I've cleaned up both my Links and RSS Feeds pages. On the Links page there were several links that I don't use anymore. And on the RSS page about half the feeds weren't being used so I trimmed that back to a handful that I do use. That page was more of an exercise in accessing RSS feeds anyway. Some of the security related feeds have now been put back onto the Links page. You really needed to know this, didn't you! ;)
So what do you do if you find a 500 pound bee hive? Why you throw rocks at it of course! Well, at least that some kids in Santa Ana, California decided they should do. The real comedy ensues when the bees decided that they didn't really appreciate the attention they were getting so they decided to go out and have a look…all 120,000 of them! Ay carumba!
Oh, come on. Admit it. You threw rocks at beehives just like I did when I was a kid. Heck, I likely would still be inclined to do so as an adult! But I think I would have passed on doing so with one this big.
I've been going to mention this for a while, but had put it off because I hadn't gotten one myself! So 3 weeks ago I finally tracked down where to find one, and have been wearing it ever since. What is it? It's a WearYellow LiveStrong wristband. Proceeds from these go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and support people living with cancer. The're only a buck ($1.00) and relatively unobtrusive once you get used to wearing it. There's a seller locator on the WearYellow LiveStrong site, but I'll save you the trouble. The most widely available location where you can get these are at Foot Locker stores. So go now and do something good for those less fortunate than you!
After much work, many delays and numerous headaches, PolarBlog V1.0 has finally been released! You can learn more at the PolarBlog website.
Humiliated, Angry, Ashamed, Brown. is written by Ian Spiers and describes his recent encounter with some agents from the Department of Homeland Security. Nice. And I suppose out of all the people around this area with cameras they just happened to single him out for extra scrutiny. Right.
On a somewhat related note, you better watch what you are reading these days. Apparently being in possession of "inappropriate" reading material can cause you to be singled out and have it confiscated.
This my fellow Americans is the way in which the wonderous USA Patriot Act is making us all safer from terrorists. It's good to see that the Constitution isn't being trampled on in any way. Well, except some of the silliness like that IV Amendment! God save us for ourselves or at least our government!
