I can't believe this...Noah's flood created the grand canyon

Just saw this post on Digg...it is incredibly unbelievable

Grand Canyon Created by Noah's Flood

Grand Canyon Skywalk Nearing Completion



Imagine stacking the Taipei 101 building (current tallest building in the world) on top of the Sears Tower, going to the top and looking straight down.... Amazingly, the Grand Canyon is 4000 feet deep at parts and they are currently constructing a glass walkway that cantilevers out over the cliff. Since it is made of glass, visitors will have to wear protective booties when walking on it as to not scratch the surface. While neat, this exemplifies the difference between America's overprotective, insurance fearing society and our friends down under. If this thing was in New Zealand, they would be bungee jumping off the sucker.

And it won't fall down anytime soon

Venture Capital Discussion/Interviews on Web 2.0

To Bubble or not to Bubble? That is the question that many journalists are yapping about lately. I am on the side that yes we have been in a good place as far as web startups are concerned, with great innovations happening at a rapid pace, the rise of social networking sites, etc. There will inevitably be a slowing down of new businesses as the market matures. Here are a couple of articles that I have found as of late that provide some good commentary:

Is 'Web 2.0' Another Bubble?

8 Things Women Suck at in Bed

yes, finally someone has attempted to put the ball(no pun intended) in the women's court by saying what they can do to improve.

8 Things Women Suck at In Bed

AllofMP3: We're not going anywhere - Awesome!



A recent article from the good ol' folks at ArsTechnica talks about the recent trade agreements between the US and Russia, specifically indicating that Allofmp3 is an illegal site and that all sites considered illegal will be shut down. From the article:

"Legality is not decided by a legislative branch or an executive branch. It's decided by a court,"

I hope this site stays around personally. Don't get me wrong, itunes is great and all, but there is no way it should cost that much for each song.
