It Foreshadows what to come. The White No longer has a Race barrier, so we will see alot of different race/ethnicities of presidents in the near future.

@njch412: Black enough to seriously piss off half the rednecks on this website. And that’s black enough for me

I always love watching lightning. I hang out on the porch during those huge summer thunderstorms. Growing up, my brothers found a couch (someone had put to the curb), put it on our porch and we’d hang out on it during the storm. It’s great when you’re nice and safe w/ the storm raging around you.

Puulaahi — November 5, 2008 @ 12:12 am

I love standing in the rain and the sound as it hits the house. I love watching thunder and lightning storms too. Only seen a real one in Arizona though.

outofocus — November 5, 2008 @ 2:40 am

Heat lighting storms are seriously cool to see. I spent a summer in Kentucky and Missouri.

I learned recently that there are tools photographers use to get these photos. They don’t actually rely on timing. I think that’s depressing (even if the pictures are sweet).

SumoSnipe — November 5, 2008 @ 9:51 pm

You guys should come down to watch the storms at NM tech in Soccoro. They have a lightning lab built on a mountain they claim is the most struck spot in the US. Or just come to the Rio Grande valley in august, 5pm the thunderheads roll down from the north and west.

nyokki — November 4, 2008 @ 11:12 pm

Stunning.

dieAntagonista — November 4, 2008 @ 11:44 pm

Sweet, I have never even heard of this before.

outofocus — November 4, 2008 @ 11:52 pm

@dieAntagonista: Me either… well, until right before I posted this.

Colors look so unnatural and wierd

SumoSnipe — November 4, 2008 @ 3:29 am

you would need a bigger back yard than the one nyokki has….

outofocus — November 4, 2008 @ 4:13 am

@SumoSnipe: Oh, I know. I wrote a lot of reports on the cheetah when I was in school. But I can dream…

DaCheetah — November 4, 2008 @ 4:32 am

*sigh*
One day I’ll have the space for one…

dub_1211 — November 4, 2008 @ 5:15 am

you just need a backyard that’s like 10 feet wide by 1000 feet long. just enough room to turn around and rip the other way.

SumoSnipe — November 4, 2008 @ 9:41 am

Don’t stop dreaming….

MegaloX — November 4, 2008 @ 1:52 pm

Too bad that’s a snow leopard.

Phyreblade — November 4, 2008 @ 5:48 pm

@MegaloX: That’s not a snow leopard… Look at it’s face… Snow leopards don’t have black stains running down their faces.

Those black stains are from the tears that stream from their eyes because of the high pressure shockwave that hit’s their faces when they are running at full speed…

Cheetahs… the most Xtreme!!

outofocus — November 4, 2008 @ 6:37 pm

@MegaloX: Too bad you have no idea what you’re talking about.

nyokki — November 4, 2008 @ 12:38 am

I love the 1st pic. What kind of turtles are they?

dieAntagonista — November 4, 2008 @ 12:46 am

I like the dark ones better. Didn’t know they come in that colour also. I wanna know too, what kind are they

outofocus — November 4, 2008 @ 4:18 am

@nyokki: Green Sea Turtles

I like turtles. (totally said with the famous kid voice) These guys are beautiful.

I took way too many crappy pictures of turtles when I was in Singapore. The turtle museum was totally worth the 5 sing to get in.

24601 — November 4, 2008 @ 6:31 am

@turtle2: Standby. Turtle 2, you are cleared for liftoff.

nyokki — November 4, 2008 @ 1:12 pm

@outofocus: Do Want the turtle gargoyles.

Phyreblade — November 4, 2008 @ 5:40 pm

@outofocus: The turtle dragons are indeed cool. Never really considered turtles “cool” until I saw Gamera… And Blastoise. I probably met Bowser first, but he was a baddie, so he was lame. ROFL…

Then I understood why the world rests on the back of a giant turtle…

outofocus — November 4, 2008 @ 6:39 pm

@Phyreblade: I have *no idea* what you’re talking about. Gamera sounds familiar but … not.

