Look at this perfectly awful thing I made using a Flickr template. Instead of a trading card, I created a White House pass for Lincoln. I think the photo looks very "driver's license." And it's not a profile, so you know he's over 18.
Somebody commented that I had assassinated him all over again. That really hurt.
My next project will be working with Mappr, and maybe some great Lincoln sites across the country.

I thought you might be interested in this recent article from the Washington Post, "Could Modern Medicine Have Saved Lincoln?".
"For him to have lived today would not be an extraordinary thing," Scalea said.
"What that might have meant to the United States at the dawn of reunification after the Civil War -- well, the string of imaginary events can be unspooled forever."

I think Lincoln is a total hottie, even on an ID card!
Thank you, Ellen! This article is so interesting, I've posted it with my favorite links. It's fascinating to imagine what a difference shock trauma treatment would have made in Lincoln's life. Later, I would like to post a blog, "What if Lincoln had lived?" and this article would be a great discussion springboard.
And thank you, Librarian666, for your usual cutting-edge observations.
