Another long day followed by a long (but pleasant) meeting over dinner; we managed to drink a bottle each.  So it's going to be like that, is it?

A really important resource: the Western States Ride Calendar.  Every known organized cycling ride in the Western U.S.  Wow how cool is that? 

Monster Monday: Surf's up as biggest waves in five years come to Hawaii.  Wow, those are cool.  I am a wimp when it comes to surfing, but we all love looking at those huge waves, don't we?

Google's Chrome browser now has extensions.  Yay.  Give me Adblock, and Firefox may be history. 

Facebook pushes people to go public.  I predict this will not end well.  I knew enough to explicitly switch all the preferences back to private, but I bet many many people will not, and Facebook will never be the same.

TTAC reports Speed Cameras Gift Wrapped in the Netherlands.  As they should be, everywhere.  Big brother please take a hike. 

From the Onion: Alphabet updated with 15 exciting new letters.  Paging Dr. Suess, some people stop at the Z, but not me!  I love it :) 

ZooBorn of the day: a tiny Kimodo Dragon.  See even baby giant lizards are cute!
