A Dire Sign of Climate Change or Something Else...

More and more we are seeing reports of unusual animals showing up in places where they are not expected. For example, an alligator was seen at a Minnesota Fourth of July BBQ this weekend. Alligators, as we all know, are not known for living in the wilds of Minnesota. They are more commonly found in places like Texas and Florida.

But there's more...

Other critters, such as the sharks of the Atchafalaya Basin Swamp, seem to be moving in to areas where they are normally not found. A few years back when I lived in Alaska, it was common knowledge that fish species from warmer regions were starting to be found in the coastal waters of Alaska. These waters normally only harbor cold water species. Whether this is due to climate change, or human interference in nature, it is currently unknown.

CryptoMundo has a good article over it here.

The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay selling out? Long the bastion of free trade, the torrent share site Pirate Bay has announced it is considering selling it's operation to Swedish company, Global Gaming Factory X. They are exploring a new business model which might actually pay the users for uploading and sharing files, and also pay the copyright holder too. Whether this is selling out remains to be seen. The deal has not yet finalised, and very well might not materialize.

Staggering Images of our Public Mass Consumption

See the images at Chris Jordan's website. Their are truly eye opening. The amount of "stuff" produced by our consumer culture is perverse. His images place it all in perspective.

Stop the Insanity! Bottled water is nuts!

It is crazy that we keep producing bottled water, when it is free for the taking from the tap. The amount of oil going into non-biodegradable bottles is just mind-boggling. It has to end. We are going to find ourselves living on a heap of plastic bottles instead of a continent.

The Good Old Days...

Here are a few pics I found of myself and my friends back in the punk days. I am the guy in the white shirt standing by the sitting girl with half a face. And the band below is the "Agitators", a group of guys I hung out and jammed with occasionally. All this was way back in 1985 or 1986 I think. It is really funny looking back, because I now know what has become of many of these people. They are respectable members of society now, but I know what lurks inside.
