Is Laura OK?
George W and Laura Bush with Nolan Ryan, president and CEO of the Texas Rangers at Game Three of the 2011 World Series
As I watched game 3 of the 2011 World Series, I observed something interesting.
It started whenever the camera flashed on a Texas Ranger warming up in the on-deck circle. Over his right shoulder, slightly obscured by fencing, I’d spot a catatonically still Laura Bush with a twitching and animated George next to her. Once after some nifty Ranger play the camera caught Bush smirkily high-fiving Ranger owner, Nolan Ryan. But Laura just sat there like a Stepford Wife, with a sweet(?) smile pasted on her face.
W and Nolan were enjoying the game immensely, but I think poor Laura was there out of some sense of duty… the dutiful Southern wife.
I really wondered if she is OK.
This would be a fun photo to caption… Hmmmm!

Real-Life Angry Birds
Artist Mohamed Raoof has a passion for the very popular game Angry Birds. So much so that he took the time to do a little touch-up on photos of real birds, making them appear as real-life Angry Birds!
How cool is that?

Steve Ballmer… Microsoft’s wacky CEO
Microsoft CEO On Android: “Only A Computer Scientist Could Figure Out How To Use It”
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took his appearance at the Web 2.0 Summit as an opportunity to publicly press the dislike button on Android, Google apps, and the iPhone.
Microsoft is planning to release new Nokia phones powered by its Windows Phone operating system at Nokia World on October 26 and Ballmer told Web 2.0 interviewer John Batelle that he thought iPhone was the main competition. Though Google’s Android software has gobbled up market share to become the most popular smartphone operating system in the United States, Ballmer was dismissive of the competitor.
