ClipWeek: The Steamship Porthole

This week TechCrunch called Clipmarks a steamship porthole to the web. I can dig that -- catching glimpses of the web as it floats by clip by clip...

Looking through the Science porthole this week, we saw plans for a space magnet, the dangers of lunar dust and what some are calling the fabric of the universe. We saw a man made object with the thickness of a single atom and learned that man made blood may be better than the real thing.

In Technology we saw a computer-controlled pigeon and a computer you can wear on your wrist. We read about the death of rabbit-ear TVs and the importance of exploring virtual worlds.

In Entertainment, we met Disney's first black princess and learned of the FBI file that links Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe's death. And the Health porthole taught us that friendships keep you healthy, napping doesn't keep you up at night and duct tape will not make warts disappear.

The most fun can be wading through the sea of randomness. Here's the woman who chose to wed a corpse and the man who was forced to marry a goat. Here's the mysterious grooved spheres showing up in South African mines and the tallest waterfall in the world. Here are the top 10 dating mistakes, quotes on life, cats and Mark Twain on polygamy.

As we clip the web piece by piece and discover it clip by clip, we really are creating and enjoying portholes to the web. Best of all, the S.S. Clipmarks is still just pulling out of port.
