I've checked out a bunch of the major uber-blogs. Sticky apps designed
to create social networks. Probably half of all US teenagers are on one
of the things. It's mighty lonely being an old geezer in one of these
places. You never get invited to anything of significance save perhaps
an an occasional FBI sting. Why is an old geezer checking out sites
where teens hang out? But I don't really care who's on the things, I'm
just checking out the software. I also figured out what was missing.
These sites appeal to youth because they're all designed around
creating lists of 'friends' who all read and comment on their other
friends. Us adults don't usually blog to socialize. How to turn a
weblog into an indispensable tool? I know. Anybody want to start a
software company?

TechnoratiThe black bear used to be one of the most commonly seen large animals
because in Yosemite and Sequoia national parks they lived off of garbage
and tourist handouts. This bear has learned to open car doors in
Yosemite, where damage to automobiles caused by bears runs into the tens
of thousands of dollars a year. Campaigns to bearproof all garbage
containers in wild areas have been difficult, because as one biologist
put it, "There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence levels
of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."
