Think you are just another face in the crowd? Think again.. this photo proves otherwise.. As the website explains: The image comes from the Vancouver Canucks Fan Zone along Georgia St. for Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final was captured at 5:46 pm on June 15, 2011. It is made up of 216 photos (12 across by 18 down) stitched together, taken over a 15-minute span, and is not supposed to represent a single moment in time. The final hi-res file is 69,394 X 30,420 pixels or 2,110 megapixels. Special thanks to Bonita Howard and CBC Real Estate. You can zoom in on anyone in the crowd, and virtually see every wrinkle or every nose pick.. Technology is both amazing and frightening. You can’t escape the all seeing eye of the mega pixel world..

Bank of America whistle-blower’s bombshell: “We were told to lie”
Bombshell: Bank of America whistle-blowers detail horrid schemes to fleece borrowers, reward foreclosures (UPDATED)
How many more ‘bombshell’ reports can we get before we just stop being blown away? We are probably filled to the top of our minds with whistle blowers telling us the truth—so much truth that we just resign from reality and delve deep into fiction and fun. It’s summer after all.. so no better time like the present to offer up some disgusting reports of schemes inside the BOA..
Bank of America whistle-blower’s bombshell: “We were told to lie”
Jim Carrey does not like the violence in KICK ASS 2 .. the actor says he cannot support the level of violence because of Sandy Hook.. 'In all good conscience'..
Curious to hear other people’s thoughts on this?
Porn star Sashsa Grey is known for quite a bit.. Add to that political commentary, as she is stars in this humorous fake commercial ..
She takes a page out of headlines by saying you can work for the NSA and hear sexual conversations from around the world.
Even a quick impression of President Obama calling her ont he phone..
Quite fun .. the end has an Edward Snowden look alike that the actor NSA agents ‘take care of’.. Not sure who got Sasha Grey to do this, but it certainly works..
From 1997: Why would you want to work for the NSA (this one is from GOOD WILL HUNTING, it is not featuring Sasha Grey.
The supermoon chase
Under the light of the global supermoon, Edward Snowden has United States officials on the chase.. the hunt.. for the leaker. Or as they term, ‘criminal.’ Dianne Feinstein said the chase is on.. she spoke for the Administration who is angry at Russia for not turning Snowden over to the US, since the US gave Vlad the Impaler the ‘criminals’ he wanted. But that old Cold War is back, just colder and more lonely..
This chase seems to be quite dire for the United States, which wants to ensure that those four laptops of information don’t leak to the public.. Four laptops? Could the damages be any worse than the entire world knowing that the global technological infrastructure has turned on the citizenry in some creepy 1984 styled-surveillance planet? I suppose it could be worse..
While the United States is busy warning other countries not to let Snowden just travel in peace, he has virtually gone missing from world media after departing Hong Kong..
On Sunday, most reporters were following a plane from Moscow to Cuba. Turns out the former contract employee who knew too much was not on that plane..
Where is he?
Dianne Feinstein sure wants to know..
Until then, we are only left with drama and intrigue .. rumors and airlines..
Some may equate this to a James Bond movie.. debate, however, ensures we don’t know who the villian is quite yet…..

Nik Wallenda just crossed the Grand Canyon without incident..
When it was over I felt like the security guards at the end of the TRUMAN SHOW an quickly switched channels for something else.
Though I took note of the slick placement of a 10:20pm season premiere of NAKED AND AFRAID. Good try, Discovery Channel, good try..
Feinstein warns Snowden: 'The chase is on'
Intentional intrigue developing this weekend..
And to think you thought the highlight was going to be the man crossing the gorge at the Grand Canyon on a wire… Try flying all over the world evading the intelligence agencies of the United States government …

Edward Snowden left Hong Kong, in a plane bound for somewhere.. Cuba? Venezuela? He’s on the move..
It’s certainly not the first time someone ran with the shadows of the night. Pat Benatar becomes his soundtrack, from about 30 years in the past..
The best I could come up with: Running with the Shadows of the Flight

The Snowden saga
He may go to Venezuela.. Cuba… He has tickets to ride but the United States government wants him..
The NY TIMES has the full dish on why Hong Kong didn’t help the USA, and how Wikileaks and a man named ‘Harrison’ is currently with Edward Snowden on his voyage somewhere..
Big developing story..

Science fiction.. predicting the future?
How about … the present has become science fiction.

Tats and gas masks.. Audrey Hepburn never looked better
A friend of mine just told me that she just got a new tattoo of Audrey Hepburn wearing a gas mask. And she told me because she said I was one of the few people who would appreciate it. I am so happy and glad to know that I am one of those few people!
And it is an amazing tattoo..

Twitter and Facebook is alive and and well tonight with images of the ‘supermoon’ .. the night when our lunar neighbor is closer to the earth than usual and the fact it’s a full moon only adds to the glory of how big it looks in the sky above us..
It looks super.
And immense..
Amazing images are showing up in Twitter feeds and Facebook friends’ images from around the United States..
You need a good camera. And maybe a tripod And slow, slow exposure.. and a brief moment in time with the moon above..
Oddly enough, above my head tonight, the supermoon not only looks larger than normal in the East sky by it also appeared to be slightly blood red due to atmospheric conditions. But now, at 10:40 when this post is being written, the moon is brighter and more beautiful than normal..
I picture lovers’ kisses and childrens’ wishes..
And when the 2am crowd leaves the bar tonight, bright lights in the sky will light their drunken way home..
May you all be safe and sound under that supermoon.
Sleep well tonight ..

U.S. engineers inspect possible leak at Hanford nuclear site
This seems to be a must read for all of Washington, America, and the world..
U.S. engineers inspect possible leak at Hanford nuclear site
Wow…
Amazing video: This boy, age 3, has heard his father’s voice for the first time ever. And the video of it is amazing and heartwarming.. This is the good side of trans-humanism.. the kind of robotic and scientific work that will add years to our lives and give us health and amazing advances.. The bad side? There are lots of examples of the bad side. But for the sake of Grayson Clamp, we will only say watch for this video for a bit of hope in our world.. we need it.
And if you don’t tear up watching this, you’re not a human, let alone a transhuman.
Field of screams: Some believe that a ghostly presence made itself known on Tuesday at the College World Series.. according to reports — and video evidence— University of North Carolina players were in the outfield attempting to catch a ball when suddenly two appeared to trip over nothing..Media sources are having fun laughing about the trip up, but if you watch the video, it seems somewhat unexplainable. Science and reason should prevail. But I for one have no reason to understand why these two players flopped the way they did. What I noticed is that we may have funny little headlines about ghosts, but no one seems to have tried to get the players statements on what exactly happened at the College World Series..
Another reason that it’s a good time to reexamine our drug policy in this nation.. Ray Martin McFeters is 73 years old, and he faces prison time for pot possession..
HERE GOES THE GUARDIAN: Revealed: the top secret rules that allow NSA to use US data without a warrant
Fisa court submissions show broad scope of procedures governing NSA’s surveillance of Americans’ communication
Normally government dumps info on a Friday. In this case, the government is probably dreading Friday GUARDIAN runs. Each time the information being revealed about the United States spy program becomes more and more interesting..
