Presidential Candidates on Flickr

I was on Flickr today, looking at the map of photos around my home town, and discovered that Mitt Romney and Barack Obama both visited recently. They both have regularly updated Flickr accounts and geotagged their photos from their recent visits.

This lead me to searching around for other candidates with Flickr accounts, such as Ron Paul and Sam Brownback.

I discovered some interesting stuff, which I’ve summarized into this table. (It won’t fit in this blog’s template, so I’ve given it its own page).

Let me know what you think!

Creepiest Thing I’ve Seen All Day

CARNIVOROUS BEES, originally uploaded by J. D. Harper.

I always thought that bees flew around, pollinating flowers and making honey. Sure, they might sting the occasional foolish school child, but bees were generally friendly bugs, if you left them alone.

But apparently, this one likes the taste of raw hamburger. And how long will it be until it tries man-flesh?

Perhaps bees will eventually figure out how to tell which people are allergic to them, and they’ll send in single assassin bees to kill them. Then the hive will dine on the flesh of their gigantic prey.

If Steven King writes this into a novel, I’m suing him for plagiarism.

Weight Loss Update

I mentioned previously that I’m trying to lose some weight using the Couch-to-5K program. I want to point out that this program is really working well for me. I’ve been gradually increasing my endurance, losing weight, and generally feeling pretty good about myself. This morning I went just under two miles in about a half hour, which is the best I’ve done in a long time.
