Caught in the wild. Look carefully. That apple tech is working on a macbook that is running WindowsXP. Somewhere Steve Jobs is weeping.

How to take decent photos by using 8 simple rules. I've never seen the rule of thirds explained like that but it does come in handy. Usually its explained with a 9 square grid, but her method is much easier to visualize and remember. The rest of the rules are good, but for me eight seems a little excessive. For a decent point and shoot shot just be mindful of composition, light, and cropping.

Sorry, You Cannot Give Yourself A Sign Name. How interesting. Its almost cultish. It seems if you are deaf person and want an easy to sign nickname, only the deaf community can give you one. You cant give yourself one nor can immediate family give you one.

Real stone building blocks. This looks neat. I wonder if you have to wedge keystones into arches to keep them up. Unfortunately, its almost a dollar a piece.

Free online tax returns over at H&R block That is if you make under $53,000 a year and have pretty simple tax requirements. Its handy but at the same time its pretty disgraceful that the IRS hasn't setup its own web forms for simple returns like the 1040EZ. Paying a free for the priveldge of doing my taxes online and generating less work for the IRS is just wrong.

10 dollars buys a family in Africa a malaria bed net. Better yet the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are matching donations.
