I'm old enough to remember when this was considered cool CGI. Of course we didn't even know the term CGI back then.

I always wondered where he was in Hard Days Night.  Leave it to the net to point it out:  Phil Collins of Genesis as an extra in the Beatles Hard Days Night.

This is not good.

US air support for medical helicopters drastically cutback in Afghanistan, leading to needless deaths of the wounded.

This is one of the best intro's to a jousting movie you'll ever see. What made it even funnier were the critics who were like "you know, Queen's We Will Rock You didn't come out until after the Middle Ages were long gone".  

Duh.

Moment Spurs fans think Newcastle equalized against Arsenal, only to learn later they hadn't and Spurs were Europa Cup bound.

Spent two hours trying to fix a coding problem on a server. Eventually gave up and rebooted.

Then spent two more hours learning a new, more elegant and simple way to do what I was trying to do in the first place. Tested it, only to discover the rebooted server was now performing as it should and I didn't need to redo the code.

Not sure to chalk that down as a learning experience or a big waste of time.

Growing up in the late 70s in rural America, I can still remember driving around in the cornfields listening to music like this, windows down without much of a care in the world. 

Sometimes I regret living in big city.

Just imagine if there was no KFC in Shenzhen. The smugglers would be all over the East Rail line with bags of this stuff.

Of course the guys here have it a bit rougher to get their KFC fix.

For those of you who want everything in single column...

While one can set his or her streams to a single column by clicking on "More" on the bar towards the top, this does not work for profiles or searches, which will still show up in multiple columns. There is a solution to this, at least if you are using a PC with Windows 7 (I've no idea about other computers or devices).  Go to "Settings" on the menu at the left of the screen, then go to "Accessibilty" and check it. If it works as it did on my machine, then it should set everything from Profiles to Searches to Communities to a nice, linear, single column.

Feel free to share this post!

According to neuroscientist Susan Greenfield, society's love affair with screens - whether video gaming or social media - may be significantly altering the development of the brain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22283452

While Baroness Greenfield has yet to conclude whether screens are doing harm or good, her contribution adds to the discussion of how much time we should spend living our lives online.

So are screens rotting our brains - or improving them?
