The new iMacs are in…and they’re awesome. Prices down, features up… what more could you ask for?
Do it yourself LED Mood Lamp
New 2007 cars…
Amazing (HUGE) photo of the moon. I told my daughter that the moon was made of cheese. She said “Not it’s not, it’s made of cement.” She’s kind of right…

I updated my blogroll and favorites (I’ll leave it to you to spot the new links), and posted a photo of my newest book, “Awol on the Appalachian Trail“. It looks to be a swift read so I’ll post a review as soon as I’m done.

Croc Hunter Steve Irwin dead – I always figured he’d be eaten by a “big beauty“. RIP… 
McDonalds Chicken Salad has more fat and calories than a Big Mac. If you like that, you’ll love Ruby Tuesday‘s new menu. Their “Classic Cheeseburger” has 1030 calories and 75 grams of fat.

Tom Stone photographs the homeless of San Francisco, and shares the results on Flickr. His work is enlightening, touching, and at times, horrifying.
Iron Mines
IronMiners.com is a very cool website that I ran across over at Metafilter. The site investigates old abandoned Iron Mines.
The presentation is very nice…and I absolutely love the pictures. I’m a bit disappointed, however, that they don’t have any information on the mine that my grandfather worked in up in Lyon Mountain, NY.
Maybe someday.
Exploration
Anvil shooting. Needless to say, do not try this at home.
Just keep clicking.
