Only if you want updates. You mght get some interesting mail.

TheMercenary 09-20-2010 04:23 PM

This is interesting. My brother sent it to me to watch my schools college football game live on tv, and it has a bunch of links to other tv programs. It is free. I watched a stream of South Park episodes and the quality was pretty good.

Check it out.

Awesome story of a woman who tracked down the jerk who broke into her car. A cautionary tale for would-be-thieves in this digital age.

Clodfobble 09-23-2010 11:05 PM

Or at least, it's an awesome story until two years from now, when he gets out of prison and comes back to her house to kill her for getting him locked up.

xoxoxoBruce 09-23-2010 11:30 PM

That's what I thought.

Cloud 09-23-2010 11:46 PM

And, when i win the lottery, I'm going to do something very similar IRL.

PZ, that is quite dramatic.

Hobo's Journey
 
Quote:

Alison Murray's documentary from 2000 where she embarks on a hobo's journey across Canada and the US. Watching her hop trains is inspiring, in an I-would-never-do-that kind of way. Bonus: The soundtrack is a rare example of Beck granting permission for his music to be used.

BBC website that puts various things into a scale you understand. Your neighborhood.

For example, how far has the Mars Rover traveled?

...the link to that website where you can build a graphic of the number of people who move into or out of a specified geographical area?

I know, when I punched in my address I saw that they went across the street to my neighbor's house, then crossed the other street and stood on the side walk. Lazy lima beans.

Neat making of Empire Strikes Back photo essay over at Vanity Fair. Apparently there is a new coffee table book coming out, and these are select pictures from that book.

Flint, is this what you were looking for?

Gravdigr 10-20-2010 05:57 PM

Not pumpkins, Pornkins.

And for those of you waiting to jump down my throat, see the word "porn" up there? Yeah, no skin, but NSFW-ish.

One of my favorites from "In Living Color" it was from the skit "Hey Mon" about the Jamaican family running the airline.

That was great! I forgot about that episode. Thanks for the post. We love Jamaica.

A bit of irony in fact-checking...

The photo with the caption " ... right under that hotel" is a pic of Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood in Oregon.

I think that was the author's ad-lib.

Marine traffic
 
Here is a link to identify (live) marine traffic on-line...

I'm in Portland, OR so it may open there, but it works world wide...
There is an enormous amount of information available.

Free Bird ID posters
 
You can download free posters from Cornell, which identify Hummingbirds of North America, Eastern Feeder Birds, or Western Feeder Birds. (pdf)

You can also join FeederWatch, and help with their ongoing bird census.

Link NSFW
 
Without going into how I got there...Have you ever done a Google image search for "jailbait" (link NSFW)? In their entirety, the first three pages are demotivators. I found this result interesting and unique. And disturbing.

NSFW


And no I'm not a pervert. Really.

Not if you turn off "safe search". :o

Safe Search:

Strict. Moderate. Off.

xoxoxoBruce 11-14-2010 03:11 PM

With safe search off, I get non-Demotivators on the second page. More on the third.

Now that I think about it, there are some pics w/more skin in 'em that prolly get filtered out...

I imagine this makes ppl w/teenage daughters worry, at the least.

TheMercenary 11-16-2010 09:29 AM

Cool Bruce. Thanks for the link on Feederwatch.

I have 5 feeders in my back yard. I should join Feederwatch since we get a lot of migrating birds. My fav is the Painted Bunting.

glatt 11-16-2010 10:05 AM

5 feeders? How much seed do you go through?

xoxoxoBruce 11-16-2010 03:58 PM

Feederwatch only wants a count on the birds that eat and leave, not the ones you feed and cook. :haha:
