“Fun and useful things you can do in OS X Lion

80 cool OS X Lion features

Almost four months ago, OS X Lion escaped from the Mac App Store and took up residence in Macs around the globe. And for the most part users are quite happy with their new house guest. Yet part of the fun with any new operating system release is uncovering all the new features – and make no mistake, this big cat has plenty of them.”

A journey through the ritual year

Opens 27 April
Costumed processions, symbolic dramatisations, traditional dances and fire ceremonies mark the changing seasons and celebrate nature’s bounty. Many of these customs claim ancient origin. This exhibition brings together 50 photographs of regional rituals performed throughout the year in England and is supported by objects from the Museum’s collection.

Since March 15th ;( 22K Seriously – WTF?

 

Sorry for the lack of posts. I got a bit disturbed by the thousands of spam comments that I’ve been hit with. There is no way in this lifetime I can work my way through them manually ;(
Made me not want to hang out here anymore. Most of the decent spam plugins are pay only and I can’t justify / spare the money for the foreseeable future and don’t have the energy to fight them.

Was really odd watch young new [...]
