Baboon Macbeth Opera?

Alexander McCall Smith wrote (probably...) the first opera about baboons. In his "The Okavango Macbeth"  the Shakespeare’s classic Macbeth characters are played by baboons. Not so strange as it seems at first glance because in a troupe of baboons there could be an ambitious female baboon who wants her mate to be more of an alpha male than he is, which is really the story of Macbeth...

Probably the best iPad app so far: Air Video

Air Video streams video from your iMac to your iPad (and iPhone). You don't need to copy your videos to the device just to watch them. The amazing thing is that you don't have to convert them to mp4, air video will convert them on the fly and the video will start almost immediately. Stremaning is done in a 2400 bit rate so you really get good quality. At only $2.99 for the pro version it is a bargain.
This is awesome!

Courtesy of iStockphoto at the WEB2.0 Expo last week in SF. A professional photographer made this nice head shot to use as a profile picture. She used a CANON EOS  7D with an  EF 50mm F1.2L USM objective - which explains probably why the picture is as good (without any flash mind you).
