Wild Chronicles - video podcast feed (FeedBurner)

Remember that video that passed around where those Japanese hornets massacre a hive of honey bees? If you do you need to download Hornet Hunters which puts that whole scene in context.


8 Invaluable Wordpress Plugins

I have too many projects on my plate, so of course I’m thinking about re-designing and migrating to a better blog system. Wordpress appears to be the app of choice among typography conscious bloggers, so it’s probably the way I’d go.


Daily Show: Dr. Alon Ben-Meir

Part 2 (recommend opening in new windows). Continuing to try to wrap my head around what’s going on, in as superficial a manner as possibe. Helps to have the buddy list open at the same time.


The Making of VIKTORY II

If I were to try out a war game I think this’d be it. Next time we have a game night we’re gonna try out Settlers of Catan, which this is partially based on. It was also based on Axis & Allies, but long slow strategy games like that (Risk, etc.) have never had much […]


The Middle East Buddy List - Slate

Rick Steves’ Europe: Recommended Reading & Viewing

Plane tickets have been purchased. Have to re-adjust my Netflix que as the trip approaches.


Fresh Milk

…from a waitress (video on YouTube). One of Cybil’s clients showed her a bunch of videos, including a new way to solve problems, Zidane style, and this octopus eating a shark. Also, for anybody that’s caught the travel bug at all, there’s Where the hell is Matt?.


Top Gear: New Compacts Test

The verdict is in, I have the taste in cars of a middle aged man’s mother.
