Michael Moore's website no longer has the mosaic of President George Bush made up of tiny images of the faces of american soldiers killed in Iraq. The original can still be seen here. Faces of the fallen at the Washington Post website has a continually updated image gallery of those americans who have died in Iraq.
Mind you, it seems to me that the whole thing would be even more useful as a form of anti-war rhetoric if the same kind of thing were to be done to include and mingle the faces of all the alliance soldiers, various agency and contract workers, and last but not least, all the iraquis killed in Iraq during the same space of time...
For some statistics you can follow the link to the antiwar.com website, where there are in fact some estimates of non-american dead too.

Er det her jeg hører til? Progetto interessante a Oslo
il progetto "Er det her jeg hører til?" ("è qui dove appartengo?") a Oslo ha come scopo di coinvolgere coloro che vivono e lavorono nelle varie quartiere della città, insieme con vari istituzioni della cultura locali (scuole biblioteche, musei, uffici rapporti con il pubblico ecc.) di partecipare nella creazione di uno spazio web che descrive la storia e "l'identità della vita quotidiana" di ogni quartiera.
Anche se il sito è tutto in norvegese è piuttosto facile navigare, e ci sono anche qualche immagini che offrono un po' di aiuto per capire il modo in cui ogni quartiere si autopresenta.

Stumbleupon: quite an interesting concept...
From the StumbleUpon home page:
StumbleUpon is a completely new way to surf the web. It lets you channel-surf pages which your friends and peers recommend.
Available for Windows, Macintosh & Linux
We are a community-based, word-of-mouth approach to websurfing – pages you "stumble upon" come from like-minded people who share your interests. Add the Toolbar, choose some topics and click Stumble! You'll meet people who like your favorite sites as you discover the best of the web.
From their "What is it?" page:
"StumbleUpon is a free browser extension which lets you channelsurf the web. It acts as an intelligent browsing tool for exchanging websites with friends and like-minded people.
StumbleUpon uses member ratings to form collaborative opinions on web site quality – you'll see only the sites that friends and like-minded stumblers have suggested. Unlike search engines or static directories it allows for a true "democracy of the web" – everyone has a say in which sites should be passed on."
