Crow vs. baby rabbit

Who knew crows would do this? They should be ashamed of themselves! Taking a poor little bunny foo foo and eating it like chicken.

Facebook on the go

Facebook is really trying to make itself more useful while it's users are on the go. A few days ago, I noticed this new link appearing under the profile pictures of my friends:

Subscribe by SMS. When I click it Facebook tells me "Jeff's status updates will now be delivered to your phone via mobile texts." Cool.

Here are some other things you can do while on the go. I particularly love the "Get cell phone #" option. Way useful while on the go. Here's the full list of what you can text to FBOOK (32665):

Update status: is at john's party

Message: msg john smith whats up?
Get profile info: srch john smith
Get cell phone #: cell john smith
Wall post wall: john smith happy bday
Poke: poke john smith
Add a friend: add john smith
Write a note: note this is a mobile note

Since Facebook is so easy to use on the web, this is their way of heading Twitter off at the pass in the mobile arena. Twitter is growing (by double), but even my Mom's on Facebook.

I don't know about you, but I miss George Bush

This is so funny! Kaitlyn fell asleep at dinner

Photo assignment: Kids Co-Op

The girls' teacher asked me if I would take some photos so they could update their website. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I was on an "official" photo assignment. Here are a few of my favorites from the set.

I've got so much to learn, but this was fun. The lighting was pretty low, so the ISO was up to 1000 (hence the grainyness). Hope you like.

Microsoft's Facebook Demo

Well, well, well. Microsoft has some tricks up it's sleeve with Silverlight (and maybe .net, we'll see), but take a look at what they did in just 72 hours with Facebook's new API.

It' s not open to developers (yet) but when it is - who the hell is going to actually GO to facebook.com? It'll be like Twitter how I get my data by using TweetDeck and Twittergadget.

It's crazy how quickly the people are giving up. Crazy.

But, it is torture and why?

Waterboarding: How long could you last?

We've all read so much about Waterboarding and whether or not it is torture. I had never seen a demonstration before. Watch below as this journalist tries to go through 15 seconds of it.

Having seen this - do you consider Waterboarding Torture? Leave a comment.
