This morning the waves here were pushing 10'. Nuts. This shot is from this afternoon, when they calmed a bit. Still nuts. One waits for waves and then they are too big. :( bigwave2.jpg (JPEG Image, 1024x683 pixels) |

The National Cryptologic Museum is the National Security Agency’s principal gateway to the public. It shares the Nation’s, as well as NSA’s, cryptologic legacy and place in world history. Located adjacent to NSA Headquarters, Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland, the Museum collection contains thousands of artifacts that collectively serve to sustain the history of the cryptologic profession. Here visitors can catch a glimpse of some of the most dramatic moments in the history of American cryptology: the people who devoted their lives to cryptology and national defense, the machines and devices they developed, the techniques they used, and the places where they worked. For the visitor, some events in American and world history will take on a new meaning. For the cryptologic professional, it is an opportunity to absorb the heritage of the profession.
Oh, the places I'll go... National Cryptologic Museum |

Only about 4% of the world's oceans remain undamaged by human activity, according to the first detailed global map of human impacts on the seas. A study in Science journal says climate change, fishing, pollution and other human factors have exacted a heavy toll on almost half of the marine waters. Only remote icy areas near the poles are relatively pristine, but they face threats as ice sheets melt, it warns. The authors say the data is a "wake-up call" to policymakers.

The HowTo team at Mahalo has been an amazing surprise effort. We didn't plan on making howto articles, but when we built various how to search pages we realized that many howto articles were, well, lacking. So, we started building select ones where we thought we could help. This one on how to save money is very good.
I kinda like some of these. How to save money running a startup (17 really good tips) |

Delta's New 3 Tier + Cash Miles |

Delta also plans to increase the number of "tiers" in its SkyMiles plan this spring. Instead of offering domestic tickets for either 25,000 or 50,000 miles -- with many more tickets available for 50,000 miles -- the airline will offer 50% of its total seat inventory for 40,000 miles, while maintaining the same amount of seats in the 25,000-mile tier. Most remaining seats will fall into the 60,000-mile tier.
This is better than 25/50, but 50 isn't always available. Delta's New 3 Tier + Cash Miles |
