I’m a sucker for little squirrels, and they totally got me with the banner campaign.

It’s a tight little site for upstate vacations. It’s too bad that the Amtrak Map doesn’t better integrate the destinations marked on the front page…

That said, Tickets are 20% off. Anybody want to take a train trip?

The roundbelly cowfish is the latest addition to my pet wishlist. (More translucent creatures on National Geographic

Like Miss Heart Explosion herself, this gallery of glamorous sea slugs is totally adorable.

There’s video too, but not slugs in motion, just slideshows.
Somebody should totally do Microcosmos:Glamour Slugs.

we managed to stake out a really awesome spot in East River Park for the Fireworks, and probably had 30ish friends with blankets and board games and umbrellas.

Super Fun.

Plans for capture

Dude! What Neighborhood is this in?!

I TOTALLY had one of these birds land in my yard a few years ago, obviously freaked out, and I had no idea what to do.

I ran inside to get my roommate and while we were deliberating the bird flew into a yard a few houses down.

If only I had stuck my finger out!

I really hope that someday I have the opportunity to rescue/capture an missing/fugitive bird.

Maybe this one. That would be awesome.

Getty Images worked with the Barbarian Group to create Moodstream, which launched last night… Check it out!

This thing is so awesome. It’s so awesome! You gotta try it.What is Moodstream? It’s a concepting tool. The modern version of the fireplace. An interactive art piece. TV for the future. It’s a website we created for and with Getty Images to showcase all of their offerings – still, video and sound – and inspire interactive creatives. And it’s really, really fun to use.

According to a commenter on my flickr:

Believe it or not, this is a Crayola collector’s treasure! These and other gross-sized boxes of Binney & Smith would sell on Ebay for $25 to $35 per container!

UPDATE: I just decided I should make this a scavenger hunt.

I happened to have my camera when I found the first four leaf clover of 2008.

The first person to correctly identify said four leaf clover and tag with a note on the flickr photo page will win a super limited edition prize: THE 2008 FIRST FOUR LEAF CLOVER COMMEMORATIVE PACK!

The 2008 first four leaf clover commemorative prize pack includes the actual four leaf clover pictured above, pressed and mounted alongside a copy of this photo and a certificate of authenticity. The winner can reenact the photohunt again and again to the amazement of family and friends.

Lucky You?
Happy Hunting!

a really excellent commercial-but I totally wrote it off as a citibank ad because of the red umbrella.

Turns out, it’s for Traveler’s Insurance.

I suppose the umbrella is a pretty great symbol of protection and reliability and all the other stuff banks and insurance companies want to be associated with…

It’s true that this is a better red umbrella ad then any thing i’ve seen from Citi, if i was traveler’s insurance- my umbrella would not be red.

American Airlines to Start Charging for All Checked Bags :(:

At this point, the number of reasons to hate american airlines is getting very close to the number of american airlines frequent flyer miles I have accumulated.

Ouch.

Dearest Friends, Family, Collegues, and the world of Web 2.0,

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder what more we all could be doing with this Web 2.0 of ours. There have been several champions using this platform of the interwebs, working towards positive goals, and I’d like to add a mission to that and support our friends, family members, colleges, and even friends of friends that are fighting a blood cancer such as leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma.

In truly desiring to do something more for those fighting the good fight against cancer, I am taking on the challenge of training for and running the 2008 Nike Woman’s Marathon in San Francisco on October 19th (5 months away!) as a way to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with Team In Training.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help STOP leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of ALL individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, but I need YOUR support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

As part of the Web 2.0 Community, I know the power of the Internet, and I know that even if you aren’t able to donate even $5, by passing this to ALL of your friends, followers, collegues, and family members, AND by blogging and twittering about this effort, we can reach my team’s goal of raising $1 million dollars! I’ve set my personal goal at $10,000, but I know that many of you have over that many followers on Twitter alone, or maybe even that many readers on your blogs, so imagine if you asked every single person to donate $1, $2, or even $5!! We could put a serious dent in this effort to find a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS’s mission, and PLEASE link to this in your blogs, and pass it around to your co-workers. I know many of you have started your own companies, and by donating on behalf of your company, it becomes a tax-deductable donation. Also, there are a TON of companies that match donations, so don’t forget to ask!

I’m hoping to start video-blogging and posting photos and notes from my training efforts, so to keep up check back here, and check out my FUNDRAISING PAGE!

Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support, I can’t do this with out you!!!

xo, Michelle

Hey EVERYONE!! This is so very important, please reblog!!!

Her Cause is good, and she is Running for it!

Let’s go Internet! Give this girl some Money!

WetHotanta2010!!!:

The Georgia Aquarium is adding 1.5 million Gallons, and some dolphins, in an expansion race to trump all other aquariums in the battle for the title of “Greatest Aquarium in the World.”

Other contenders vying for the title are a new aquarium in Dubai (building an even bigger aquarium window) and Shedd aquarium in Chicago (calling itself “The world’s aquarium” because it already has dolphins).

This is a battle I can get behind!

I love you, Chicago, But WetHotLanta is pretty superdoooper.

www.angels.com is not for sale:

I’m taking a trip to the OC for baseball purposes, and i was looking for the LAAA (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) site for a game schedule.

I dorkout gambled ot see if they had the domain name-

Alas, it turns out angels.com is the subject of a spendy little international trademark/cybersquatter battle that the MLB club lost.

Personally, if i had spent as much time and money fighting this international IP Battle, I would have put some more awesome content on the angels.com page.

If you too want to dorkout IP style, the documentation from the arbitration is pretty awesome.
