The week ahead (Aug 10 2003 02:09 GMT) - This upcoming week is shaping up to be one the most memorable in my young life. I'm taking a trip to geek mecca: Microsoft HQ. I get to meet Scott Guthrie, Rob Howard, Don Box, et al. And if that weren't enough, Robert Scoble was kind enough to let me stay at his place. |

White House urged EPA to be less alarming after 9/11 (Aug 10 2003 02:08 GMT) - CBS News: An investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency's inspector general has found that White House officials instructed the agency to be less alarming and more reassuring to the public in the first few days after the Sept. 11 attacks, The New York Times reports in its Saturday editions. The investigation specifically cites official statements about air quality after the collapse of the World Trade Center. The agency "did not have sufficient data and analyses" to make a "blanket statement" when it announced seven days after the attack that the air around ground zero was safe to breathe, the Times quotes the report as saying. |

Going to Mackinac (Aug 10 2003 02:03 GMT) - I will be leaving for Mackinac, MI tomorrow and will be returning on Thursday. Chances are that I won’t be able to find a computer so, unless I'm lucky enough to find a library or cyber cafe, I won't be updating this site until I get back. I'm planning on finding some time to think about what I would like to add to and change about this site. I'm planning on getting the forums back up within a week after I get back. I'll probably be going back to phpBB instead of Invision Power Board. |

An Open Letter To Andrew Sullivan (Aug 10 2003 02:03 GMT) - Andrew, A true eagle can do a lot to break through the clutter of misconception between "anti-war" and "Anti-War", if you choose.... I must admit that I have not read you regularly enough to know the full nuance of your concerns with Howard Dean's Defense, nor your spirited backing of the President's Offense (pre-emptive military action theory, that is...) Most Americans continue to "support" the war in Iraq. I read in this polling an optimistic public belief that, despite grave concerns of an ill-prepared reconstruction plan and overtly propagandized war, American Democracy is an exportable good. Howard Dean believes the same. |
