Download Day 2008:

All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 is June 17, 2008.

In other news, Crows are awesome:


Also, for just $8.5 million, you, too, can have a house that's a giant scavenger hunt.

That's pretty cool, Tony. (I mean, in general. It's not so cool for the part of me that wants Germany to win.) I can't wait to see the pics from that party.

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.
