Pheromone Trails
Check out the little Pheromone Trails badge I added to the right nav,
It's a pop-up showing all the incoming and outgoing links to my site - provided by Pheromone Trails.
What are Pheromone trails?
In the same way that ants create trails between the nest and food, helping other ants find the food quickly, PheromoneTrail.com helps web users find the best places on the web by creating trails, based on user-navigation.

Walking the fish
Some Americans are pretty sensitive, when it comes to their strong opinions about anything. Especially the Intelligent design vs. Darwin's Evolution Theory is always good for a heated debate. Business have it especially hard, because they don't wanna lose any customers.
I went a little the sushi place (Rolls n Sushi) at the Marion Food Court and took one of their menues.
Now look closely at the little fish in the lower right:
A fish with legs is the so called "Darwin Fish" - see Wikipedia on the Social implications of the theory of evolution. Some even see it as a symbol for Atheism.
But that little Sushi place surely didn't want to make a statement like that on their menu. I'm pretty sure they just put it on their menu, because it looked cute and after American protests put the sticker on it ...

Crash Different
Wow, there are actually people that don't like Macs! Watch this very entertaining video of an editor who rants about all the little oddities of the Mac (Thanks to Duke for passing along) :
Myself, I'm still torn between liking Macs and being used to Windows. Tini has that little iBook, which is fun to play with, but I think I'd rather convert to Linux....so far. Also, because I'm not so much for design, which is what Apple is all about in my opinion ;)

Stay in touch
Even if you work behind a very restrictive firewall, you can still use most of your favourite Instant Messengers all rolled into one nifty Ajax-Webinterface with Meebo.
AIM or ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger ,Jabber or GTalk, MSN are all supported and it's ad-free so far ;)
