flickr friday: Cairo Sprawl
Seen here is the urban sprawl of the City of Cairo and the ancient pyramids in the background. Smog is visible just in front of the pyramids. The artist states that he was unable to capture the amazingly high dynamic range of this scene with his camera.

flickr friday: McWay Waterfall
This is way cool! I wish I could visit these places! Maybe when I win the Powerball that I never play because I swear there are better odds in Atlantic City!

Girl Sends 30,000+ Text Messages per Month
I did the math, thats 8 text messages every ten minutes, IF she never sleeps. I don't know if she is counting incoming and outgoing, but since that is how she is being billed, she probably is. Assuming she sleeps like your average human, and is counting both incoming and outgoing. Justine sends text messages at the rate of 6 every ten minutes (gets 6 replies too). She does this for
every waking hour. She also has an iPhone, I've used that keyboard, and my text input wouldn't be anymore screwed up than if I had my hands injected with a local anesthetic.
Here is the video she made about her huge bill, that came in a box.
Here is the raw video of an interview she did with a reporter. Nerds' lips must quiver as they hear her say "pdf" with authority, actually knowing what she is talking about.

flickr friday: Virgin America
Virgin America made its inaugural flights on August 8, 2007 from JFK and LAX with both flights landing simultaneously at San Francisco. VA plans to be a low cost airline featuring a high level of service, including a high tech entertainment system featured in every seat. Pretty cool lighting too!

flickr friday: Taipei 101
No longer the tallest building in the world,
Taipei 101 still maintains its spectacular appearance.
Burj Dubai is currently the tallest building, though still under construction. It is planned to shatter all previous height records.
