    Dragon shape in phosphate fertilizer mining waste photograph by J Henry Fair. His site Industrial Scars is one of the most disturbing & depressing sites you will see today, but thankfully someone is documenting this stuff.
He is also the one who has photographic evidence of the OTHER SPILL in the Gulf, coming from the Ocean Saratoga rig, owned by the Diamond Offshore company, which is now being identified because of the heightened attention around the region.
First reported by SkyTruth, Gawker and other media outlets have picked up on the story and hopefully we’ll hear some thoughts from someone in charge of this mess soon.

    Agree with Greg on this on. High growth opportunity for this company.

    So this Rocketboom Tech might be considered a little morbid, but it’s nothing different than writing a will. 

    What happens to your digital assets when you die? 

    gbattle sez:

    It’s great to see this company in existence.  I pitched this exact idea at length to a VC in early 2008 when I was exploring EIR opportunities.  There’s an entire growing economy of managing digital assets throughout one’s lifecycle, both owned and personally identified. from baby life-casting to digital executors to eternal digital memorials.  There will also be a host of companies providing “incinerate” or “expunge” type services to combat the youthful indiscretions of today’s overshare generation.
