Google flags entire Web as ‘malware’

Twitter is abuzz with people reporting the massive error (also look for tags #googmayharm or #googmayhem), and it's clear that this is happening around the world. Apparently, it's happening with any browser on any platform too.

Clicking the message takes people to a support page from Google (image below), but this is being bombarded with millions of people right now so it's very slow to respond. I saw the page briefly, and it pointed to StopBadware.org (which is obviously also loading slowly or not at all right now).

It seems to be fine now. Lasted about 15 minutes. You can take a deep breath now and go on with whatever you were doing before .

Bacon Explosion Recipe Goes Viral

There are people who love bacon, and then there are people who really, really love bacon.

A recipe called Bacon Explosion is becoming viral, thanks partly to the New York Times whose story on the recipe currently ranks as the most e-mailed story on their Web site. The recipe has been so wildly popular that it's likely contributed to the downing of the page on BBQAddicts.com on which it's been posted.

What is it? Take two pounds of bacon, weave it around two pounds of sausage and slather it with barbecue sauce. Four pounds of pork heaven (see photos).

The idea of swine-on-swine is not new. In Los Angeles, a popular sight are vendors who push carts offering greasy bacon-wrapped hot dogs topped with grilled onions, bell peppers and more. A group on Flickr proudly displays some of the creations.

What the heck is Anti-Gravity Yoga?

Dubbed anti-gravity yoga by its founder former gymnast Christopher Harrison, it's part acrobatics, body conditioning, Pilates and gymnastics.

“It’s different from any other workout” my wife Gabby says. It seems easy but it's quite strenuous.

You use a fabric that you grab and swing from, and sometimes hang upside down from. It's not for the faint of heart or the easily dizzy.

If the Madhatter ride at Disney gives you fits like it does me, watch out here.

Gabby advises that you let go and trust yourself when you’re hanging and flipping around in mid air and you’ll have a great time. If you want an invigorating workout that gives you length and strength, go for it.

Jennifer Joseph ~ WOW

Jennifer Joseph isn't a household name, but as the model for the Columbia Pictures logo -- the draped lady holding a torch -- her likeness is seen by millions of moviegoers every year. After Sony Pictures Entertainment bought Columbia Pictures in 1989, New Orleans artist Michael Deas was commissioned to update the famous logo that has been around since the 1930s. Jennifer Joseph, at the time a 31 year-old designer with The Times-Picayune newspaper, modelled for Deas, although he used computer-generated images to construct a composite for the face. Joseph herself later became a muralist in Houston, Texas. In 2004 actress Annette Bening told movie critic Roger Ebert that she had been told she had been the model for the logo, but artist Deas said that wasn't the case.

U.S. Mint Fixes Values of Precious Metal

It was just a matter of time before government organizations like the United States Mint began to incorporate their work into the economy, and, in the case of the United States Mint, it isn't hard since they are involved with precious metals.

Forbes.com carries an article by Reuters titled "US-Mint/Pricing: US gold, platinum coin prices set by market-mint," that reports that the U.S. Mint says its gold and platinum numismatic coins will now have their prices directly set based on market changes.

This move is designed to make the price of these precious metals more responsive to market changes and to more concretely average prices. This is something that is desired because of the volatile economy.
