Battle at Kruger Park
@ Kruger National Park, South Africa
This is the most incredible amateur wildlife footage I’ve ever seen! A battle between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and 2 crocodiles at a watering hole. It just gets crazier the further you watch.
Instant gratification
I’m so stoked! I just discovered a little “watch now” tab in my Netflix account which lets me watch full-length movies in my browser, and it’s all included in my normal membership. No extra fees! Right now I’m installing the Netflix Movie Viewer (in Internet Explorer) so I can give it a test drive…
Weeeeeeeeeee!

UPDATE:
WOW this is SUPERB!!!!! The full-screen mode is true edge-to-edge (a slick IE feature I’d forgotten all about), with controls a whole lot sleeker than my DVD player. The quality of the video is outstanding. I’m blown away. All I need now is to get that cable to hook my laptop up to the widescreen TV, and figure out a way to get my wiimote to point and click at the controls from the couch.
An Inconvenient Truth
Eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore’s personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. The film is not a story of despair – it’s a rallying cry.

Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
