Fix your Facebook feed
If it seems some of your friends recently stopped posting on Facebook, it might be due to a recent Facebook “upgrade.” Here’s the fix: Go to FB Home Page Choose “Live Feed.” Scroll to the bottom & click ” Edit Options.” You will then see your “News Feed Settings.” Change the 250 to 5000, which is Facebook’s friend limit, and your feed will work correctly again.

Rush editing job nearly finished
We took Mr. Max out to a friend’s birthday party at a nearby restaurant/fishing park (we ate but did not fish), but he got weepy so we came back, took showers, and for daddy it’s back to the grind now. /////////////////////// I hate when I accidentally hit the Insert key when editing in Word.

The locations represented, in order, are: Thai Bali Chicago Costa Rica Brazil Spain Tokyo The problem, of course, is that land value skews the representations far too much. For instance, if you paid half a mil for the Thai house in anywhere but a few select locations, you paid 3 or 4 times more than you should have. Also, Brazil and Indonesia sure have similar architecture and beaches… Still, it’s a pretty…

Serving 100,000,000,000 videos a year – for free!?!
Over at WIRED: YouTube’s Bandwidth Bill Is Zero. Welcome to the New Net What does this mean? It basically means that YouTube as we know and love it wouldn’t have been a sustainable business for anybody except Google. Cool.

Surveying Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
Last week, while tripping balls on cold medicine and mourning the loss of our pink chicken, I mentioned going on a scouting trip for our upcoming International Camp. Here are some photos which are neither international nor even educational, but I like them anyway. If you’re lucky I may even throw in the odd caption. Khao Yai National Park. Entrance fees for Thais: 20 Baht. For foreigners: 200 Baht. Yet somehow, I got in for the Thai rate (because my coworkers told me to shut up so I could pass as Thai. Thanks, girls!) The dormitories we were supposed to stay at, but will no longer be able to because…
