By now many people will have seen this, but I had to include it anyway. If Mir hits this target tomorrow, every person in the US will get a free taco at Taco Bell.

I always wonder whether folks have seen a story or something about the images I post. I don't really follow news the same way everyone else does, I think. I do it mostly over the net, using my.yahoo.com (customized portal) and a collection of news-aggregating websites. Sometimes I catch the 10 o'clock news on Fox. I don't watch the national TV news at all and rarely read newspapers.

So, how many of my images are something you've seen before in some other format?

And why isn't our ocean that green?

(Photography won't necessarily produce the exact right colors, and your own monitor may produce color differences, so take colors found online with a grain of salt.)

You're doing great with the images Tony. I get most of my news off the web, supplemented by the News Hour a couple times per week and whatever radio news (Talk of the Nation etc.) I can stomach. The Yahoo portal lays out more stories than the network news and you can always follow up on a story using your search engines. You can even add in your own prefered propaganda with something like Freedom News Daily. Surfers have to be careful with sources but if you want to know, you can really chase an item. Being outside cable land and having a really weak local paper, I've found the net to be a good diversion when I could be doing something productive.
