- Puppies and kittens aren’t the only cute animals on the internet: Washington Square Park has a hawk cam. There’s even a chat room dedicated to the hawks and their baby birds. This morning, hundreds of people were chatting about what to name the newborns. Awwwwww. [The New York Times Nest Cam]
- What’s not cute? A killer whale. What’s less cute than a killer whale? A killer whale submarine set to booming metal. [Hammacher Schlemmer]
- Google+ gets revamped, but I didn’t notice much of a difference. [Lifehacker]
- A question just posed on Quora, “What are the most frequently shoplifted books?” makes me realize there’s a serious dearth of material on this subject.

- By now, you’ve probably heard that the NEA plans to cut PBS’s budget on April 25th. This, while “a national study shows that Americans increased their attendance at arts programs in 2010, the first such rise in seven years.” [Philanthropy Today]
- Drumroll, please! Colossal was just nominated for “Best Art Blog” in the 16th Annual Webby Awards. Give him a vote! [Colossal]
- The internet is a dumping ground for great, lost ideas. For evidence of the internet-as-dump, look no further than this Angelfire page that lists every single phrase printed on a No Fear t-shirt. [Angelfire] [via Absis Minas]
