So, if you happen to go to Flickr and look at the new photo page layout (though admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve been to Flickr, so the newness of this could be relative) there’s a box that pops up at the top of the screen.Take the tour and mouse over the 5 talking points to see a lovely surprise at the end. I’ve put it behind a cut as to not ruin it for those who’d prefer to try it themselves.

Try it here.

I’ve been staring at this for days. I love it so much I’ve set it as my new home page. Ha!

Icanhascheezburger.com does it again with this cute little guy:

Look familiar? This is the same little guy that’s in our header!

ICanHasCheezBurger always has the cutest LOLPandas.

Finally, the National Geographic Pandas game for Nintendo DS has been released! I’ve been anticipating this for months! I might be a little old for a Nintendo DS, but I don’t care, I’m young enough at heart to enjoy it! I’ve already placed my order and I’m eagerly anticipating my new panda babies’ arrival. When my stress levels get high I know I can just pull out my DS and let the little panda cubbies lower my blood pressure. Yay!

The best price I’ve found so far is at Amazon for only $29.99

Even if you don’t have a DS you can enjoy the amazingly cute wallpapers on the official site. There are 16 to choose from; my two favorites are after the cut!

Awesome reader Myrtti sent in this amazing background graphic. It’s the winner of the Fast Graphics Competition at the  Assembly Summer 2008 Demoparty. It’s the Butterfly Effect by Korpi, and I adore it so much it’s my new background! Thanks so much for sending it in, Myrtti! You can see it in use on her computer here.

I’m a Google-aholic. I love all things Google and for the first time ever, they’ve featured a panda in their logo. To celebrate the first day of the Beijing Olympics, they’ve featured the official mascots. All you have to do is go to Google today to see it in action. If you miss it, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

I am glad to announce that Mei Xiang turned ten years old on Tuesday. Happy Birthday Mei Xiang. Lets hope and pray she has another little baby panda to cuddle soon. Below is a chart of her hormone profile and at this page you can watch and track her progress.
