Just got back from watching Kong, and it’s certainly a frenetic movie. Lots of action, great special effects. It’s a rousing adventure movie. I’d say more, but then I don’t want to ruin it for anybody…

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Check out this NATURE. Video Clip from PBS of a shark battling an octupus. Whoa. And you’ll need RealPlayer to watch the video. Seriously, this if really cool.

One year after the great wave of the Asian tsunami washed over the Indian Ocean, people paused to remember the hundreds of thousands lost on that fateful day.

2005 was a year of struggle for many of the survivors, picking up the pieces of shattered lives and homes. Much has been accomplished in 12 months, but more help is still needed. I urge readers to donate to the Mercy Corps, they are an excellent relief organization that makes a difference in the lives of those affected by war, natural disaster or famine. Through their help, and that of other aid agencies, famine and disease were averted for the hundreds of thousands of survivors, and the rebuilding process spurred into action.

Please help.
