We take for granted the enormous service that stick figures provide to humanity. On a regular basis they put themselves in harm’s way in order to warn others of danger. For that, we should truly be grateful.
Perhaps you were previously unaware of the large contribution of stick figures to public safety. To view their selfless feats of heroism, visit the Flickr pool linked below.

This gripping article recounts the efforts of a highly specialized salvage crew to rescue a capsizing transport vessel. I was so riveted I had to blog it, although technology does play a role in the story.

“Own the Internet” with Agloco December 27, 2006

Agloco is a company that proposes to pay you just for surfing the Internet. Advertisers pay millions to get your attention, right? Agloco says you should be getting a piece of that action. While I don’t understand it well enough to thoroughly explain it, basically the nitty-gritty is that you install a web browser toolbar from Agloco and then you get paid for visiting the Web sites you normally would. Aglogo pays you in the form of shares in the company and/or cash.
Right now, however, Agloco isn’t doing much of anything, as its toolbar software is still in testing. Agloco has opened itself up now for new memberships for the purpose of building the network.
Some have labeled this a pyramid scheme because of the referral structure, but I can’t see how that could apply when the company doesn’t collect (or intend to collect) any money from its members. The personal information collected upon sign-up is minimal, which is reassuring. Agloco is apparently a new form of a previous web venture called AllAdvantage.
<shrugs> Ah, what the heck…
