Find your hobby.

Which hobby best suits your personality? Mine would be travel (if I had the time and money).
Getting there is half the fun and for you the other half of the fun means going even further once you're there. You're ready to travel anywhere at the drop of a hat: your passport is always up to date and you get diphtheria shots as your normal course of a doctor visit. All your clothing is made from thin, wickable, engineered fabric, so it travels light and layers well for any climate. You might like hobbies like travel blogging, backpacking across the globe.

Take the test to find yours! Link -via the Presurfer

Bentley Continental rebranded as a Hyundai.


Autoblog has photos of a Bentley Continental GT adorned with Hyundai badges. Is it a statement, or did the owner lose a bet? Link -Thanks, Bill!

Live Earth Concerts.

Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.

Live Earth will reach this worldwide audience through an unprecedented global media architecture covering all media platforms - TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels.

Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and other international organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth.


To watch Live Earth performances from New York, London, Johannesburg, Rio, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, and Hamburg, click here. I hope you have better luck with it than I did; I only have a very old version of Internet Explorer, which is required for live viewing. Other browsers can choose videos by city. You can also watch various venues on TV. http://www.liveearth.org/event.php

Window blows at 20,000 feet.

Flight nurse Chris Fogg was transporting a patient on June 27th when the plane window exploded. The twin-engine piper turboprop was cruising at 20,000 feet at the time! Fogg was sucked halfway out the window, with only his legs and one arm inside the plane. He managed to hold one while the pilot dived to a lower altitude to stabilize the cabin pressure, then pulled himself back into the plane. Uninjured, Fogg flew again the next day.

Octosquid.


What seems to be a new species of squid has been found in Hawaii. The creature was retreived from a deep-sea water filter at the Natural Energy Laboratory.
According to Richard Young, an oceanography professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the specimen tentatively belongs to the genus Mastigoteuthis, but the species is undetermined.

War, who termed the specimen "octosquid" for the way it looked, said it was about a foot long, with white suction cups, eight tentacles and an octopus head with a squidlike mantle.

Mastigoteuthis {wiki} is the whiplash squid. Link -via Metafilter
