BBC NEWS | Americas | ‘Pre-Inca’ temple found in Peru
Archaeologists in Peru have discovered ancient temple ruins that could predate the Inca empire.
The video shows quite a bit but has no commentary so it’s rather hard to tell what you are looking at. Would like to see the area in person.

The Secret Museum of Mankind

Probably not safe for work as “here there be tits”, but please note that we are talking “National Geographic” type tits, and not “girl’s gone wild” tits, so whatever/whichever you have been warned.

Weird stuff. Lots of pics that I have never seen before, and some that I didn’t want to see at all 😯 but overall an interesting site from a historical (hysterical???) prospective.

Shedworking

Don’t know how I have missed this site this long, but now it’s on the feedreader so nevermore will I miss a post on sheds, and working in and on sheds. Got a lot of old posts to read through and they are some mighty fine posts too, I must say. Good stuff, I can see time problems till I get them all read… 😉

Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village

Shades of Stephen King! That was one wicked hard impact. Wonder if it was something from the meteorite or something boiling out of the hot ground that caused the problems?

blog gnist org – Synergy – two screens, two OSes

Have read about (and may have even posted about) synergy before but never tried it. Tis a good read and he does several things to ensure that no one snoops. Good pointers and code to go with them. When I get another monitor (ain’t giving my flat screen/iBook dual screen setup up) for the linux box and get it back up and running I’d like to try to set it up like this dude has done. Nice!

Hexayurt Project – How To Live Wiki

Steve pointed out that I hadn’t posted about this yet so here it is. One of the links that I lost in the iBook freezing up and firefox not reloading all the many windows and tabs that I had open.

Lotta potential in this design. I am thinking about using a framing system of some kind (2×2 or 2×4 with some trimming done or maybe bamboo or saplings) and an alternative fabric and/or plastic roofing/siding. I realize this defeats the purpose behind this design but for the buildings I need I think it will work out cheaper though not necessarily cooler/warmer.
