Oyez Oyez Oyez
"The Oyez project takes its name from the phrase (pronouced "o-yay", "o-yez" or "o-yes") used to call the courtroom to order, and is my pick-of-day site. Start with the amazing, virtual tour you’ll feel as if you are standing at the lectern arguing a case. Other highlights include Oyez Baseball, an interactive quiz that compares baseball players to Supreme Court Justices (I’m not making this up), and the databases of justice bios and court cases. And last, but not least, you can hear the Marshall of the Supreme Court announce the arrival of the justices with the audio clip on the FAQ page of the About Oyez section."

Old Faithful Geyser Web Cam
"Yellowstone is famous for its 200 geysers, and Old Faithful is the most famous of all. Although it is neither the largest nor most regular, it’s popular because it erupts more frequently than the other big Yellowstone geysers. Each morning, the Old Faithful Web Cam site calculates the day’s schedule, based on an average interval of eighty minutes between eruptions. When you arrive, you’ll see a countdown to the next expected performance and a real-time photo that refreshes every thirty seconds. If you visit at night, or can’t wait for the next live show, check out the archive of past eruptions."

History is found in the Blue Room (look for History & Tours.) Here you can join an online tour of the White House; learn about its past residents; and view a small portion of the White House’s art collection."
