D'OH

hmm... I did not anticipate the issue of terrorists using Google Earth. It certainly makes sense. It reminds me of how Bush confirmed that he used "the google" and he said he liked to pull up images and maps of his ranch. Now, I don't like the guy, but I sincerely hope you can't get too much detail on locations like that. But then again, that is Israel's very issue.

Wells Fargo Receives EPA Green Power Partner of Year Award

For those of you concerned about your carbon footprint, take a look at some of the progressive things Wells is doing. I think it's pretty cool to work for a company who is interested in wind farms, solar projects and other green power. I hope their efforts help and I hope more and more companies begin to substantially contribute.

3 days of methane rain to start your morning, eh?

When dawn comes on Titan it's nearly 300 degrees below zero with a steady drizzle. And the drizzle is methane — an explosive gas on Earth that is chilled into a liquid on that moon of Saturn. They reported that the drizzle seems to dissipate after what would be about 10:30 a.m. Titan time, if the day there were divided into 24 hours. However, because Titan takes 16 Earth days to rotate once, the drizzle continues for about three Earth days after sunrise.

So, um, when can us Earthlings move there? Sounds great!

No really, it's up to you

You may have heard already. Radiohead is releasing a new album soon. The relevant detail is that they never re-signed with EMI and have not signed with a new record label. What does that mean? For starters, they are distributing and selling the album themselves over the internet. Pretty revolutionary step in the music industry! A step that record labels must be hoping fails.

What makes this even more interesting is the fact that you are able to name your price for the download! Did I mention this is a double-disk album? And did I mention that you can pay $0.01 for it if you want? I'm almost too excited to even consider what I will enter as my purchase price. I mean, on the one hand, I don't want to be a dick and pay a penny. On the other hand, would I get a copy of it from a friend anyway?
