"Brian Fling has a book out!Mobile Design and Development: Practical concepts and techniques for creating mobile sites and web apps
This guy sure knows his beans when it comes to mobility, I’ve been following him on Twitter for a couple of days now and was excited to hear he’s got a book on the way.

- NASA – Sarychev Volcano
"Sarychev VolcanoA fortuitous orbit of the International Space Station allowed the astronauts this striking view of Sarychev volcano (Russia’s Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain and is located on the northwestern end of Matua Island.
Prior to June 12, the last explosive eruption had occurred in 1989 with eruptions in 1986, 1976, 1954 and 1946 also producing lava flows. Commercial airline flights were diverted from the region to minimize the danger of engine failures from ash intake. This detailed photograph is exciting to volcanologists because it captures several phenomena that occur during the earliest stages of an explosive volcanic eruption.

- Carpe Pugam – Faith and religion doesn’t make a country better
Interesting. But why did they put just some western(ized) countries on that list? Isn't this a little bit too easy?
