All you have to do is take some photos – which you never delete from your camera – so when someone finds your camera at the bottom of the gorilla pit they are able to locate you and return the lost property to its rightful owner. http://www.andrewmcdonald.net.au/a-picto...

I love this. - Nicholas Kreidberg
I like how everything is clear and readable except the email address. - Alex Scrivener
LOL That's funny, but yeah...what's with the email address being so small? - Admiral Anika
At any rate, I had a video I made with all my info on it. I accidentally took it off my chip, but I'm positive I copied it to my camera. Unfortunately, I don't know how to access my camera's memory and the cord has been lost. One of these days, I'll RTFM. =) - Admiral Anika
that was great.......lol - VAL D. Zone
genius. - Morgan Haley
I like how the facial expressions match the whiteboard :-) - Rene Wirtz
lol that was awesome as hell. I'm definitely planning to do it. - Bora Mesut PALAS
I'd just leave only one pic with my email - Itachi
The other pics build empathy, encouraging a border-line thief to return the camera. Otherwise you may as well stick a label on the case and be done with it. - Alex Scrivener
Does anyone else want to make out with this guy for being SO DAMN AWESOME? Srsly, total panty-dropper this one was. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
@tinypants I totally agree! - vicster is...
God. That really *was* awesome. Anyone hesitating, go on, click the blue arrow so you can read the whole thing XD - Kamilah Gill
this is win. - Colette
he's sweet, but it won't work - topo
this would make an amazing ad : ) - liladreams
wow, this is very close to being the most popular thing I have ever posted to Friendfeed. Just goes to show, um, something. Always use pictures? - Alex Scrivener
took 25 of em ;) - Itachi
ALWAYS use pictures. I try to include a picture with every post. Otherwise, people just pass the post by. It's always been that way. - Jason Huebel
Yes, Always use pictures! For one thing, I might sketch your stuff one day! Also yes, it helps your posts stand out. - Kamilah Gill
Awesome! - Josh Haley
I'm the opposite. I tend to ignore posts with photos (unless the post itself is just a photo). Why? The image usually detracts from the text and people spend time talking about the picture and making it clear they didn't bother to read the text or link. - Admiral Anika
=/ (not about the original post. I already expressed how much I love it) - Kamilah Gill
:) - winckel
Or you could just put an address sticker on the camera... - Alix Whitmire
No, the pictures try to build an emotional connection with the finder. It helps convince a not-so-honest person to return the camera rather than just keep it. It won't stop a real thief, but it could tip the odds in his favor. A sticker can't do that. - Alex Scrivener
There should be a place in your camera for email address, like cell phones have "Home" so when you lose it, someone can call you. Hmmmm. - anna sauce
Brilliant! :D - Carmen - Happy 2010!
I wouldn't ever think to go through pics, but if I found a lost cam (or phone or whatever) with an address clearly visible on it, I'd pop it in the mail, or call/email someone, no problem. Same holds true for some lost and found places. They might call you if there's easy contact info, but I don't see them taking the time to flip through photos to figure out how. Maybe do both? - Alix Whitmire
Creative! - Mehmet Ali Akyol
lol - echostreamer
So good! - Micah Wittman
That's a great idea ! i'm just sad you didn't show it before i left my camera somewhere ... T_T - Duff
that's genius. now all I need is the camera - JSLeFanu
Very Good! - John D Reasor

I was putting a README.txt file on my USB sticks with contact info if it got lost. This is way better! Now take this board with your contact info.... smile, no! put a sad face.... and you're done! - Nenad Nikolic
This is now far and away the most popular thing I have ever posted. Even got a FFundercats Best of the Week! - Alex Scrivener

DeCordova Museum Announces  Million Hamilton James Sculpture Park Acquisition Fund | Art Knowledge News
"LINCOLN, MA.- Dennis Kois, Executive Director of the DeCordova Sculpture Park + Museum, announced the creation of the Hamilton James Sculpture Park Acquisition Fund with a gift of one million dollars. Given by Tony James in honor of his late father Hamilton R. James, the grant consists of a one million dollar gift and a potential future gift of five hundred thousand dollars upon completion of a challenge for the acquisition or commission of seminal major works for DeCordova’s Sculpture Park. This gift, the largest ever given specifically for the Park, recognizes the service and philanthropy of Hamilton R. James, a long-time supporter and former Trustee to the Museum. His widow, Waleska James, continues to be involved as a Museum Guide and member of DeCordova’s Education Committee. "DeCordova has been important to our family and to the Lincoln community where we all lived, for many years" said Tony James. “I am very glad to be able to continue my father's legacy in helping to take DeCordova to a new level behind the strong new leadership of Dennis Kois."" - Kimber Scott from Bookmarklet

A sign you have a crazy neighbor: he takes a lawnmower deck, some pipe, chains and welding supplies to make a hedge trimmer you can pull behind your riding lawn mower. Yes, that's right. My next door neighbor has made a trailer with a real gas lawn mower deck attached on the side so that he can trim his bushes in the most lazy way possible.

