Twitter: It's Not Just for What You Had For Breakfast, Anymore
Just when you thought Twitter was completely useless (yahoo news)
"They've cut off telephone, e-mail, texting, and for foreign press issued a letter saying nobody can report without permission…Twitter is the one thing being used. It’s a sign of crackdown. They don’t want people outside Iran to see what’s going on there."
As the embattled regime of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejadseemingly cuts off Iran from the rest of the world, Iranians are working around the restrictions by blogging, posting to Facebook, and organizing protests on Twitter.
When Santa Barbara has its two big forest fires in the last year, Twitter was amazing for real time updates.
#IranElection is the hot tag.

First Oracle/Sun joke
David Geary just made a joke in a demo about Sun's address soon being
Redwood City. That's the first joke I've heard about the verboten topic.
Oracle is the Lord Voldemort of JavaOne 09

Yellowstone (no bears), Wyoming, and Back Again
I could pretty much spend the whole time posting pictures of geothermal features in Yellowstone were there not pictures of horses at the Bar-N-Ranch, Bison, Baby Bison, and the Potato Museum to show.

Idaho!
A quick catch-up, even if it's now days behind. Here in Jackson, WY, we have the first semi-fast enough wireless, though it's been viciously flaky. I got a few pictures up, tho. This is us in Southern Idaho: Visiting Craters of the Moon National Monument, and EBR-1, the world's first breeder reactor, and place that first generated Nuclear Power!
