Sites of the week: If you want to know more about the true roots of Thursday’s turkey bash, or if you just want to be Cliff Claven for the crowd with lots of minute details, check out pilgrimhall.org/thanksg.htm. This site by a pilgrim artifacts museum in Plymouth, Mass., has rich histories of the pilgrim landings and the subsequent celebration that became a national holiday. Plus, you can read hundreds of years of official presidential proclamations!
Watch this Web video: Some pure eye candy this week for our web video recommendation. Director “Mike” created his vision of the Reno Balloon Race using a digital camera and time-lapse software, crafting an artful dance of color and movement. “Mike” lists Philip Glass as one of his influences, and the results reflect that, at youtube.com/watch? v=zyyCcjbrWOM. He has a collection of other striking time- lapse efforts on YouTube or at granitebaysoftware.com.