I will try to catch a photo of him actually using this ASAP. - Ben Hanten
If you zoom in, you'll notice there is not even a cage to protect his head from debris or flying lawn mower blades. - Ben Hanten
Laziness is the mother of invention. - Kimber Scott
Wow. - joey
can I borrow that? - Jim in Real Time
He is prepared for the Zombies. - CW™
I like it - Charlie Anzman
Oh it would make a great zombie killer, if you were prepared to mow down zombies at 4mph. - Ben Hanten
Good thing Zombies are slow. - CW™
It just seems like your zombies killed per hour (zkph) would be too low with this model. - Ben Hanten
I think there was a Darwin Award winner with something similar a few years ago, but maybe using rope. Either way, spectacular! - Dave Roth
Maybe I will see if I can hire him to do my bushes, too. I'm just interested to learn more; are there drawings? Is this a prototype? Is he freaked out of his mind that a motor is spinning sharp blades behind his head? Also I would like to see him fill this up with gas. And start it. - Ben Hanten
My other neighbor told me this existed and I didn't believe it. I had to snap the picture tonight when I saw it. - Ben Hanten
That's ingenuity for you. Not very safe though. I can imagine hearing "kids get inside, the neighbor is mowing his lawn!" - David C. Cooper
What if you're turned too quickly? Can you imagine that top-heavy trailer tipping over? Holy crap.... - Ben Hanten
that's awesome - Steve C

I woke up this morning to a lawn mower sound! Rushed to the main floor window to take a look. Unfortunately it was just him using the weed eater. I may ask him to do my hedges today. - Ben Hanten
That's awesome. - Jordan Hofker
The hedges are only going to be as even as the ground this machine rolls on. - Matt Soreco
I just noticed now that one of the boxes on the other side is full of bricks for a counterweight. Man. This gets better. - Ben Hanten

Cycle for health schemes offer riders a sense of community, confidence and wellbeing as well as providing physical benefits, writes David Bocking It's easy to forget the magic of cycling when you ride a bike every day. But as a cycling trainer in Sheffield for children and adults who want to ride confidently and safely, I'm frequently reminded of the joy it can bring. "It's like flying, flowing along in the breeze," said one of our trainees recently, after we'd taught her to ride a bike for the first time in her life. Everyone knows cycling is good for the body, but don't forget the mind and spirit too. The guidance from the government's chief medical officer says "Physical activity is effective in the treatment of clinical depression, and can be as successful as psychotherapy or medication, particularly in the long term." It can actually be more successful, say the mental health professionals who work with us, as cycling has almost no negative side effects. And apart from being...

""The wildlife painter François Knopf exposes his strange paintings: different kinds of animals, often of big size, moving in an unadapted world. Animals painted in a realistic way but atmospher lightly surreal or in all cases strange. The bison at breakfast and bisons on a training way, the hippopotamus looking for the river, the elephant on the bank of a lake or in a field covered with snow, the bear on the railway or lying in front of a shop, the pig in the sand box, the cat on the butterfly, the horse and the chess game or the horse in the bedroom, the red-deer in a painting studio, the goose in front of the justice court, the frigate birds on the hot water bottle, the game of the goose, the ballon of the jackdaw, the egyptian plover, the brace of partridges, the ruff, the grouse, the hen and the bobbin, the reddish frog etc"" - Kimber Scott from Bookmarklet

It's sickeningly sad how so many school administrators don't have a clue how to use computers. Students are so much more knowledgeable than most of their teachers in areas of tech. We should be harnessing that, not suppressing it. I know for a fact that many administrators view a tech-savvy teacher with suspicion, not respect.
I worked in a school where the head of strategic IT refused to use a computer & the headteacher banned email because it was 'too democratic'. A great shame. - Emsquared
