#1 Blue Hole, Lighthouse Reef, Belize (great snorkeling!), #2 South Dakota Tornado, #3 Breaking Surf, Bora-Bora, French Polynesia - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet
We're going to be in Belize in 1 week! - Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: The juices in Belize are amazing. They make fresh juices at road stands, and fill used 1 liter Sprite/Coke bottles. Water is amazing. Sharks and rays swam through our legs. So used to tourists, you can touch them. Budget place for water stuff (as is the Red Sea - around Egypt & Sinai Peninsula). Egypt was 10 Euro for an 8-hr boat ride (including lunch & snorkel gear). Forget how much Belize was... - Mitchell Tsai
I had such a GREAT time in Belize a few years back! What a great trip. Have a most excellent time Benjamin! Be sure to check out "Dready's" on Ambergris Caye and stay away from the kids who feed chickens to 25' crocs! :D - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Love the of the Blue hole, my home country Belize - jamar78
Joel: What are your suggestions for Benjamin? - Mitchell Tsai
We are only going to be there for 1 day (part of a cruise) - Benjamin Golub
I would definitely visit Altun-Ha, a Mayan Ruin. - jamar78
Joel: How does Altun-Ha compare to Caracol? I went to Caracol a few years ago. Met a guy from Houston who grew up there and never knew it was a Maya ruin until it appeared on the news ~5-8 yrs ago - "Hey, that's my hometown." - Mitchell Tsai
I grew up in Belize City, I prefer Altun-ha - jamar78
Thanks Joel! I'll check out Altun-ha next time I'm in Belize also. Have you visited Tikal or any of the Mayan sites in Guatemala? I was thinking about visiting Tikal last visit, but did the closer Caracol instead. When I visited Caracol, it had only been excavated for 2-3 years, so it was new.. - Mitchell Tsai
Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to do so. Have you ever been to the Belize Zoo? - jamar78
Nope. What's it like? - Mitchell Tsai
It's a very nice zoo, smack in the middle of the Belizean rain forest - jamar78

@TechCrunch @arrington "we have been given the green light by Twitter to post this information" What?! By whom? That's not our understanding
"It’s important to note that we have been given the green light by Twitter to post this information - They aren’t happy about it, but they are able to live with it, they say (more on why they did that in our later post)." - Eric Schonfeld http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Daniel J. Pritchett
Wow, what a day. Ah, startup security. :) - Damon Cortesi
ouch - Nick Halstead
I gotta say for any company that was in negotiations with Twitter that latest post from TC was massively damanging - Nick Halstead

Photos of Mars canyons beamed back to Earth - Telegraph
"Some of the clearest pictures ever of the surface of Mars have been beamed back to Earth from a European Space Agency probe." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
Do you reckon they will find life, if there is water there then it's highly likely! - Joe Dawson
Here comes another RAPatton news blitz (not complaining) - Toby Graham
Almost done for now, Toby! - RAPatton
@joe if there is no real atmosphere, life can be *disinfected* by space radiation (alpha- and gamma- particles) - A.T.
I'd love to terraform mars, but I suspect when the time comes their will be a preservationist movement that will seek to stop it. - RAPatton
@RAPatton, Maybe we should terraform it regardless. I think one day it will be necessary to give the human race's chances of continued survival a boost. The cost may prove cheap one day. - Mo Kargas
I am all for it! Start dropping comets on Mars ASAP as far as I am concerned. - RAPatton
Wow - these photos are simply astonishing. - Sean McBride
like Sean said. amazing pictures - Nathan Rein
I'm shamelessly grabbing this for my Mento feed. Wonder where the Telegraph got the photos; I don't see anything like this on the Phoenix site. - Nathan Rein
The images are from the ESA's Mars Express, not from Phoenix. - RAPatton
The colorspace is very 1960s/1970s. It almost feels like these were taken during the Mariner program - Mark Trapp
Probably Mars haven't changed very much since '70s? - 9000
Nice!!! - Mitchell Tsai
@9000 Not been much development in that area? ;) - Ian May
That is amazing... - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

jeresig on Ending The ga.js Wait - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I think something like this could work (haven't tested it, but the premise holds - you're dynamically loading the script at a later time, rather than inline using a document.write). var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); jQuery.getScript(gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js", function(){ _gat._getTracker("UA-8245545-1")._trackPageview(); });" - John Resig

