Holy crap this is a big truck!!

P.S. by Brendan: Again bringing my new readers up to speed… my wife Becky is helping her friends Kristy and Vikki move to Denver, and they are liveblogging the road trip. Yesterday, B & K drove from Manchester, NH to Buffalo, NY to pick up V. Today, they hit the road for Colorado. More details here. You can view all of their posts here.

P.S. by Brendan: For my new readers (11,088 hits and counting today!) who don’t know what the heck this is about, click here for an explanation. Basically, my wife Becky is helping her friends Kristy and Vikki move to Denver. Their road trip begins tomorrow, and they’ll be liveblogging via cell phone.

The Union Leader, New Hampshire’s statewide newssource, has a link to a fantastic article on the first page. Can you figure out which one it is??

Okay, if not, here’s a hint: it links to this story.

UPDATE BY BRENDAN: In keeping with the tried-and-true rule of online journalism that people are more likely to click on a link if it has a picture of a hot babe associated with it…

So, everybody seems to be all a-twitter over this USA Today expose. Have I lost my inner patriot if I don’t care, feel unaffected, don’t mind if the NSA looks at my incoming and outgoing calls, and think this is a ploy by USA Today to get some good p.r.? I mean, granted, by posting this I guess I helped them accomplish that goal. But I feel like this is not as big a deal as they want it to be, nor do I feel like my consitutional rights are being violated, nor do I feel like this is “breaking news.” Yawn. Discuss…

Today’s New York Times Online lead off with a totally fascinating article on an Amazon tribe that, all of a sudden, just decided to join the ranks of modern civlization. Excerpt:

The Nukak have no concept of money, of property, of the role of government, or even of the existence of a country called Colombia. They ask whether the planes that fly overhead are moving on some sort of invisible road.

If I had money, I’d be buying the film rights to that story. However, I have a feeling someone else beat me to that by now anyways.

I had been watching previews for this stunt for weeks. Apparently, this man is not too bright. And he didn’t even set a new record!

California really is falling into the ocean!
