9. Flickr Friends (formerly Flickr Stalkr). Flickr Friends got off to a rough start originally at Flickr. Developed by James Newbery it was initially named Flickr Stalkr and well, that just didn't sound right and so they saw themselves get nipped in the bud early on. Subsequently though the site relaunched as Flickr Friend Finder and is a way for you to find all of your friends (or ex-girlfriends, opps, did I just say that too?) on Flickr. With Flickr Friend Finder you simply enter in a string of email addresess (or upload your address book to them) and they will return back to you everyone who is on Flickr. You can then add them as friends to make sure to keep tabs on what they are up to photographically speaking. James has the following privacy statement up on his site:
"Your addresses will not be stored anywhere, read by anyone, or made accessible to anyone. Any file you upload will be deleted from the server immediately."
...of course it's up to you whether or not you think it's a good idea or right to use your friend's email addresses this way.

Made by Christian Hacker of Nuremberg. A very similar stable appears in a Hacker catalogue from ca. 1900. This has been over-painted, but it was done extremely well and a very long time ago. A child wrote the names of its horses over the stalls and on the floor in from of them sometime in the 1920s or 1930s: Sepp, Fritz, Franz, Josef and Max. The double doors at the side open into a coach house.
The sailor skittles are also old; Spear & Sons, also of Nuremberg, made very similar sets.

We often let nine months old Lucas play with Alpha Baby - it's fun for him to hear the sounds and see the coloured polygons appear when he presses keys on the keyboard. And with the security built in, his parents can relax about Lucas messing up the computer... Except, in this clip, Lucas manages to exit from Alpha Baby by turning the keyboard around, then activates Front Row, followed by a visit to System Preferences where he accidentally turned on speech for the visually impaired. It took a while to reset the computer so it didn't read web pages out loud.
Time warp to 1995. Head-to-head "Wipeout XL" video games being played on a Playstation, alongside dancers grooving to DJs playing electronic 90's-era tunes.

I though, a German beer will help me through the week.
Oh, well. Tomorrow (Friday) is another day :-)
Nice beer though, I love them swing tops.
Hacker-Festzelt is one of the most popular tents at the Oktoberfest in Munich. Even before it opened, at 10 am, there was a long line of kurt lederhosen clad men - clearly seen in this photo - waiting to get in!
This tent is one of the largest at the festival with seating space for 6,900 guests and as the name implies they're sponsored by and serve beer from the Hacker-Pschorr brewery.