RT: jeresig - jQuery 1.3 Beta 1 is out - help us test! http://blog.jquery.com/2008...

jeresig on jQuery removes all browser sniffing - http://reddit.com/r...
"The commit needs to be read a little more closely: // Use of jQuery.browser is deprecated. // It's included for backwards compatibility and plugins, // although they should work to migrate away. We're keeping jQuery.browser for the foreseeable future but we want developers to move away from using it - and the best way to get developers to do that is to become a good example of proper development patterns. To be clear: The points included in $.support are mostly browser bug specific (IE bugs that can't be tested with normal object detection) - and they don't encompass every possible bug (only about a dozen or so). It's expected that other developers will add their own testing points in the future. Also, in that commit I forgot to land the actual support.js file - it can be found here: http://dev.jquery.com/browser..." - John Resig
John Resig
They said it couldn't be done: jQuery no longer uses any browser/useragent sniffing! http://dev.jquery.com/changes...

TechCrunch’s Yertle the Turtle Tantrum Over News Embargoes | Kara Swisher | BoomTown | AllThingsD
"Yesterday, the one-man-band of a tech blogger, Michael Arrington, let loose with yet another outrageously indignant diatribe–this time that he and his TechCrunch site would forthwith break all news embargoes. Not content with the traffic generated last week by his obviously faked Wrestlemania bout with French entrepreneur Loic Le Meur about the lazy-lunching Europeans, he moved on to a more promising, but ultimately meaningless riff on PR people versus journalists over embargo-breaking." - Dave Winer from Bookmarklet
I don't give a shit who wins this one but I gotta say Kara is a great writer. Wow. - Dave Winer
Wow, no kidding. Love Kara's writing a whole bunch. - Bob M. Montgomery from twhirl
Great article. It made me laugh. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
What the hell? Kara Swisher swiped my Your the Turtle rant from just a few days ago! http://tinyurl.com/3jq5oz - Dawn
Kara/Dawn chickfight! *gets out the baby oil* - Matthew DeVries
Matthew: Damn right! I think it sucks that she so blatantly stole the basic Yertle the Turtle idea from me. I made a comment on her article but so far it's "awaiting moderation." - Dawn
Dawn: D: Not from you. What a ridiculous assertion. I never saw your piece and have never seen your blog either and Yertle the Turtle is my kid's favorite book. Sorry, but you don't get dibs on "Green Eggs and Ham" either or, god forbid, "Hop on Pop." And your comment is not in moderation and is published--another canard. Good lord. - Kara
Ridiculous? How long has this been your daughter's favorite book? How long has Michael Arrington been an ego maniac? But you put the two together three days after I did. Yeah, okay, it was just a coincidence. As for "canard," what I said was absolutely accurate. You didn't approve my message till you saw this here. Another coincidence, I'm sure. Merry Christmas. - Dawn
Let me walk you through all your new specious remarks: Yes, ridiculous. I have two sons and no daughters and my oldest has loved it since he was three (he is almost seven). I have loved it for much longer than that as I am old. I have no idea how long, but I have regularly written pieces about him and TechCrunch and rants like this (you might have checked). I have never read your blog... more... - Kara
It was pure coincidence that we both used Yertle. How in the world can I track all uses of the book? Lots of people have read this book and use the Yertle comparison for all sorts of stuff. Look, here's one I just found using Yertle as a metaphor for Alabama's Tax Code from November 26th! Did you "borrow" that? That sounds about as ridiculous as what you are saying about me. Like I... more... - Kara
I <3 Kara - Clint Ecker
Kara: I blocked Dawn and so can't see her remarks. Glad to see she is bugging you instead of me. - Robert Scoble
Go Kara! - Mike Doeff
So many fights these days. Snow or Recession? - Jeremy Chone
No offense taken, Kara. I never heard of you either. - Dawn
Silly fight. As a writer I see coincidences and parallelisms all the time. Can we just say that "great minds think alike"? - Rod Bauer from twhirl
I love Dr. Suess--Somehow this one got past me... - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Okay, Kara and I just kissed and made up on her blog. I'm sure you don't want to miss that, Matthew! lol - Dawn

Dawn, really, you had never heard of Kara Swisher? She's pretty huge in the sphere of bloggers who cover Silicon Valley and tech. - Laura Norvig
