From time to time, we pass around e-mails with links to things we find inspirational, touching and resourceful. Other times, we pass around interesting links we like to laugh at or links that pique our curiosity.

Here are some click-worthy URLs* floating around in our office inbox (much thanks to our Information Architect, Chris Rodriguez):

An Ode to Comic Sans: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/monologues/15comicsans.html
Comic Sans strikes back in this fictional monologue/rant to his “snooty” font friends. Warning: this link contains expletives.

Shiny Suds / Creepy Bubbles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ONVUdYjDwM
This is not your typical bathroom cleaner commercial. Parents, we’d give this video a mild PG rating, but it surprisingly sends a good, overall message.

Visualizing the BP Oil Spill in Your Area: http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/
In Washington State, the BP oil spill would cover almost all of Western Washington. At our offices in Athens, Georgia, the BP oil spill visually covers over half of Georgia State. Take a look to see how much of your area would be covered by the spill.

IBM’s Watson vs. Jeopardy! Players: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC3IryWr4c8
In a short video about IBM’s super computer Watson, the machine prepares to take on two other Jeopardy! contestants. See how well he does in this YouTube video.

Living on America’s Last Frontier: http://www.vbs.tv/newsroom/heimo-s-arctic-refuge-full-length–2
VBS follows a family who lives in America’s most remote location — in Alaska’s National Wildlife Refuge. Their closest neighbor is over 100 miles away and medical attention requires an army helicopter ride. The video is about an hour long, but well worth the watch.