Bowser is a TOTAL loser! heh

Phyreblade — November 4, 2008 @ 7:35 pm

@outofocus:
LOL… My bad. was referring to all the popular turtles i could think of at the time. I should have stuck to TMNTs instead… LOL

Gamera:
Godzilla sized biojet powered flying turtle and defender of the earth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamera

Blastoise:
A water Pokemon, at max evolution, equipped with a ridiculously powerful set of twin, high pressure water cannons.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Blastoise_(Pok%C3%A9mon)

The giant turtle is a prominent fixture of good will and wisdom in some native American and Asian belief systems, and is often credited with either creating the world, or carrying it on it’s back.

Hope that explains my cryptic, in retrospect, attempt at humor…

And please, no comments on why I should know this much about any pokemon…

outofocus — November 5, 2008 @ 2:49 am

@Phyreblade: I should have known. My son is a Pokemon freak… big time.

I saw a bunch of turtle things when I was in SE Asia.

I’ve always liked turtles. The one from Never Ending Story was especially kewl.

tiki god — October 31, 2008 @ 11:19 pm

holy crap this man is hot. I saw him on bones, then I saw him in some stupid car commercial and I had to uh…

holy crap this man is hot. I would buy him a beer.

outofocus — November 3, 2008 @ 1:03 am

@tiki god: I would buy him a beer, talk to him at length and take his pants off.

Nom nom nom

phat_stack — November 3, 2008 @ 1:15 am

Yeah, he’s hot! He should take off his coat. It’s got to be like 90 degrees out there and he looks way out of breath.

Oh, and he’s ugly as hell.

dieAntagonista — November 3, 2008 @ 1:16 am

Hehe. “He has realistic physical attributes” yeah that’s true. And he is good looking, but really not that exciting. I don’t know but for some reason pictures of women are more interesting. Or it could be that I’m brainwashed by the comments on this site.

njch412 — November 3, 2008 @ 1:26 am

Why is he wincing his eyes shut? Closing your eyes a little does not create sexiness.

Hazard — November 3, 2008 @ 2:14 am

He’s not even near the top of my hotness meter. He’s not bad, but meh.

If you’re going to post hot guys for the love of god at least let them be shirtless. Mmmm, abs.

nyokki — November 3, 2008 @ 2:27 am

@outofocus: Never mind them, I’m w/ you. When you watch him on Bones, he is definitely sexy. Angela (a very sexy woman), seems to like him.

outofocus — November 3, 2008 @ 4:10 am

@nyokki: Exactly.

vutterfly — November 3, 2008 @ 5:30 am

@dieAntagonista: I agree.

vutterfly — November 3, 2008 @ 5:31 am

@dieAntagonista: oh, that’s how you do the linky thing =P

dieAntagonista — November 3, 2008 @ 5:56 am

@vutterfly: Haha, seriously? Awesome. I thought maybe something is wrong with me.

imandynan0 — November 3, 2008 @ 1:00 pm

I vote him for sexiest man in the universe.

Woah, there are lots of girls here!

@joodles: There are no girls on the internet.

joodles — November 4, 2008 @ 3:44 pm

@nyokki: But I’m a girl. There should be a special theme day for girls, where we can post reposts of cute cats and pink things and stuff.

nyokki — November 4, 2008 @ 7:55 pm

@joodles: So am I, but it doesn’t matter. There are no girls on the internet.

RSIxidor — November 2, 2008 @ 1:18 pm

Looks more blue and white to me.

outofocus — November 2, 2008 @ 4:22 pm

@RSIxidor: So Fah-nee

dieAntagonista — November 2, 2008 @ 4:37 pm

Wow it looks beautiful. Me like.

AustinDav — November 2, 2008 @ 5:45 pm

How can they call this green? It’s located in the middle of nowhere, and is therefore only accessible by car. The crappy suburban location negates your so-called “greenness.”

If you can tell me that this is actually a small block in the middle of a dense, highly-walkable, mixed-use neighborhood with transit access, then I will retract that statement.

Not too likely, from the look of it.

outofocus — November 2, 2008 @ 6:13 pm

@AustinDav: Did you read the article?

It will be built in a central area of Silicon Valley. Google provides insanely convenient shuttle services for employees.

