about.me just got some funding, and already has several hundred thousand users. The idea is just to be a place for short personal biographies and links to all your other sites / facebook / twitter / etc... Sort of a business card for the web. Super simple idea, but I think they are doing it right and might succeed. So I'm mentioning it because it's free to sign up and you can probably still get your own name at this point (like http://about.me/yourname). If it turns out to be a bust you won't have lost anything. (I was always mad I was too late to get jimbassett@gmail.com)

The huge flight of 407 eagles smashed the old record of 245 set two years ago at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, which has kept an annual tally of migrating hawks, eagles and falcons since its founding 76 years ago as the world's first refuge for birds of prey.

Complete map of optimal tic- tac-toe moves. (Click on the map for full size version.) Felix Salmon calls it "a funny, perfect, free, nerdy, gorgeous Sol Lewitt".

One more reason not to move to Portland
After two trips to Oregon failed to turn up the supposedly "locally common" bird, I finally saw my first Varied Thrush.
On my lunch hour.
In Manhattan.
