My digital home on the internet.
Flickr was down today and, instead of the normal photos that it was displaying, this was what was visable on the home page. What a great sense of humor the staff there has. It’s a direct digg at the situation described in my previous post; Senator Ted Stevens gave a very uninformed speach about Net Neutrality and described the internet as “Tubes” that get clogged.
Which people, the public or the Telcos/Cablecos, is still not fully known after reading the partial transcript and listening to the speech (mp3 linked at the bottom of the article) that Senator Ted Stevens gave to the Senate not too long ago on the topic of Net Neutrality. The amazing understanding and clarity of speech that you would expect from an elected official that is supposed to be an expert on the subject matter being talked about, were… surprisingly … not present, along with anything that sounded like research on the subject.

I was browsing Wired’s site, as I do every so often and came across an interesting article about how robotics and programs like the DARPA Grand Challenge are starting to have an effect on the automotive industry and the way people drive.

This 5.8 mile round-trip (according to my GPS) hike kicked my ass today. First of all, it’s probably not a good idea to go hiking after, say, 7am when it’s so damn hot outside this time of year. Second of all, it’s not a good idea to only bring one source of water; always keep a backup Nalgene just in case. I apparently didn’t listen to myself and started hiking with a buddy from work at 7:30am with only a camelback and a few granola bars to eat.

In total, we purchased 7 fish for our tank: 4 Neon Tetra, 2 Silver Mollies, and 1 Zebra Mollie. We still have more room in the tank for some other fish, but have to wait a while before getting them so that our tank can adjust and get the bacteria levels working correctly. We were thinking about getting Angel Fish, but are not 100% set on what our next ones will be.
