Oh bum bot. We remember when you were fresh out of the hands of creator Rufus Terrill. Now look at you — featured on the Colbert Report. You may have seen photos of this vagrant-deterring robot before, but you haven’t lived till you’ve seen the hard-hitting, in-depth coverage that Stephen Colbert delivers on it. Take a look at the video after the break to see a defender of America (and bot) on the front lines of battle.

If you love outdoor photography, and you've never visited any of the USA's National Parks, then there's a treasure trove of photo opportunities waiting for you.

I took the one above in Zion National Park during early November, 2006.

I haven't been to many National Parks because I caught on to them too late in life; but the ones I've visited have provided me with all the "photo ops" I could have hoped for. Because of various medical problems, I haven't been able to get to the better parts of many parks so I know there's even more to be explored, a lot more.

Now, Canon Digital Cameras is making a trip to a National Park even more inviting by giving you a chance to enter a digital photo you took in a National Park in their, "Photography In The Parks Photo Contest", and win some great prizes.

Here's the link to the government's National Parks website.

Have fun and good luck, and remember to take a camera with you whenever possible. Look around, you'll find a picture somewhere.

A Sprint employee, Daryl J. Roy, working in Dayton, Ohio, recently took a liking to a female customer, Nicole McElveen, to which he has sold a phone. He began by sending text messages, but later he started sending picture messages. It began with simple text messages mentioning her appearance, and then requests to have dinner. Later he took it even further and started sending pictures, which began with his face and eventually turned into pics of his whole body, and naked pics at that. Also, an interesting thing is that she didn’t even have a plan that included picture messaging, so she would have gotten billed for those unwanted and very creepy messages, as a salesman you would have thought he would have taken that into consideration, of course being as creepy as he sounds he most likely would not have cared anyway.

Nicole McElveen said that she wasn’t interested in any of his advances, and they were uncalled for. Roy was clearly going against Sprint policy by using her cell phone number in this way, so when all is said and done, this will put himself and could also put Sprint in hot water. In court, McElveen is attempting to sue both Roy and Sprint for over a million dollars, due to sever emotional stress, loss of sleep, nervousness as well as hospital and medical expenses.

While a million seems like a lot, I certainly hope she wins the case because it wasn’t fair for Roy to do something like this to her, and maybe the next creep that thinks something like this is a good idea will have second thoughts.
