Tsunami - before and after squences

These are overlaid images of the tsunami, before and after. Toggle between the two. Found at waveofdestruction.org

I've been waiting for an email. My neighbour has a friend who's been out near Phuket as a diving instructor. Though he says that at 8.30am in the morning, he'd still be pissed and sleeping on the beach. My neighbour asked me to email him. That was four days ago.

BBC: Blog reading explodes in America

About 32 million people in the US read a blog in 2004, says a Pew (pdf) survey. Also 6 million use RSS aggregators and as a reality check on the blogosphere and its prominence, we decided to ask a general question of all internet users: “In general, would you say you have a good idea of what the term internet 'blog' means, or are you not really sure what the term means?” Some 38% of internet users said they had a good idea and 62% said they did not.

Combine this with the rumour that SixApart are buying LiveJournal and 2004 was when Webster said 'blog' was one of the most looked up words, 2005 looks like blogging will finally take off.
