Wacky website of the day

“I'm sure it was.”

“Well that looks very snuggly! I hope nothing startles it and causes the claws to come out, though.”

“If I have to be reincarnated, that kitten might be my choice. ;-)”

“Dang Tilt that sign language one was harsh.”

“Well, yeah.... in places....   < G >     Raised on Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx; what can I say.

Also --- had to compensate somewhat for the kitties.  There was an imbalance in the Force.”

“And what exactly is wrong with kitties, Tilt?”

“Don't want to overdose on 'cute' do ya?  LOL     'Moderation in all things,' donchaknow ----”

“Yeah but kitties are cute in an evil kind of way!”

“For a second, I thought that was that 'animated cat'.... You Know The One.”

“uh oh.

"ElfYourself Loading...."”

“ye gods and little fishes.”

“haha, that elfyourself is going to be the Christmas rage. I have seen it all over the last couple days.

“Hey HOI, who are all the old farts in that elf yourself video?”

“mala, stumpknocker, skidsteer, that guy

I've met the first three

stumpknocker will be starting a NOBO of the AT on New Years Day - I hope to get to Springer to see him off

Skidsteer is the guy who gave me the alcohol burner that I use during cold weather

mala is well known for trail magic and hiker feeds on the AT - a well liked guy and member of Billville”

“From what I've seen, tt is the whacky website of the day, every day.”

“damn you tilt, the minutes I have wasted waiting for the next photo is quite similar to waiting for a new post to appear on TT”

Biological Moon Shot
Realizing the dream of a Web page for every living thing

Susan Milius


Richard Pyle hasn't gotten a congratulatory crate of free diapers. But he's one of the fathers, in a sense, of the first fish species named in 2008. Quintuplet species even. The journal Zootaxa posted descriptions of five damselfish on Jan. 1 that Pyle and his colleagues at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu found using a specialized mix of gases to push beyond the depth limits of conventional SCUBA gear.

In a few weeks, the rest of us will be able to catch up on such frontiers of exploration a lot more easily. A sweeping informatics project called the Encyclopedia of Life is scheduled to launch its first trial entries on the Web in late February (SN: 5/12/07, p. 294). According to the plan, the encyclopedia portal will provide access to roughly 30,000 Web pages of specialists' data—one page for each of the known species of fish.

And that's just a baby step. Unveiled in May 2007, the Encyclopedia of Life project envisions such powerful tools for managing and centralizing biological information that a decade from now anyone visiting www.eol.org should find the Mother Nature of all encyclopedias: easy access to a Web page with definitive, current information on each species on Earth.

Encyclopedia of Life


Mostly fish for now, but eventually they hope to have every known species catalogued.

“LOL!

“No, there's absolutely nothing silly about christianity. Nothing at all.”

“The theological and Biblical foundation of such an enterprise are highly dubious and un-supported. In fact the Bible specifically says such an action would occur in an instant. So the three day log in and three day fail safe systems would seem to be out of sync with the project pattern of the rapture.”

“this is so cool...i heard this on NPR this morning
