You gotta check this out. This is a
screensaver that uses your photos from Flickr as the images. All you do
is install it and tell it your user name or anyone else’s name and it
pulls down their photos to use.
The cool part for the Society? Thousands of Relay For Life photos are on Flickr already. [...]
Think evolution only applies to long-term life changes? Nope. Increasingly it is apparent that evolution is at work right within tumoigenesis. The following is excerpted from this article on bio.com.
"A tumor cell population is constantly evolving through natural selection," says

CNNMoney.com reports that Anshe Chung
is holding a press conference today to announce that she has now
reached $1,000,000.00 in value in Second Life. Not sure if that means

Today’s big news is that Verizon is going to start offering YouTube clips over its cellular video service. Waahoo! So I’ve got a nominee for this new engrossing viewing: first-time footage of cold methane vents 1000 meters down in the Pacific off New Zealand. I was promised bizarre and fascinating creatures.

This weekend I’m getting around to some overdue maintenance of FISpace. I’ve cleaned out the inactive links in the blogroll, shortened the list of archive links, removed my Frappr map from last summer, and put the recent comments on top of the recent posts.
But the thing I’m most excited about is installing the beginning [...]
From widgets to billionaires. Slate has an article titled, "How Billionaires Give Their Money Away." And don’t we all want to know that?
