@RonnieS thanks for the kudos. We did the Black Widow Venom quick because of the release date. There will be plenty more to come soon.

We just released our second video that we have produced here. This one is a lot better than our first, but we still have so much to learn.

Scuba Fun
My niece just sent me pictures that I had forgotten about. I guess she was looking through some old email and she thought it was funny that they were still online. She has so much to learn about how permanent the Internet really is.
This is why I think it is so funny when people are shocked when they get fired from a job because of things they post on MySpace or other similar sites. You are responsible for what you say, even in your own time. Things you put out on the Internet will live on forever, even if your feelings don’t.
You should not write something online when you are angry or upset. Ultimately those feeling will probably go away or get resolved. But if you offend or “burn a bridge”, then it doesn’t matter if you are over something, you may have lost a chance at something great because of a moment of anger.
I will get off my soap box now. Here are the pictures my niece (Destinee) found/reminded me of Scuba Diving. Enjoy!

Google Adds a More “Human Element” to Search Results
According to TechCrunch: it looks like a random sampling of people are getting to “vote” on the results that they receive for search results. This human element will help google know if their automatic algorithms are working well.
This will probably also be a new part of the Google Algorithm. It is currently in “bucket testing”, which is a random sampling of people testing the service without their knowledge. If Google gets a decent reaction and the service seems usable, they will release it to the experimental area where anyone can test this feature.
Google continues to dominate the web space. I look forward to seeing their next “big” idea.
