Ethically aware and certainly more environmentally (or appearing to be so) site CoolTribe is trying where many other outfits have failed; to gather together people who actually give a rats' arse about our world.

The thing that drew me here was this; for every member they recruit, they are going - they say - to plant a tree.

It's got some cool features lacking from it's better financed peers, but the site itself has some really nice people on board, including me.

This is pretty damn cool. Oxford Clay is a funny and wry look at dinosaurs coming to the conclusion the end is nigh.

You can find more at Oxford Clay.

According to the BBC, Dinosaur eggs have been found in India. If they wanted ancient eggs though, I would have thought it would be less trouble going to Little Chef. LOL

Oi may have posted these previously. Not sure. Enjoy anyway

That's right. In an article headed "

True Romantics Wore Horns

The Vikings raided, pillaged and wrote love poems; an ode to a 'wench in her wimple'"

You can savour such joys as

At the door of my soul she is standing,

So sweet in the gleam of her garment:

Her footfall awakens a fury,

A fierceness of love that I knew not,

Those feet of a wench in her wimple

Magical. A history of these gems is here. I shall never look at a man with a hand axe dressed in fur screaming while running towards me in fear again.

There is something very wrong with your life when you look at a piece of ashpalt and see a map of Africa, Libya, Australia or Neasden.

After 10000 hours of hard work, more than 10 years from time to time in the garage and about 15000 Euros spent, the Snaefell was ready to ride!
As you can see, the result is really impressive for a work done by an amateur...

The pics are impressive.

Oooo, give it a go!

Do you think you could have written a more inspiring inauguration speech for Barack Obama?
Show us how it’s done…

So you want to look at the stars? Why stop with a old telescope? Why not do what this guy did and build your own observatory?

Excerpt:

Introduction: This page will document the construction of my backyard observatory. This is a project I had wanted to do since the summer of 1975. A variety of factors (mainly cash flow and a suitable location) caused the 30+ year delay in starting this project. I live in a place where (for southern New England anyway) the skies are reasonably dark and I expect to be here long enough to make construction of an observatory a worthwhile undertaking. The photos below will document the progress of observatory construction.

The observatory I built is a roll-off roof type observatory, I decided on dimensions of 8x12. I did not have a set of plans, I kind of just "made things up as I went" (but I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do after doing some basic research and looking at other designs). My budget for this project was around $2500, so that means I am doing nearly all the labor myself. I did purchase most of the construction materials right after the Katrina disaster, mainly to beat the significant increases in material prices caused by this and other storms. Plywood went from $25 a sheet to $31 a sheet in 4 days (I had to make multiple trips on multiple days due to the capacity limitations of my truck).

More information on this frankly amazing project and the stunning results here.

- I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
 
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell
my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves
me.
 
-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you're wrong.
 
-I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to
have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they've invented the lighter?
 
-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
 
-That's enough, Nickelback.
 
-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

Going to the states? Here's a list of 68 must see sites. 68 of them. Count 'em. Wear all the t-shirts at once.

This week Twitter announced changes to its Terms of Service spelling out that you own your Tweets, and that Twitter () can place ads next to your content. What’s more, Twitter wants to crack down on spammers, bots and other bad behavior.

One of the best things to do is creep people out. Not in a nasty way, just spook them by doing/saying something unexpected. Here's a list.

This image, which is placed on Topless Robot, indicates how unfair life is.

In the age of rapid cycles and connected data, how long are we going to have to settle for dumb software?

Here's the detail screen from iCal. If I write a long text to go with an appointment, the only way to see the whole thing is to hit "edit."  But I don't want to edit it, I just want to see it.

More here.

The fight scene is the single most important and meaningful expression in cinema. Without it, the inspirational montage would not exist, “I know karate” would not be the playground’s Neutron Bomb, and Rocky would just be another mentally diminished meathead from Philadelphia (which is like being a teardrop in an ocean of sadness).More>>>

I have no idea what this is.

Or become on.

Cracked has a list of ten things which will not end well.

There's no doubt about it, Twitter has changed everything. Now people can communicate in 140 characters or less, news, view, jokes and Scams. It's like email but without the spam filters

Pics of events are often taken at something like a 32fps exposure, which means the detail is often very telling. Digital pictures have revolutionised everything really. Fast, better detail, more. You wouldn't catch shots like this in the 70s

Yes indeed.
The Daily Telegraph published loads of them last week. Cheeky monkeys.

Is a game which is much more difficult that it first appears. And what it appears to be is  a simple minded trip down a corridor. You have to shoot the Puki coming towards you, which sadly mostly look like badly dawn infants. But they can fly and if they penetrate your defences, well, the screen goes slightly red.

If, like me, you spent many happy hours wandering around in Doom, then this might bring back some memories.

Apart from some of the dating services, social networking and other sites for convicts, this is an interesting list of the 10 best prison escapes

This is an interesting site about Buddism. A friend of mine, who went on to develop complex DNA theories, mentioned that Buddism was the only logical religion and it's simplicity he found attractive.

MSNBC ran a story last week about a student who was prosecuted, maybe rightly, for altering a set of barrels. From the traditional barrel formation to this fearsome creation

There's a lot of stuff on Live Journal, I keep one myself, although a lot of it is marked for friends only. It's a nice slice of life. Here's one of the most interesting reads lately.
