Fotolog I just found this site courtesy of Wired Online. It's a cross between a weblog and a gallery site like Webshots. The only difference between the two has been log nature of Fotolog. So, I created an account for myself, just to try it out for a little while. The site is free, but it only allows you to post one photo per day. The site, according to the Wired article, currently has a little war going on. A war between the serious amateur photographers, and Brazilian webcam-girls. Apparently, the Brazlians outnumber other groups on the site, and have been posting a lot of personal, sometimes scandalous pictures. The serious types are offended by this, as they don't want to see Fotolog become just a cheesy personal site, a teeny-bopper site, or anything else than a haven for semi-serious amateurs, or serious amateurs. I'm of two minds of the place, but I'll stick around long enough to see if it's of any use for me, or how the fight goes.

Inner Cow

This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]

If you're going to pirate movies online, why go for the crap Hollywood puts out when you have options like those listed at BitTorrent site, C homsky T orrents.org ? The site describes itself as a gathering place for torrents with progressive and radical content. As for now, it preserves a special place for the work of American dissident Noam Chomsky, as the domain name suggests. I didn't know Chomsky was a dissident -- but I suppose that's one way of describing him in the current American environment.
