The Old Prison @ Night
The Old Prison @ Night
Annecy, France.
This crystal clear alpine river flows through town around both sides of the small island and building that used to be a prison.
The "Palais de l'Isle" was built in 1132 and has an interesting history:

Hackers target core internet computers
Internet
'The average internet user would have barely noticed' the attack, an Icann spokesman said. Photograph: Guardian
Hackers last night mounted the most significant attack since 2002 on the computers that direct traffic on the internet, it emerged today.
The hackers, believed to be from Asia, bombarded the 13 computers, or root servers, that serve as the internet's central address books.
But although the assault lasting several hours was the largest in the past five years, it had little effect on internet users.
"It was a significant and concerted attack, but the average internet user would have barely noticed," said Paul Levins, the vice-president of corporate affairs at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann), the body that oversees the running of the root servers and the net's addressing system.

Crane Cabin
Crane Cabin
From my second urban exploring trip to the same location as the first one.
An old crane cabin. Probably abandoned around the 1980's.
I like the rust on the sides and the big knobs. The view was nice too... :-)

Van Halen's new Bassist...
Van Halen's New Bassist? Eddie's Boy Wonder!
Posted Nov 2nd 2006 6:05PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Music, Kids
Van Halen has finally found its new bassist -- and it looks like the rock gods are keeping the band a family affair.
Van Halen has a new bassist
TMZ is first to confirm that Van Halen has hired 15-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen -- the son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen and estranged wife Valerie Bertinelli, and nephew of drummer Alex Van Halen -- as the new bassist for the band.
Wolfgang replaces longtime bassist Michael Anthony, who left the band earlier this year. Eddie Van Halen's spokesperson Janie Liszewski tells TMZ that Wolfgang, known as "Wolfie," has already joined his dad and uncle for rehearsals in the studio for a 2007 summer tour. Wolfie played dates with his father during the band's 2004 tour, and the song "316" on 1991's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," was named for Wolfie's birth date that same year.
The band is still without a lead singer, despite rumors that David Lee Roth might rejoin.
