Assorted Links

What's more fun than telling long-distance friends how much nicer your weather is? Doing it graphically! My most recent bookmark: WeatherSpark.

E.O. Wilson's TED wish, a collaborative biology wiki, the Encyclopedia of Life. I hope to contribute some images of Bungarus multicinctus before leaving Taiwan.

A new data and statistics search engine, Zanran. Check out this search of "accidental deaths in the United States". The preview feature is nice, huh?

Boracay

Boracay is really beautiful and overrun by tourists. I enjoyed both.

Below are some snaps. It was nice finally giving my underwater camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2) a workout. Lighting is tricky underwater, and I was at the mercy of sunlight. Next time, I'll bring a lighting source. 

Also, can anyone help identify what picture five is? Snake or eel?  

I am...

...not drinking an avocado smoothie anymore! Sorry about the lack of posts. I've been lazy. Really lazy.

Anyhow, I am going to the Philippines for a few days.

It's much needed - teaching is awful. I'd like to think I'll come back rejuvenated, with renewed enthusiasm, but that's unlikely because teaching is awful. I'll Tell you about it when I'm back.

And so much more.

Also, I'll take lots of pictures above and below water.
