Crazy stuff like this can happen. Watch the middle pillar as a storm rocks this ship as seen from CCTV footage:
And what did these folks get for their suffering? A discount on a future cruise.

Reading Material
- Missle Command in 1KB of JavaScript.
- How to automatically upload pictures to the ‘net as you take them (great for journalists).
- I’m building a HTPC and am probably going to cancel my cable, and this wood computer case is going on my (never going to happen with my budget) wish list.
- Set Bing backgrounds as automatically updating wallpaper.
- Is Android surging only because Apple is letting it?
- When you’ve done everything you can with Ruby On Rails, it’s time to meet the MVC web framework to end all MVC web frameworks: DOS on Dope, a modern MVC framework built on the awesome power of Batch scripts.
- Charles Darwin’s ecological experiment on Ascension isle was probably his best-kept secret.
- For you old-timers out there (like me): A big list of still functioning BBSs, mostly accessible via Telnet (though there are a few dial-in nodes there).
- For fun weather graphs, pictures and tracking this hurricane/tornado/winter season, StormPulse is a fun little toy.
- Didn’t know this: Google has a bunch of online classes, lectures and tutorials for a bunch of programming languages.
- Wesley Snipes could have been Geordi, a part that ultimately went to LeVar Burton.
- AMD has gotten rid of the ATI brand, making Radeon its own.
- Gmail makes it easier to get through your inbox with priority inbox (somebody needs to make this a Thunderbird extension — or I just need to funnel all my accounts into Gmail).
- Handy ways to make your USB sticks and Flash Cards easier to recognize in Windows.
- Simplicity is highly overrated.
I Suck At Geography
As Globetrotter XL has proven to me, I need to start playing with my daughter’s Smart Globe more often. I couldn’t even make it past level three. I suck.
The Best Of The Worst On YouTube

Why Didn’t I Think Of This?
I love Oreos, and I love soaking Oreos in milk to the point where they’re just about to fall apart, I hate, however, getting milk all over my fingers. Why didn’t I think about trying this before? Somebody (OK, a lot of people) is much smarter than me.
Where Americans Are Moving
While this is a few months old, this interactive map is a really fun toy to play with. Click on a county in the US, and it will show (based on 2008 IRS data) where people are coming from that are moving to that county, and where they’re going if they’re leaving, and more stats about the type of people that are moving. Deschutes County has by far the most activity in Oregon east of the Cascades, but it’s fun the click on the massive population areas like Los Angeles and New York to see the country light up. It’s also interesting to see the large amount of folks leaving areas like Detroit and the huge amounts of folks moving to areas like Portland.
Time Killer For The Day
Yes, it may be on a kid’s site, but Whizzball is a fun puzzler that unfortunately has the stupidest username signup (you’re best off just mashing the keyboard to find an available username).
I Don’t Think This Guy Trained The Dog
I think the dog trained the guy to dance like this…
