From the Dallas Morning News Technology BlogI got a tour yesterday of Netflix's distribution center in Irving -- one of four in Texas, and 58 nationwide -- and it was a fascinating peek behind the curtains of a company that has shipped about two billion DVDs since it was founded in 1997 and is gearing up for a future where online viewing will eventually make DVDs as quaint as VHS tapes.
The Irving distribution center handles about 47,000 DVD (and now Blu-ray) discs on a typical day, using U.S. Post Office machines that can scan 30,000 discs in an hour, insert 4,200 outbound discs into envelopes, and sort by zip code more than 17,000 envelopes per hour.

The year 2009 is now coming to a close, and it's time to take a look back over the past 12 months through photographs. Historic elections were held in Iran, India and the United States, some wars wound down while others escalated, China turned 60, and the Berlin Wall was remembered 20 years after it came down. Each photo tells its own tale, weaving together into the larger story of 2009. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days. Please watch for part 3 tomorrow and have a look back at part 1 from yesterday. (40 photos total)

Everyone needs encouragement as they are growing up. God is some kind of way to understand the world around us. While we are growing up EVERYTHING – but really everything can gets on our minds. For example is it true my father will not get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house? Or God, it’s o.k. that you made different religions but don’t you get mixed up sometimes? Or did they really talk that fancy in the bible? Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don’t You keep the ones You already have… Millions of questions are going through that little heads and there is just one cool way to find the answer: DEAR GOD NOTES. This is one small collection. Enjoy.

Are we putting too many words in Jesus' mouth?

Your kid is a special human being to you and therefore you should ensure that your kids bedroom designs are also that much special. We all adore our kids and love them very much and it is exactly for the same reason that to make them feel special we should always go for the best things; especially their bedroom because it is their own space. Designing a kids bedroom can be an ultimately fun and enjoyable process. The hardest part of the decision making is to choose what type of theme to opt for, with choices such as boating, castles, football, fairytale and history the choices are literally endless. But have you ever tought at a Jurassic Park themed bedroom ? The bottom jaw of the dinosaur is hinged to reveal a built in toy box, and the murals in the bedroom reflect the dinosaur theme.