As it is, most areas of California require driving… period. San Francisco is the only city in California that residents can *easily* survive without a car and even then the shared car business is very popular. That google provides convenient mass transit for employees is pretty awesome.

outofocus — November 2, 2008 @ 6:16 pm

@dieAntagonista: I think it’s very interesting. I look forward to seeing it in person (it will be 10-15 minutes drive from my house (without traffic)).

Google has had a positive impact on the area. They feed their employees and they buy the food from local farmers. Their buildings already use solar technology to lower the amount of electricity they’re using. This building, if it happens, seems like the logical next step for a company like Google.

AustinDav — November 2, 2008 @ 6:30 pm

hmmm, just read the article. We’ll have to see the quality of the mixed-use design around it….

AustinDav — November 2, 2008 @ 6:33 pm

I’ve seen many mixed-use developments that don’t do much for real-life walkability, but I think if google is involved with the development of the entire area, and green is their goal, there’s hope.

AustinDav — November 2, 2008 @ 7:16 pm

Sorry outofocus, I didn’t see your link there. It was just my gut reaction to the siteplan, with a single building in a park-like setting, which stems from a suburban, modernist ideal of man-in-nature. Its a nice Utopian idea in theory, but in practice it normally translates into car-destroys-nature.

I still don’t like the siteplan much for this reason. Sure it looks nice, but a greenfield campus doesn’t often mesh well with a lively urban environment, so the rest of their development needs to be built extremely well to compensate.

But again, I haven’t seen the rest of their plans, so we’ll see.

dieAntagonista — November 2, 2008 @ 9:14 am

Haha, niice.

Flickerdart — November 2, 2008 @ 10:49 am

That’s quite a friend you have. I wonder what else he has on his shelf.

The-Penetrator — November 2, 2008 @ 11:26 am

How old is your “friend” 16 ?

outofocus — November 2, 2008 @ 4:26 pm

@The-Penetrator: Well, Mr. McCain, my “friend” is of an age where such things can be amusing rather than inspiring.

@Flickerdart: SHE has some other rather amusing things on her shelf.

dieAntagonista — November 1, 2008 @ 6:44 am

/freakout

Most beautiful.

nyokki — November 1, 2008 @ 7:02 am

We had a cat when I was little that had one green eye and one blue eye. I’ve also had a couple w/ extra toes. Cats’ genes do some crazy stuff.

outofocus — November 1, 2008 @ 4:25 pm

Yeah, it seems white cats with yellow/blue eyes are better off than cats with two blue eyes. The yellow eye is the reason he’s not deaf.

I actually like dark cats or the black/white mix but Oski was so different than the other cats that I had to bring him home.

outofocus — November 1, 2008 @ 4:26 pm

Different… personality wise.

outofocus — November 1, 2008 @ 4:30 pm

Oh oh… and Oski… he hugs… It’s the kewlest freakin’ thing ever.

dieAntagonista — November 1, 2008 @ 6:26 am

Epic cat is epic. I don’t know if it’s because of the high quality of the pictures, but your cat looks super fluffy. Seriously, could be from a commercial.

Brevity Truta — November 1, 2008 @ 7:30 am

He’s clearly the master of his domain, outofocus, and it must be nice for you to have a constant source of fuzziness in the world =)

Theo11 — November 1, 2008 @ 10:46 am

That bottom picture is really good.

Sarcastastic — November 1, 2008 @ 11:33 am

Groovy.

hvymetal86 — November 1, 2008 @ 1:22 pm

Kinda reminds me of “I can has Cheezeburger” cat, aka, I agree with the epicness.

SonicX — November 1, 2008 @ 3:53 pm

i have a cat who Looks exactLy Like that…
Except Longer and fatter

outofocus — November 1, 2008 @ 4:29 pm

He is longer now. He just turned a year old mid-October. He is built thick though. He is shorter in length than Oski but weighs a few more pounds.

He actually isn’t nearly as fuzzy as Oski. The house is Oski’s domain. The couch is Ash’s. I got Ash when he was 5 months old because Oski needs another living being around. He’d get sick if I was gone over night.

I’m pretty proud of both of my cats though. They’re well behaved (they still break stuff when doing crazy ninja moves but that can’t be helped), respond to verbal cues (their names, “no”, etc) and are very friendly. They run to the door to greet strangers and whatnot.
