Chilean Miners finally getting some fresh air.

It took them a couple of months, but these Chilean miners were able to surface back up to the real world.

I gotta hand it to these guys. It's bad enough to be stuck in a cramped place for so long.. but the fact that it was 90 degrees in there.

90 effing degrees, cramped, 30 some odd guys all sweating their asses off. How uncomfortable is that?





Jesus... they've managed to pick up 17 out of the 33 miners from that hell hole and there's already talks of book deals, movies and other offerings for these guys.

My question is this.

Knowing fully that you would be given these once in a lifetime chance at celebrity status, would you endure 3 months of 90 degree weather, intermittent food supplies and just the fact that you're next to 32 other sweaty dudes?

I'd have to say, I couldn't do it.  No matter how much money is thrown at the table.  3 months of this hell. 
Hell to the no.

Facebook making some changes...about smeggin time.

Apparently, Facebook notified the Associated Press that they were going to announce something at 10;30am today.

Company selling to ze' Google?
Mark Zuckerberg approving his recently created movie?

So, apparently Facebook is going to overhaul on user control. Zuckerberg's Facebook will allow all files and information to be downloaded in a zip file for comfort and ease.

Second, they plan on making Facebook more automated in creating lists that you can later edit. Personally, I'm a big fan of lists. That's how I get crap done.


Third, they're going to make it more streamlined when it comes to social networking. Let's just say you created a group within friends.. and a random person is invited in. Your group will be notified of the invite and will have the option of blocking or allowing that person to join in.

Interesting nonetheless... but I guess I'm a spoiled littl kid. I wanted more..



Official announcement from Facebook's blog page.
