I vote for Candy-dates

Mmm, Chocobama and Sugar Cain chocolate sculptures, created by artist Manuela Zuidmeer from Rotterdam, Netherlands... A little on the pricey side but definitely interesting. Their FAQ mentions the Obama Campaign actually uses the word Chocobama... I have yet to find evidence of that, though.

Hamilton 365

Each day Larry Strung photographs (and posts online) a different citizen from his town of Hamilton, Ontario. It's like finally getting to meet all your neighbors, one day and one neighbor at a time. The biker who rides at 6 am, the doctor, the farmer, the mayor. Talk about a complete picture of a place. Really interesting to look through the stunning photos and learn about people you don't know...
