"Special Mention" Lenses

When the lensroll just isn't enough

The Lensroll is at the right side of this page and lets me add links to some lenses that I like. But sometimes you find ones that need a little more than just a link. So here are short descriptions of some really special lenses that I've found.
The Fair Tax
Pete Koutoulas has created a lens with a lot of information on this crucial topic and some links to much more info.
Book List from "The Daily Show..."
I'm not much of a TV watcher and I do not to take The Daily Show too seriously (remember folks, it's comedy!), but Kate Trgovac has come up with a very cool lens. Streaming video of Jon Stewart interviewing authors on his show.
Firefox and Greasemonkey
There is a growing community of Firefox devotees on squidoo. I found Destiny Aman's lens to be very helpful with lots of info and individual descriptions and links to Firefox plug-ins and extensions.
The Blue Lens
Kelvin Cook's lens on the blues. He has some great vintage video footage here, and on his blogs. Check this out and let's encourage him to develop this lens.
Jaco Pastorius
The world's greatest bass player indeed.
Beer
YEAH BEER!!!
