Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
My Life Is Now Complete. This site has been hit up on Digg thanks to the morons who keep posting comments on this really old AOL story. So I’ve now been mentioned on Digg and the New York Times because of AOL morons because of this.
So welcome Digg readers! Feel free to post a comment here. And you’ll be happy to know that despite all this traffic, my server’s barely been pushed at all (thank goodness for MovableType’s static page creation).
Interesting article and discussion asking the question: What if some of the world’s best photographers had posted their photos to a photo message board? Would they have been told to crop things out? Would they be told that the color’s wrong?

Now these are the kinds of investigative projects I like to see. This is the project given to students and faculty from five major universities in a multi-year effort.
The American military is in the midst of a profound shift in strategy that is reshaping the military’s presence, and in many cases, its mission, around the world. Older, permanent bases are downsizing or being restructured; newer, smaller and more flexible bases, in places new to American troops, are being created. We are looking for ways to tell stories—cultural, economic, political and environmental—about the nearly half million men and women serving the security interests of the United States overseas.
I can’t wait to see how this project comes out.
Thanks BB for the link.
I have an old high school teacher that I still keep in touch with. He’s into retirement now, and he’s been spending most of his time playing Freecell, and he goal is to beat all of the games. Too bad some of them are truly unsolvable, depending on which version of Windows you’re running (later versions include more games).
