One Liners:

• photoblogs.org - photoblogging resources.
• sun setup an employee blog space at blogs.sun.com, ‘accessible to any Sun employee to write about anything’.
• bustymousepads - they finally got a new shipment! ;)
• irfanview - free quick image viewer, similar to acdsee.

• April 13, 2029, the end of the world? Only if it hits the earth. Better odds than winning the lottery!
• Also in orbit, the international space station will be visible in the states early mornings the next few days. Check this list by location.
