After much unsuccessful googling I found this free software. It allowed me to overlay a text timestamp and resize a number of photos for a flickr set documenting my AeroGarden. The set can be seen here.

It contains 75 years of history (1896 - 1970) in the form of 35,000 hours of video, 90,000 web pages and 12 million still images. Quite impressive.
In the top twenty section, you can see original media ranging from the d-day invasion to the titanic disaster to grandma's corsets to The Beatles.

I'm a big fan, and daily user of google.com. The google toolbar is one of the most useful applications I've seen on the net; it makes my job much easier. Today I was on google translating some Portuguese to English, and I found another new google tool, Google News Alerts, check it out. Finally, have you ever wondered what other people search for?

There seems to be a new trend in large cities of masses of people meeting up at a location, causing a mild ruckus, then quickly leaving.
First I read the story on Slashdot : Flash Mobs: Peaceable Assembly for Spontaneous Fun.
Then I read the story on Yahoo! : It's not your party, but we'll come if we want to.
CheeseBikini seems to be the site that best documents these mobs.
