map yourself for diggdot.us

The main problem this morning was that it was cloudy and early, so there wasn't even a little sun to break through the cloud cover and help me out. I had the camera set on shutter priority to try and reduce the blur of the beating wings. Alas, out of the ~300 shots I took less than 20 are worth looking at.
The shots are taken at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge near Dayton. Google Map

oh, hey, look...spying before 9/11. shocking.
I go through all the trouble to automagically bring in content that I put into other systems only to have almost an entire week where I put nothing into any system.
- del.icio.us (auto posting)
- Flickr (quickie blog posts)
- digg (sidebar)
- last.fm (sidebars)
I tend to use each of these systems on a daily basis, or at the very least I would use at one of them in a week. This past week? Not so much.
I've been in a fairly intense training session at work for a new content management product. It really felt like I was trying to do two full-time jobs by being in training and yet keep and eye on the normal stuff that I need to take care. Of course, there was also all the back-end work that needs to be done with any enterprise-level system. So, I was trying to get all that ironed out as well.
At night I was so burned that I would watch last night's Daily Show, catch up on a few blogs, and then fall asleep. Lather, rinse, repeat. So the end result was a week of nothing getting posted here. I have a bunch of stuff that needs to be posted to Wally Watch as well.
I think I'll call myself a whaaaaambulance now.

bruce drops a little sanity on the wikipedia debate
Normally I'm content to agree to disagree with my rep in Congress. But he's decided that our constitutional rights aren't real. I kid you not. Parse his words however you want, it comes down to some people get rights and some people don't. That should come in handy...for something.
Wally should resign in disgrace for saying something like that.

kudos to Microsoft for donating to CC
At 12:30pm, an envelope from Redmond appeared at the Creative Commons office. Inside, a check for $25,000. From Microsoft.
Credit where credit is due, as they say. This is very cool. Not only did CC make their goal so that the IRS will get off their back, but the final push came from Microsoft. Hopefully the Creative Communist thinking is behind us.
Thanks Scotty!
