Whole Lot Of Bacon

In this hog, 1100 pounds, that’s one big animal. From FoxNews is the story,

A wild hog weighing eleven-hundred pounds, bigger than the near-mythical “Hogzilla” caught in rural south Georgia a few years ago, has been been shot and killed in a suburban neighborhood.

William Coursey, an avid hunter who shot the hog in a neighbor’s yard in Fayette County in the suburbs south of Atlanta, had it hanging from a tree in his front yard.

How can you hang an 1100 pound hog from a tree? Without getting a hernia? Maybe he used a tow truck.

Blog Stuff

With the addition of Izzy’s blog, we (Izzy and I) are using three versions of WordPress now. 1.5, 2.0.5, 2.1beta1. Izzy is running the beta, lucky cat. He is the adventurous one. The test blog is using 2.0.5 although I understand 2.0.6 is out. As I have yet to upgrade the main blog and am hesitant to do so cause of the image uploading differences, I haven’t played much with the other versions.

And until I figure out the image problem, all Izzy’s images are from flickr. Yes, that means I have to keep that updated.

Meanwhile, I’m helping Izzy with adding links to his blogroll.

Tummy Tuesday #25

I caught some Bazel tummy.

So did Izzy.

All the credit goes to Lisa Violet for creating yet another reason to post a cat.

The iPhone

It’s a reality and after reading about it, all I can say is it’s awesome. Too many features to blog about but check Apple’s site for all the details. A few quotes starting with it runs OSX :

OS X — is now available on a small, handheld device that gives you access to true desktop-class applications and software, including rich HTML email, full-featured web browsing, and applications such as widgets, Safari, calendar, text messaging, Notes, and Address Book.

And it looks beautiful, the phone, the web browsing, Google maps both map and satellite versions. It’s like having a tiny handheld computer. And the technical specs:
