Here are some examples of vehicle cemeteries around the world, areas on earth that have unwittingly become the home to rusting, unused machines – remember, this is just a selection of the many boneyards on earth and while they often look stunning and make for a great photo, the environmental costs far outweigh the view.

6-Minute Video Preview of Four Months Later
Reader Freak T posted this link to a YouTube video that features a 6-minute video clip of multiple scenes from the Season 2 premiere, “Four Months Later”. There are snippets from four scenes: Mohinder lecturing about powers, before being offered a job by a shady looking guy; Dania Ramirez’s Maya and her brother running from a border patrol truck; Claire and HRG at her new school; Claire meeting West for the first time; and Hiro in the past, finding out that Kensei (David Anders) is actually a mercenary who fights for money (and fights dirty, too!) and not the heroic figure history says he is.

Adding Smart Sets to Flickr
The Flickr Set Manager will let you automatically create and manage rules-based Flickr photo sets, much like smart playlists in iTunes or smart folders in Outlook. Your smart sets can be determined by tags, recency, interestingness, and random. What makes this interesting is that the photo set can be regenerated everyday. Thus my set of most interesting photos will change as frequently as my photos’ rankings do.
