So, apparently the DHS thinks anyone who shares anything is a terrorist waiting to happen. http://jasonisms.blogspot.com/2012/02/caturday-isnt-on-list.html

Recently the DHS (or, Department of Homeland Security  to see the list go , to page 20) released it's updated social media monitoring manual . Now, some of those words are worthy of a looksie just to double check what people are talking about when they're conversing with their friends and acquintances over social media. You know, words like anthrax , pipe-bomb , ebola and car-bomb . But some of the words are just crazy to assume people are secretly talking about performing terrorist acts. You know, words like:   interstate , sleet , southwest and smart . And then there are the rest of them. Does the DHS think everyone is a terrorist? Half of the words on the list are found in nearly every government press release, the other half in most tech blogs or news articles. Not to mention people talking about perfectly benign subjects such as sharing their experience about going to Target to pick up some flu medicine, some pork or because there was a recall on something you alr...

Amazing! Originally shared by TODAY Woman battles for 3 hours to save her stuck horse from rising tide This is a truly amazing tale that involves a woman, a horse, and a group of dedicated rescuers on a beach in Australia. See it unfold in pictures. http://bit.ly/x9xQaD

"How often are debtors arrested across the country? No one can say. No national statistics are kept, and the practice is largely unnoticed outside legal circles. "My suspicion is the debt collection industry does not want the world to know these arrests are happening, because the practice would be widely condemned," said Robert Hobbs, deputy director of the National Consumer Law Center in Boston." I thought, since there were no laws for this, there would be no way for the police to arrest, the DA to charge and the judge to judge you. Am I wrong? http://www.startribune.com/investigators/95692619.html?page=all&prepage=1&c=y#continue

Need photo editing software but don't have the capital for Photoshop? Here are some free software packages. Personally, I have used GIMP, Picasa and Picnik but will look into some of these others. Paint.Net looks interesting. Originally shared by Alireza Yavari http://www.noupe.com/design/free-photoshop-alternatives-for-editing-photos.html

While this actually sets a bad example to other soldiers for perceived rewards for disobeying orders, this is exactly the kind of person the country needs: someone who is willing to do what's right and not what's easy.

Is this another case of 20th century mindset committing suicide in a 21st century world?

otherwise known as personalized results) or what but I can almost never find what I'm looking for when I'm not looking for something on Wikipedia, an image or a YT video. I mean, seriously, if I read an article then search Google News for that same or a similar article by keywords I remember, I can't find it. Take tonight for example. I could have sworn I read somewhere months ago about how to search the Google+ Stream unfiltered by connections, Circles, search terms, etc. It was something simple but I can't remember what it was or when it was posted. I do remember it was posted on G+ by a Googler (I think). So, I searched for: Google+ search stream Google+ search timeline Google+ search unfiltered Google+ search tips and tricks Google+ search tips And a few other variants. I searched them both inside G+ and in Google's main search engine. I went through pages of results with a vast majority of them not even remotely related to what I was looking for. Most were blog...

I was just scrolling through my stream thinking to myself: wow, there are a lot of people online tonight who like the sames things I do! And then I noticed I was looking at my stream. Ha ha ha!

So, I'm watching this movie, I don't know the name of. It has the adorable Kristen Bell as the sister of a guy who's marrying her high school nemesis. We're about 15 minutes into the movie and my mom, who put the movie in, has commented on nearly everything that's happened. She just made another comment, something nonsensical about something funny that was said. Not a guffaw, not a laugh, but a comment. That's the 8th or 9th since the movie started. I finally looked at her and said: are you going to talk through the whole movie? If so, I can leave the room. "I wasn't talking." "Yes you were." "I just wanted to say something real quick." "You've said a lot of 'somethings real quick.'" A dirty look, a huff, and she turns back to the TV. The occasional comment or whatnot, while annoying is okay, but I've noticed my mom is one of those people who comments about the entire show or movie. A constant stream of...

So, I'm watching this show (I've seen before) on NatGeo called The Whale That Ate Jaws and of course they're mentioning the White Shark and the Great White, which got me to thinking: why is it referred to as the Great White Shark, when there is no "Lesser White Shark.* The terms "White Shark" and "Great White Shark" both represent the same species, formally known as Carcharodon carcharias. Most scientists seem to prefer to use the name White Shark, apparently on the grounds that there is no 'greater' or 'lesser' White Shark, there's just one species: the White Shark. But most lay-people seem to much prefer to use the name Great White Shark or Great White, as though it is important to stress the 'greatness' (size, predatory prowess, charisma, or dangerousness) of this animal. -- http://www.elasmo-research.org/education/white_shark/ws_or_gws.htm http://natgeotv.com/uk/the-whale-that-ate-jaws

I did not want to get too close to this guy. He was only about 3in across, but still...

Here's this week's HackThisPhoto submission for me. This one was a toughie since I didn't know what to do with it, but I finally found something I liked. I really can't recall what exactly how I edited this since I undid and re-did a gazillion things over the last hour or so, so I hope you're not hoping I can explain the process. Just note: it was all done in Picasa. Yes, Picasa. I don't know if Stephanie Fecik and HACK THIS PHOTO were properly tagged when I posted this, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Anywho, I hope you like.

These are from earlier tonight at the National Seashore and Wildlife Refuge taken with my phone. Obviously, I took the K5, too, so expect some better pics soon.

It took me some time today to jump on G+ due to a response I read when I woke up this morning. You see, when I wake up I check emails and usually notifications from my phone before getting out of bed. One of the first notifications I read is linked to below. Laura Manach makes a post, I comment and then she calls me a troll or stupid. That sort of pissed me off and I didn't want to be near SM for a few hours lest I lash out. As it is, my response isn't the nicest response I could have made, but it's much nicer than I would have posted 8 hours ago. Anywho, what part of my first comment was trolling or stupid? I tried to right it off as Laura Manach being French descent and it being a cultural thing, but I can't get over it. Am I wrong? Do I appear to be trolling? Or stupid? https://plus.google.com/114096099683887759200/posts/9VnWxPLCbsv
