While this is quite interesting and very cool, I'm not sure I can support the idea of calling it a "computer"…

It's a bit old, but I can't help but laugh.  Aluminum falcon?!  Panda Bear?!  Great stuff…

OK so this may be slightly juvenile but I thought it would be fun. And I am quite curious to see what my fellow JohhnyV'ers would be :)

I am 90% Green Lantern and have strong will power and a good imagination.

Stop digging when your hole fills with water, mole men surround you, or your hole collapses. This is a site that maps where you would end up ifyou dug a very deep hole. I dont know about you but I always wondered this growing up.

If I dig a very deep hole

This is so silly and mind-numbingly pointless it has left me speechless… 

Short, sweet and funny…  Personally, I needed the laugh!

We've talked a lot about sub-species on this site and it can be somewhat confusing but this study is about discovering geographic pockets where two sub-species' habitats overlap. Could have some interesting effects on the population dynamics. Will they "re-breed" back in to one species? Food for thought…plus this was a chance to play with the new editor:)

Ladies and gentlemen you have chosen wisely, update your links johnny-v.blogspot.com has evolved into johnnyVonline.com. I want to begin by thanking all who brought johnnyV to this point, without the interest from its readers and contributors johnnyV would not have made it to its first birthday. I decided to celebrate by registering a domain and doing a site redesign (lets say 2.0).

There are a lot of new features and changes to explore, but I want our contributors be the first to get comfortable with the site.

How contributors login to the new site (takes about 2 mins):

1. You will find your login name (from blogger) listed on the right under "Link list of authors"

2. Find & click the login button which will take you to a login screen

3. At the login screen click "Lost your Password?"

4. Enter your username as listed in step 1 and type in your email address

5. Finally you will be emailed instructions to finish the setup. If you run into any problems you know where to find me

So this new model gives us alot of flexibility, functionality, and room to grow, which we will discuss in depth after we all get use to our new digs. In the coming weeks I will be making changes (especially to the post editor) and bugfixes. So let me know what you think, its all customizable now. With the first year behind us we say goodbye to johnny-v.blogspot.com with 530 articles and 8,625 hits, and look forward to new horizons.

A special thanks to Mr. Tex and Elliot for adding their expertise where I lack in the building of this new site.

After much discussion and deliberation here is just some great stuff we have seen over the past year, in no particluar order.
