- Probably some of the most photographed bacon in the world. Link
- It’s been over a decade that I’ve been to a skating rink. I remember going to skating parties as a kid, and that weird feeling after taking them off and walking around and still feeling as if I should be rolling.
- I remember being a decent skater in elementary school, and didn’t attempt to skate again until I was in college. It was one of those things I where I thought it was like hopping on a bicycle, you know, that you never forget. Boy, was I wrong.
- Interesting pictures from China’s electronic waste village. Link
- Let me let me let me upgrade . . .

- Keira Knightley is set to play his wife in an upcoming movie. I think she plays too many period movies.
- I’ve only seen the first three seasons of 24, and wish I would have caught the season premier even though I would be out of the loop regarding everything in between.
- The CBS show The Big Bang Theory is growing on me. I actually know people that would refuse to watch that show because it would interfere with their creationalist beliefs.
- I really connected with How I Met Your Mother last night. Let’s just say me and Marshall worry about the same things while we are at work.
- For the first time since jet airliners took to the sky, U.S. carriers have gone two years without a single passenger fatality. Article
