Singing in the Rain. This Visual Guidance Ltd site looks like it could suck up a lot of time. Right now, it has videos of The Astronauts doing Firewater in what looks like someone's living room, Bert Kaempfert, Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass, the Mary Jane Girls... and that's just today's entries.

Paul Ford's New Years resolutions. I'm surprised he didn't submit them to McSweeney's. They would have loved it.
