There’s a new Internet meme going around, and it is called “Prairie Dog Rapture”.  If you just look at the awesome ridiculousness of the painting, you will see why everyone loves it.

Although people call it “Prairie Dog Rapture”, the real name for the painting is “Praising Prairie Dogs”.  It was a painting done as part of artist Anthony Falbo’s Light & Dark series.  I for one wouldn’t mind having this hanging on my wall

I haven’t been posting here as often as I should, so let’s try something new.  I scour the Web each day really quick so I don’t fall behind on technology.  Here are the things today that caught my interest:

Hopefully there’ll be another post tomorrow…
