BecomingHuman.org is the home for a new 'interactive documentary' that traces the multi-million year process that brought us out of pre-historic trees and into modern skyscrapers. Narrated by renowned paleontologist Donald Johansen, it traces the development of human activity to its origins. It is broken down into several sections, Evidence, Anatomy, Lineages, and Culture, and is as instructional and interesting as any PBS documentary. becominghuman.org -------------------------------- Tracking your Email ReadNotify.com is a neat tool for tracking your emails, and the best part is that it's currently provided free of charge!

He is the educated everyman, having espoused the truth about politics and big business for years through books, films and his own television series. 'The Awful Truth' is filled with sarcastic and poignant episodes that expose purveyors of injustice in American Society for what they are, politicians, corporate types and cops. Those who aren't familiar with his work are in for a wild ride, while those who are already fans can enjoy his incisive humor and commentary. michaelmoore.com ------------------------------- Around the World in 80 Clicks Computer programmer turned flight attendant, Boris Kester, has taken on a third endeavor; documenting his travels around the world through his website TravelAdventures.org. Despite the thousands of miles he has traveled, the hundred countries he has visited, and the countless number of tourist attractions he has seen, Boris manages to report on these exotic places with the innocent excitement of a first-time traveler. He shares his journeys through photographs and personal stories, usually focusing on a piece of art or architecture in each city. The site is self-funded, which empowers it with a quality of sincerity that makes visiting it so special. traveladventures.org -----------------------------Source: The Cool Tricks and Trinkets Newsletter offering weekly insights into new, cool, useful, fun, unusual and interesting sites on the Internet. tricksandtrinkets.com
