Home Again

It certainly is great being back in Seattle. San Diego was a wonderful place to visit but, as they say, there's nothing like home.

In the spirit of...."and now for something completely different".....I offer you the, uh, various fascinating -- or should I say, unpredictable -- sites listed in the Museum of Online Museums.

As you might expect, you can find links here to the -- uh -- conventional museums such as The Smithsonian, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Modern Art.

But MoOM offers much more and much less. Much more of interest and much less of the predictable.

For example, MoOM has links to:
The Fading Ad Collection
The Essential Vermeer
The Museum of Fred
Ansel Adams At 100
The Museum of Temporary Art

Interesting, yes....but there's more! Such as:
The Treasury of IBM-manufactured Clocks
The World's Largest Collection of the Smallest Things
The Candy Wrapper Collection
The Dome-A-Rama Gallery of Snow Globes

.....or...

The Gallery of Amish Buggy Plates
The Museum of Obsolete Computers
The Museum of Coat Hangers
and The Catalogue of Less-Known Superheroes
(and for the especially adventuresome among you: The Circus of Disemboweled Plush Toys!)

Now that's what I call a whole bunch of "somethings different"!
