[An idea to divide Antarctica based on open sea access](http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/207-antarctica-but-sliced-differently/). I've always found it amusing that the CIA's *World Factbook* lists [Australia](https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/as.html) as having an international dispute over…

[The top 10 archaeological discoveries of 2007](http://www.archaeology.org/0801/topten/). Living in Australia it's easy to forget about the history that lies under the feet of people all the world around.
[A Darth Vader tea towel](http://www.boingboing.net/2007/11/28/darth-vader-teatowel.html). I'd only get one if it came with a Yoda oven mit.

[In the 1920s Australian radios had to be locked to a single frequency](http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/04/australian-drm-from.html). Of course, arguably some of the current policies about DRM are just as silly.
[The best astronomy pictures of 2007](http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2007/12/13/top-ten-astronomy-pictures-of-2007/). There's a lot of universe out there. It'd be nice to go visit it from a bit closer.
[A collection of reviews from Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel](http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/ebertandroeper/balcony.html). An enormous collection. A lot of fun to see the take on some of the classic films. They…
[*Hitman*](http://www.us.imdb.com/title/tt0465494/) Directed by Xavier Gans. Starring Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko, Robert Knepper and Ulrich Thomsen. A mysterious, powerful organisation (known only as "The Organisation") has created…
