Contrary to popular belief, Australians don’t really like Foster’s Lager. In fact, many are quite embarassed by it, really. Instead, they claim Victoria Bitter as the official suds of the Land Down Under. (side note: VB as it is known, is brewed by the Foster’s Group)

One thing they all seem to agree on too, is that they love Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He died suddenly while shooting a segment for his daughter’s show, of all things, and now Australia mourns one of its biggest iconic heroes.

I point you to the blogs of Rob and Megan, two Australian friends who both pay tribute to the already legendary Irwin. His legacy will no doubt be continued in the form of his incredible catalogue of footage with some of the world’s deadliest creatures, in his beloved Australia Zoo, and by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi and his son Bob.

Update: News.com.au has a video and photo tribute to Irwin’s career.

Tomorrow is my best man’s birthday. And since he’s on EST in Princeton doing his phD, he probably won’t see this until tomorrow anyway, so it works out perfect.

Happy birthday, Linds. We miss you.

Okay, so I admit, this is borderline narcissistic, but when I saw Kris’, I couldn’t resist.

Here’s what you do: go to www.myheritage.com and try out their nifty face recognition tool, and build your self a collage (the site is remarkably easy to use, if you want to have some fun with this).

Anyway, here’s who I apparently look like:

So who do I look more like, people? Dirk, the mighty German or Alicia Silverstone?
