world and Plimouth Plantation, their recreated village.

Google Opt Out Feature Lets Users Protect Privacy By Moving To Remote Village
Sick of finding everything about you on Google except your shoe size? Maybe it's time for you to sign up for the Google opt-out village! While you might find it a little authoritarian, by clicking "opt-out" on the Google page (which summons the Google van to pick you up) might just be a temptation.
Do read the scrolling information as the video plays. There is important news there about how President Obama plans to slip universal health care into the iTunes user agreement.
h/t Bala, who's always hooked into the latest.

Web Cameras - Buttercow
BUTTERCOW CAM: Don't miss the unveiling of the Butter Cow. This years sculpture is really something unique, special and unlike anything that's been done at the State Fair before. Once the camera is turned on, you'll know why, you have to see it live. The butter cow has been an unofficial icon of the fair since the 1920's. 800 pounds of unsalted butter are used to sculpt the life size figure by hand over a wire and wood frame. The process takes about two days. After the fair, the butter will be removed and reused in another sculpture.
The Butter Cow can be seen in person in the dairy building from 9am to 9pm. | ![]() |

Survivor's Guide for Presidential Nominees

"Washington offers rare pleasures and satisfactions to senior and even mid-level executives on the president’s team: invitations to White House receptions and the Easter Egg roll, perhaps a seat at a state dinner, concert or lecture in the East Room. There are embassy parties, performances at the Kennedy Center, galas at Smithsonian museums, fireworks and festivals on the Mall, and family nights at the National Zoo. Then there are more quiet pleasures, such as walking beneath the cherry blossoms in springtime." -
