Someone went to the time and trouble to make a HL2 map of Vault 15 from the game Fallout. This video is about 4 minutes long, and is pretty cool if you've ever played the Fallout series of games.

So, I decided to start using tags on my LJ. I also went into my tag management page and set things so that anyone on my friends list can create new tags or add existing ones to my entries. This way, readers can classify my journal entries according to their preferences. Call it a social experiment, if you will.

To tag one of my entries, please do the following:

1) Click on the link to "view comments" for a particular entry.

2) At the top of the entry you are now viewing, you'll see a button that looks like this: Click on it.

3) Scroll down past the entry, and you'll see a text box where you can enter tags, and a select list underneath of it where you can select existing tags if you like. Enter whatever tags you feel are appropriate, and then click "Save Tags". That's it!

Comments welcome.

This image was originally posted in a friends-locked entry by someone who prefers to remain anonymous.



The original article that was quoted follows, and points out the problem with that picture much better than I could:
Being able to pull images off the Internet has made life for the people in TV graphics departments so much easier.

When a big story hits and you need a quick graphic, you call upstairs, the Artist can quickly log onto Google images and find some kind of picture that will help.

But, one eagle eyed blogger says maybe TV stations should look at the pictures they are pulling off the net.

The above photo is a screen cap from WAGT in Augusta, GA. The story was about how Kripsy Kreme s looking to make a a new donut that would be made of whole wheat. They say it will be a lot less calories.

It appears that the Graphics gang at WAGT hit up Google images for a shot of the Krispy Kreme logo and a donut.

Obviously the Graphic's person did not look very close at the photo. Check it out right below the Krispy Kreme logo.


Edit: Further coverage of this can be found here.

Also, here's a video of the news clip where that screen was grabbed from:
