    Responding to Seth MacFarlane’s impersonation of Ryan Lochte on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, the Olympic swimmer says the actor got him “all wrong.” Read for instance CBS News, Extra, She Knows and College News

    “I think they got me all wrong on there,” Lochte told Extra at the ALMA Awards. “The whole skit that was from when I first started doing interviews like 6 or 7 years ago. I didn’t know what to really say doing interviews but now I’m more relaxed.”

    A school of mullets passed and seemed to surround a beachgoer about 75 yards off shore in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Fortunately, he had his waterproof camera with him. Now, I think I would have hurried to get out of the water, because when fish behave like that, surely ‘something’ is chasing them :-)

    Did you know that local traveling regulations at Svalbard state that you must always have fireams and protection devices as hand, such as a big-game rifle and tripwire with flares for camping, due to the risk of meeting polar bears? So no skiing and swimming on Svalbard for me, thank you very much. Still beautiful, though.

    My dear wife led a school trip to Germany last week, where they among other things visited the 1936 Olympic venue. So she thought I should have a couple of photos of the old Olympiapark Schwimmstadion Berlin, to get that bit closer to completing my New Year’s resolution.

    When you think of garage-based tech start-ups, hardware makers like Apple or data-manipulators like Google probably spring to mind before biotech, and way before farming. Lewis Weil, though, has for the last several years been perfecting the art of growing seaweed in central Texas, and his Austin Sea Veggies have garnered interest from gourmets and restaurants across the U.S. Read Slashdot

    This YouTube video of a Labrador Retriever named Sasha kissing a fish while swimming and playing with it has gone viral. And the fish keeps coming back for more kisses. Via MyFox8
