Found this site.  It's the French equivalent of Project Gutenberg, but the quality is a lot better.

How can you get higher quality text files?

They're PDFs that don't look like they've been typed in wordpad.

Oh, I see.
I usually keep my ebooks as epub files, which are just formatted text files. They also work better with various ebook readers.

Sweet, Video game Live (The game music orchestra) is being shown on PBS.

Fuck yes.

[Elegy]

my memories from last night stop at about 11 PM, after I got to a party. Woke up at 8 AM on a couch in someone else's house than the party was at.

Get back to my dorm, check my facebook, I have a new wall post:

"Our meowing kitty a capella group was the highlight of my night/life..."

Yesss.

The Sniper checked to see if his rifle was charged, and took careful aim. He fired, sending a bullet flying out the window of his base, over the train yard, and into the window of the BLU base. The bullet knocked the chocolate bar right out of the Heavy's hand, just as he was going to take a bite. The Heavy's eyes went wide, and he looked around, dumbfounded. The Sniper laughed heartily, before seeing the Heavy shrug and draw a second chocolate bar from his pocket. The Sniper considered shooting away this one too, but figured there was no point. The BLU team's refrigerator was probably as stuffed full of food for the Heavy as the RED's. The Sniper could always just shoot the Heavy in the head, but there'd be little point in that, either. He'd respawn by the time they attacked the BLU base again.

EDIT:

"What in the Hell just happened?" He demanded.

"Where did the building go?" asked the Heavy.

"Where is me bloody bottle?" the Demoman yelled, searching frantically.

Oh god nostalgia.

[Solifuge]

Oh god nostalgia.

Wow... nostalgia indeed. Pretty well put-together too. Kinda reminds me of the stuff from the TV Show.

Which is better, avatar pic or this one?
Can you easily figure out what the yellow thing is supposed to be?

EDIT:

Added transparency. It's SUPPOSED to be a plasma blaster...

[ToonyMan]

If you know how to use transparent you can make the avatar look better.

My avatar was originally a .jpeg so I can't do transparent without it looking really rough.

Torch?

[Vector]

Jawbreaker.  Clearly.

[Acanthus117]

Dude, Toony changed his avatar back, fuck yes!

[ToonyMan]

Need to keep a persona.

[Armok]

The one with green eyes and a medal.

My friend introduced me to a set of photographs taken of the Russian countryside. They're fantastic photos, but that's not all that's cool about them.

Spoiler: Take a wild guess at when these photos were taken. (click to enlarge) (click to show/hide)

These were taken roughly 100 years ago, by a special camera using 3 colored filters and separate film negatives. They are some of the oldest color photographs in existence, but they've never been able to be viewed this way until recently, using digital technology. Freaking amazing stuff.

[ToonyMan]

Holy crap those are amazing, then I read those photos are over 100 years old.

Wow.
