Sierra Bravo F1 Overnight Website Challenge This weekend was the second annual Sierra Bravo F1 Overnight Website Challenge where approximately 130 web developers and designers donated 24 hours of their time to create free websites for 13 deserving non-profits.  

Our own BlogCadre pal, Jason Striegel, and his team of 8 other talented web pros, team Praxis, pulled off the win and developed a kick-butt website for their non-profit, District 202.

After 24 hours of hard work, no sleep and too much caffeine, the 2009 Website Challenge teams and non-profits can now sleep soundly.

horny manateeOn Late Night with Conan O'Brien last night, Conan had made up the URL 'HornyManatee.com' and, for one reason or another, NBC had to buy the domain.

I don't know the whole story so if anybody has more info let us know in the comments.

Update:
Here's the scoop:  Conan adlibbed the site www.hornymanatee.com on his Dec. 4 show.  At the time, the site had not existed and in order to avoid a viewer purchasing the domain and posting inappropriate content that may look like NBC was promoting, NBC purchased the domain in order to control the content.  Here is the full New York Times article.

Look at Me

look at me picI stumbled upon a very cool website today. 

Look at Me is a collection of found photos.

These photos were either lost, forgotten, or thrown away. The images now are nameless, without connection to the people they show, or the photographer who took them. Maybe someone died and a relative threw away their photographs; maybe someone thought they were trash.

Some of the photos were found on the street. Some were stacked in a box, bought cheap at a flea market. Showing off or embarrassed, smug, sometimes happy, the people in these photos are strangers to us. They can't help but be interesting, as stories with only an introduction.

The LOOK AT ME project started with a few photos found by Frederic Bonn and Zoe Deleu in a Paris street in 1998.
It's a wonderful collection of old photographs.  You may also submit your own found photos.

We haven't even launched yet, and already BlogCadre is proving to be a huge hit with readers and posters alike.

Content. Content. Content!
I've been so impressed with the quality of user contributed material so far. It's almost like we don't even need a moderation system. Everything has been going straight to the front page.

Anyone can write an article here. I think it's a great concept. Help make it work. Sign up and write something that you think is interesting. Here are some things other BlogCadre users have been writing about:

Robogeek has posted a couple of really cool hacks for Nokia cell phones. If you want to be able charge your phone and use GPS while connected to your laptop, he's your man. We owe a hackaday feature article to him.

Jessi made us fall out of our chairs when she introduced us to the the Gem Sweater Girl.

Matt Schultz showed us how to make montages using flickr, and followed that up with a video that every LEGO geek will drool over (myself included). Matt is launching a new site, modcast.org, very soon. Keep an eye on him. I expect he's going to be posting some more fantastic articles.

Stella has been posting like mad on all sorts of topics such as humor, autism, and, my favorite topic, wtf. Check her blog out - 21 posts so far! I think her fingers are probably smoking.

Ryan Larson shows us some identity theft irony and the downsides of letting your autopilot do all the hard work.

Justin reintroduced us to an updated version of the Pepsi challenge. There are more colas than you can shake a stick at these days.

Jon Granada has been going to town exploring the unknown and inaccessable areas of the video game World of Warcraft. We owe 2 hackadays and a slashdotting to Jon.

Mike T shocked us with a fantastic spoof involving Midgets and Lions, oh my! Then, Mel decided to let us know how little people wipe their bottoms. I didn't want to know.

Heck, even my mom and sister have been posting. Kelly asked us to think for a moment about the business behind earwax flavored jelly beans. Colleen, from the American Refugee Committee, uploaded this incredible photo.

You should have your name on this list! Remember, any topic is fair game. So go write something that you want people to read!
