Oh gosh...
If you can, listen to some beautiful classical type of music as you look at these pictures.
The point of that site is to decide between two fairly equally beautiful photographs which one is prettier. It's a project programmed by the guy who writes xkcd; the program takes all the input from all the people who have pressed a button saying one picture is prettier than another and then compiles the results into the list linked above.
I couldn't even begin to compare any of those pictures. I'm glad I was listening to the Il Postino theme as I viewed them. Stunningly gorgeous.

UPDATE: Although I just learned that at least some of them are manipulated via software. That's a little deflating, but it's still incredible.

We've all done something like this before
xkcd is great. I mean that. It is great.
Unfortunately a large portion of the jokes are for those who understand the world of computer programming, but I think most people reading this blog have, if not an actual understanding of programming languages or common phrases, a respect and appreciation for the programming world.
Oh gosh. This one is great too:
