The game against Germany was absolutely off the hook! We were in a small town outside of Split and it was like they had won the whole title already. Can hardly wait to see what the next round will bring.
And yes, I did get some video clips of the madness. Unbelievable...

I was recently pointed towards a photo blog from the Boston Globe, The Big Picture. The link I followed indicated its uniquity was its use of large (ie. 1024x768) images to tell its stories, and to rely on the images to tell the story.
It's an interesting blog, with some truly stunning images. The above is from the following story:Sidoarjo's Man-made Mud Volcano:
On the two-year anniversary of its eruption, international scientists say they are almost certain a mud volcano that displaced tens of thousands of villagers in central Indonesia was caused by faulty drilling of a gas exploration well - not an earthquake as claimed by the gas company. "We are more certain than ever that the Lusi mud volcano is an unnatural disaster and was triggered by drilling" said Richard Davies, lead author of a study published this week in the academic journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
Two years ago now, on 28 May 2006, gas company PT Lapindo Brantas exploring for gas in Sidoarjo, in East Java, Indonesia, drilled a borehole. At 5 AM, a secondary stage of drilling began and the drill string went about 9,300 feet down, after which the first small eruption of water, steam and a small amount of gas occurred at a location just southwest of the well. Several other eruptions followed over the next few days. The flow of hot mud has not ceased since.
Fourteen people have been killed and 30,000 people have been evacuated from the area. At least a dozen villages, with more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed while schools, offices and factories have also been wiped out and a major impact on the wider marine and coastal environment is expected.

I may need one of these: Datexx SuperBattery. It's a hand-crank charger for any device with a USB cable. Only $40...

Looks like things went well.
Also, that was one hell of a two-part Doctor Who.
And for those who know him, I should really show you the program from Anish's wedding. Very few people, I think, would be able to sneak the word 'n00b' in there, yet he managed it somehow.
