Reader photos: Godzilla handkerchiefs and wrangling Icelandic birds

Come inside! See fairy tale houses, read about interesting interviews in the Clicky Links, and just be a cooler human being for it.

It has been bike month! Enjoy this art and clothing to celebrate your mobile passion

The most amazing USB key EVER WROUGHT

Every Monday I cruise the Offbeat Home Flickr Group and curate the most interesting photos for us all to gather ’round computers and look at. Together. This week I present to you: an YouTube video meme sampler, a patio puppy and loads of oogly Clicky Links — like a place selling vintage porn posters.
