Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

3 Amazing Videos of Katrina Damage
Check out the WLBT the NBC affiliate in Gulfport, LA. There are 3 astounding videos (all WMAv9) of the devastation as recorded by their helicopter - nearly unedited footage. The first covers Long Beach, Biloxi, and Gulfport. At about 3 mins in you see casinos (which were barges) that were lifted up and dropped almost whole inland. At 8 mins in you see the Presidents Casino which was dumped on top of a Holiday Inn. at 12 min the Biloxi Hard Rock casino was utterly shredded. At 20 mins in you see a huge bridge of Interstate 90 that was destroyed. The second is of Pascagoula, Gautier, Ocean Springs, Biloxi, and Gulfport and repeats some of the footage of the first. The third a 2 min video from some idiots who rode out the storm in a hotel on the beach, you see the water stream into the hotel.
