I got hooked on legal gossip with the late lamented Groklaw. Lowering the Bar takes a different approach... http://www.loweringthebar.net/2014/08/town-sues-all-its-citizens.html

LOHAN (the Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator) project has to do an emergency re-locate to New Mexico from Spain (a comedy of bureaucratic idiocies) and even El Reg's pockets are not bottomless. Plus, mission patches.  http://kck.st/1saLIZH

This is why it is important to choose your fish wisely - and why factory ships are such a menace. h/t to Alicia Smith for the share. Originally shared by XL Catlin Seaview Survey Five Decades of Overfishing Between 1950 and 2014 the #ocean has seen a lot of changes. For example, Pacific Bluefin #Tuna, #sharks, and North Atlantic Cod were all almost fished to extinction. Only between 5% and 10% remain. This #infographic #gif is from the Mission Blue documentary on the life and work of ocean legend Sylvia A. Earle.

h/t to Pamela Smith  Originally shared by Perth Zoo Perth Zoo’s elephants Permai and Tricia spray painted Lisa Fernandez from The Today Show this morning. Our eles love to paint! Better yet, their artwork is sold to raise money to help save elephants in the wild!

Our commute takes us through the "Polly Pipe", so named for Graham "Polly" Farmer, for whom the Graham Farmer Freeway is named. To try and distract myself, I took a few shots, and produced this very SFinal result.

Sadly, due to a falling water table and moving to a sewer system from septic tanks, it is struggling to find water, and this may be one of the last seasons that it flowers.

Tonight's dessert. Homemade gluten-free bookaj, using layered rice paper sheets in place of the filo.

Because there's more to designing for women than changing the colour. OK? Originally shared by Nicole S. Young Camera Bags: A Rant of Frustration from a Woman's Perspective, by @nicolesy: I’m a woman, and I like purses and bags. I am also a photographer, and so with that I tend to collect lots of cool bags. Yay, bags! I have more than I will use, some come and go with my photography style or locations I travel to, and some have stuck… http://photofocus.com/2014/08/15/camera-bags-a-rant-of-frustration-from-a-womans-perspective

Boingboing finds some real gems. Like this one... I'll also add that quantum physicists have very good senses of humour.

This is great! Choice's article about boardgaming is a really good read, and mentions some of the great gateway Eurogames (TTR, SoC, etc). Originally shared by Alicia Smith Choice magazine, that's a consumer magazine that reviews products and is a citizen advocate for consumers in Australia, has an article about board gaming in this month's issue. http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/entertainment/Visual/video-games/back-to-the-tabletop.aspx

Seen via many friends. Boosting the signal. Originally shared by Kerry Wright "According to this definition, metadata is not what you type on a device or say over the phone, but rather the footprint that's left behind. For instance, when you use a phone or mobile, this includes the number called, the location from which the call is made, and the duration of the call", writes Ben Grubb and James Massola in the Sydney Mornig Herald.

Before heading around the corner to see the Perth skyline, we stopped at the jet-ski ramp, and took in the view across Melville Water.

Another (wider) take on the classic Perth skyline. #WeeklyPhotoProject2014  Weekly Photo Project 2014  curated by Thomas Gillingham , Maurice Loy  , Samantha OBrien , Navin Upendran , Andrew Dobrucki , Bernhard Rembold , Robyn King , Francesco Scaglioni , ben wong  #WPP2014-Wk14-Symmetry Week 14 : Symmetry Another part of my catch-up.

Perth Skyline from South Perth foreshore.  On our way back from movies night at a friend's place, we had to stop for the view.
