I owned a lot of the space and castle ones! Great times… but a pity how few of their current sets resemble these.
]]>“An Arab-language television network and radio station, founded by the Bush administration to promote a positive image of the United States, has aired anti-American and anti-Israeli viewpoints, has showcased pro-Iranian policies and recently gave air time to a militant who called for the death of American soldiers in Iraq.” Since this appears to have happened because of incompetence and not in the name of fairness, that’s a big oops!
]]>A Facebook app that lets me syndicate my post to Facebook, if I post from within Facebook. Unfortunately forces me to give up a number of features I use regularly, and it looks like there’s no easy way to convert my set-up to use it. Might be if I upgrade to MT 4, tho, which seems more desirable now that Action Streams is out too.
]]>If, like me, you’re so busy catching up on Battlestar Galactica that you missed some recent MMA action — say, last night’s UFC bout or last week’s WEC matchups — then MMADepot has a lot of the footage aggregated in one place. If you need to figure out if a guy named “Urijah” can be a badass, this may be the place to go.
]]>“The Leap presents powerful and personal stories from successful entrepreneurs and innovators — the victories, obstacles, lessons, and characters behind businesses that impact our lives.” A great new project started by my b-school business plan prof, David Belasco.
]]>“Can you imagine what it was like to have been photographing a wedding in Sichuan, China when 7.9 earthquake hit and shakes for three minutes?” Stunning photos.
]]>“One June 1, photographers throughout Los Angeles will gather at the Hollywood and Highland Metro Station to peacefully protest against the unnecessary treatment they have received from security guards…, LAPD, and LASD while photographing in public places, and on the Metro.” As seen on TV. I’d do it if I were going to be in town!
]]>This is actually a great offer… it takes a blood or cheek-swab test to join the National Marrow Donor Registry, so that they can match you to potential recipients; for the nonce, the test is free, so you can join without paying, and maybe save a life down the road!
]]>Hear about that volcano in Chile? Incredible photos of the eruption merging with an electrical storm (caused by the eruption? Would seem to me that an eruption would cause tons of static electricity in the air…)
]]>“In addition to the enormous tab for legal bills, rehab and psychiatric care, Britney’s inability to work has cost her a fortune. ‘by not touring for her last album [Blackout], she lost out on $50 million…’” Someday, I want to have $61mm to waste!
]]>“Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just like real users do.” Easy automated Web site testing — cool, and something I’ll for sure use the next time I make a major site update
]]>“Today is a powerful, easy to use event and task management application for Mac OS X Leopard. Built on top of the same data engine as Apple’s iCal and Mail programs, Today lets you quickly see what events and tasks are on today’s agenda with the click of a button.”
]]>Because it looks like ass, compared to the brilliant things other countries are doing.
