Skittles the photographer

This year Skittles got his very own camera for Christmas. It attaches to his collar and sees everything he does.

Skittles has been wearing his camera and taking pictures for a couple weeks now so I figured I would start showing off all of his hard work. Skittles has his own photoset on my flickr page that I will continue to update as he takes more and more great pictures. Check it out here.

St. Francis Cube

Not exactly sure what they’re doing, but in the meantime the giant plastic cube in the middle of historic downtown Santa Fe makes for a fun juxtaposition.

Arrrgh there be treasure in that spammers yard!

images.jpgJust when you think AOL is fresh out of stupid ideas they hatch a new one. CNN reported today that AOL plans to take a bulldozer and some shovels to Massachusetts, where they suspect gold and platnium bars have been burried. Why would AOL be chasing after such a treasure? They’re trying to collect on the 12.8 million they won in a settlement aginst convicted e-mail spammer Davis Wolfgang Hawke. Hawke reportatedly purchased large quantities of gold and platinum before skirting his court date.

Wouldnt a metal detector be a little more effective? Whatever. Happy digging AOL.

Woman struck by lightning while praying

“Worried about the safety of her family during a stormy Memorial Day trip to the beach, Clara Jean Brown stood in her kitchen and prayed for their safe return as a strong thunderstorm rumbled through Baldwin County, Alabama. But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured. She said ‘Amen’ and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive. Firefighters said its likely she was hit by a bolt of lightning that apparently struck outside and traveled into the house yesterday afternoon. She was found lying on the floor by her 14-year-old granddaughter. Fire officials think the lightning likely struck across the street from the couple’s home and traveled into the house through a water line. The lightning continued into the couple’s backyard and ripped open a small trench. A family member said he will no longer assume it is safe to be indoors during a lightning strike.” Full story

Hah, I would no longer assume it is safe to pray during a lightning storm… but thats just me.

wow.. stephen colbert… bravo

colbert.jpgFor some reason somebody decided to invite Stephen Colbert (the comedian from the colbert report and the Daily Show) to speak at the White house’s press corps dinner Saturday night. Colbert treated it like it was the comedy central Roast of President Bush. Colbert urged Bush to ignore his low approval ratings, saying they were based on reality, “and reality has a well-known liberal bias.” Absolutely hilarious!

“Colbert crossed the line,” said one top Bush aide, who rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished. Another said that the president was visibly angered by the sharp lines that kept coming.

“I’ve been there before, and I can see that he is [angry],” said a former top aide. “He’s got that look that he’s ready to blow.”

Ipod Scandals in the White House

Cheney’s iPod: first in line of succession for power outlets.

Cheney is an iPod fan, and keeping it charged is a priority for his staff. Normally that isn’t an issue, even when he’s flying around the world. Air Force II is equipped with outlets in each row of seats. But when Dick Cheney was traveling home overnight Wednesday from his diplomatic mission, most of the outlets went on the fritz.

Working passengers began lining up their laptops to share the power from a couple of working outlets — particularly the reporters who urgently needed to prepare their articles to transmit during a quick refueling stop in England.

But when Cheney said his iPod needed to be recharged, it took precedent above all else and dominated one precious outlet for several hours. The vice president’s press staff intervened so a reporter could use the outlet for 15 minutes to charge a dead laptop, but then the digital music device was plugged back in. That way, Cheney got his press coverage and his music, too.

Any while we’re talking about Air Force II…. holy shit.

Bush’s iPod: Filled with “illegal” music.

In the video linked below, we see that President Bush’s iPod contains songs by the Beatles; since no Beatles songs have been licensed for the iTunes Music Store yet, these must have come from ripped CDs. Remember last February, when the RIAA told a federal agency that ripping CDs is illegal? I wonder if they’ll bring charges.

Pff…
