Playing the Big Five Game in Zambia
If you've ever been on an African safari, you've probably heard of the "Big Five" game animals. Although I had heard of the term, I didn't know that it was originally coined to refer to the most dangerous African game animals to hunt on foot. During my safari in Zambia I was 
happy to shoot these animals, but only with my 300mm lens! I was able to check off Cape Buffalo (above), lion, leopard, and elephant within 24 hours of arriving in South Luangwa National Park. And by the time I visited Lower Zambezi National Park, I had multiple sitings of those animals, including my close encounter with two lazy male lions. At Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park near Victoria Falls I checked off the last animal from my Big Five list, the rhinoceros. So thank you, Zambia, for spoiling me rotten and making me think that seeing the Big Five is a piece of cake!
This elephant was heading straight for our safari truck in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. He came so close to us that a moment after I took this image my telephoto lens would no longer focus. I put down the camera, let my adrenaline rush, and enjoyed the thrill of a gigantic creature walking within about ten feet of me!
See the rest of the Big Five photos after the jump.

NSFW: Playing Hangman on Twitter
On the afternoon of Halloween, a New York based blogger spotted a group of kids lined up at the side of a road, throwing rocks and eggs at passing cars. After calling 911, he went home and searched for the kids on Facebook, adding them as “friends”. Sure enough, before long the tiny (alleged) thugs were boasting about their crimes in status updates, which the blogger shared with the world.
Two days ago, another blogger - this time a woman who works at a major Internet company - was (allegedly, and that word is very important) sexually assaulted at a conference by a man who works at a different Internet company. Again, the (alleged) victim contacted the police, but again she then turned to social media to name and shame her (still alleged) attacker.
In both cases, the Internet’s response was swift - with bloggers and Twitterers and Facebookers leaping in to repost the allegations and to demand justice be done.
Welcome to today’s cyber vigilantism.
