- To add a little color to this page and move some of the word-heavy portions down a bit, I thought I’d add a photograph. This was taken last Friday. What does one do with empty storefronts that line the streets of an ailing downtown? Make it into an outdoor art gallery, of course. |

- Open source and global development The world's full of smart people who have, collectively, a lot of the intellectual bandwidth needed to absorb and master open-source infrastructure. It's the scarcity of expertise with the software that has made open source uneconomical in a lot of cases. As people in India and Russia and elsewhere dig into open source technologies, they can broker that expertise and help bridge the gap between the theory and the practice of reuse.

- A war long sought and planned for is now underway. All deliberations and warnings of the United Nations notwithstanding, an overpowering military apparatus has attacked preemptively in violation of international law. No objections were heeded. The Security Council was disdained and scorned as irrelevant. As the bombs fall and the battle for Baghdad continues, the law of might prevails. |

- They lay in lines, the car salesman who'd just lost his eye but whose feet were still dribbling blood, the motorcyclist who was shot by American troops near the Rashid Hotel, the 50-year-old female civil servant, her long dark hair spread over the towel she was lying on, her face, breasts, thighs, arms and feet pock-marked with shrapnel from an American cluster bomb. For the civilians of Baghdad, this is the real, immoral face of war, the direct result of America's clever little "probing missions" into Baghdad. [More] |

- The arbitrariness of media attentionAs we fret (rightly) about the casualties of war in Iraq, ponder this:"The four-and-a-half year conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been described as the worst since World War II. An estimated 3.3 million people have died as a result of the war making it the "tragedy of modern times", according to a report issued by the International Rescue Committee aid agency." |

There he was again today, on the streets near the Palestine Hotel, spinning the most ridiculous lies. Now, he thinks, the US forces are surrounded in B-town! What, by all of their 17 tanks left? |

One of the sisters, Carolyn Gilbert, turned to the jury as the guilty verdict was read Monday and said: "We are not guilty under God's law and international law." Another sister, Ardeth Platte, remained silent but made the sign of the cross as she looked at the jury of six men and six women. ¬ |

- So I take it's completely normal to feel kind of off and sleepy the first week of Daylight Saving Time? I just noticed over at Zuly's that this is a hard week for her because of it. I've noticed it at a couple of other blogs too. Personally, I think my body is in full on protest mode. I'm pretty much not tired when we go to bed at night. |
