Time for the Monday links about the arts...

Architecture: check out Beijing's new National Swimming Center, which will be in action during the Olympics. It looks amazing.

Literature: why do well-established professors and the like plagiarize, anyway?

Music/Audio: Podzinger is a search engine for podcasts. It's a whole new world out there!

Past art: Two Caravaggio paintings have been found in a French church.
Present art: Cabinodd is fantastic. And look at all the artists they feature!
Future art: Recolored is a free (for now) application that colors in black and white photos. Wow.
