What Is ZC?
Zelda Classic is a tribute to (what we think is) the greatest video game of all time: Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda.
It has been developed into an exact replica of the NES version that we all know and love. Beyond that, Zelda Classic allows the development of new quests that can use either the traditional graphics or enhanced graphics, as well as new enemies, items, and challenges.
You can download the Zelda goodness here.

I have blogged about a lot of great pictures but I have to agree this on is 'A One In A Million Photo'
Marc Laidlaw of Redmond was out taking photographs of last Thursday night's thunderstorm from just behind his sliding glass door on the back of his Eastside home. He got about three great lighting shots, but the fourth one might have been more than he bargained for. He snapped his camera just as lightning struck a tree in his backyard.
[WOW]

I like to post clever ads
These would turn my head.
These are cool I don't care what anyone else thinks.

NASA has posted a new image called the 'Solar System Montage'.
Luckily for me it isn't called the .Planets of the Solar System Montage' or it would look more like this.
[poor Pluto]

Every once and a while there is a really great photoshop contest on Worth1000.com Today I saw a cool one called 'Save Pluto'.
