Not sure what kind of bird this is, or if it's even a bird. It wouldn't cooperate by turning to face me… a grouse maybe?

I think the tail is too long for a Spruce Grouse. I think it's a female Ring-necked Pheasant.

Do bacteria make it rain? Is our destruction of ecosystems affecting rain formation? Did bacteria invent rain in order to transport themselves around the world? Ok, maybe that last bit is science fiction.

"Jaroslav Flegr is no kook. And yet, for years, he suspected his mind had been taken over by parasites that had invaded his brain. So the prolific biologist took his science-fiction hunch into the lab. What he’s now discovering will startle you. Could tiny organisms carried by house cats be creeping into our brains, causing everything from car wrecks to schizophrenia?"

Klamath River Overlook. The first time I went there it was so foggy you couldn't see anything, but the weather was much better this time. It's a short drive off of 101 between Eureka and Crescent City, just north of the bridge over Klamath River.

I love that area -- haven't been for a long time. I stayed at the hostel near there twice, and had such a great time hiking in Redwood National Forest.

If you turn left just before the river, you'll end up on the road you can see in the photo. That's a good one too. For this view though you'll want to turn left a little bit after the river, on Requa Road.

I love this area; I try to visit at least once a year. I usually stay in McKinleyville.

I haven't been there since the '80s but I loved that part of CA. We were bike riding from Brookings, OR to LA and it was a helluva way to see it.

"A flood of historic proportions hit this region just before Christmas, 1964. The sign here shows the high water level through this region. This point is 47 miles (75 km) upstream from the river's Pacific Ocean discharge near Ferndale, California. "
- Amit Patel
from Bookmarklet
I drove by this sign, then looked it up on Google Earth. It looks like the river is 130 feet below the sign level, which would suggest that flood was truly epic.

Amit, I'd like to ask you something privately, but I can't because you're not subscribed to me.

Cristo, do you want me to subscribe to you? :-) Or you can email me at amitp@cs.stanford.edu…
- Amit Patel
I subscribe to Cristo's comments.
- Mike Nencetti
I've never understood the subscribing of comments on friendfeed. It seems redundant, but maybe I'm missing something. Is it that you want the comments, but don't want the posts?
- Cristo
I subscribe to people, not comments, but then I filter out many of their posts (especially things auto-posted from elsewhere).

Me too, especially anything from Twitter. If I want to read tweets, I'll go there.

It's using the same effect as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch... I'm guessing the show uses 5 gal. trash bags. And there is about a 50% increase in efficiency by taking advantage of the effect. I'd assume it would be even more pronounced when dealing with the restricted airflow and pressure requirement of a check valve.

I have crows at my house, and they start squawking whenever I walk outside. They'll swoop down over my head and then fly back into a tree, then repeat. Instead of me being a scarecrow that scares them away, they're being scarecrows that scare me away. :-/

Reasons why FB bought FF in order of priority (pure speculation on my part): 1. Talent acquisition. 2. Technology acquisition. 3. Possibly patent acquisition. 4. As a test bed for trying out different approaches to how the FB news feed could work. 5. Eliminate part of the social media competition and prevent FF from being acquired by Google or Twitter. Andy, they paid $50 million or so for this place. They're not going to give the code away for free.

I think we can rule out #4
- Greg GuitarBuster
Greg, it certainly didn't pan out that way, but some of the speculation during the time of the purchase asserted that was part of the idea.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
This site obviously has no current use to FB, since it's barely being maintained, so presumably it's mission accomplished and it was worth the $50 million.
