Jerash on Flickr
User Gauis Caecilius is posting pics of Jerash (Gerash) in Syria on his Flickr page. Beautiful stuff if you’re interested in the Roman Empire and it’s reach into Palestine and Syria.
Having a Daughter is Tough These Days
My pal Jim Kukral made this vid about a Bratz doll that his daughter received for Christmas. I just hope Mary Hudson is able to make it through the marketing messages and find her own inner beauty when she gets of “doll age.”
If you are a Digg user, please give Jim a digg here.

Cloverfield is a Rejection of “Social Media”
Amen…
“Most of all this is a movie about how the young’uns have no tools for moral discourse and that all they can do is utter banalities and take endless pictures of each other and record their lives for no apparent purpose.”
Cloverfield is a fantastic movie for all the wrong reasons and makes you scratch your eyeballs/head/logic and reconsider who you’d go back for. Go see it for your own benefit and realize what Abrams, etc are trying to express.

It ended shortly thereafter, when Thompson called his editor screaming in frustration, grabbed his shotgun, and blasted the youthful Steve Jobs’s creation to smithereens. Then he sent back the pieces.
