- I've been reading Dan Simmons (2003), Ilium (New York: HarperCollins: 0380978938): Hector stretched his arms towards his son, but the boy cried and grabbed for his nurse, scared at the fierce sight of his father's armor, and especially at the nodding horse-hair plume on Hector's helmet. Hector and Andromache laughed. |

- Because the suit filed by Fox News against Al Franken might qualify--after all being unsuccessful at being funny isn't a barrier to calling something satire. Fox said in the suit that Franken flew into a rage near a table of Fox News personalities at a press correspondents' dinner in April and acted "either intoxicated or deranged."

If you ever see a stoned-looking, orange cat in my pic o' the day, that's him in his younger days (probably five or six judging by the bondi blue iMac in the picture).He's not as spry as he used to be, but the new cat Darla has really been good for him since she's maybe two or three years old. He's more active than he's been in a long time. |

- Wired: The New Diamond Age. Two companies in the US have perfected techniques for creating cheap artificial diamonds, virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. The story of how they got there is riveting - retired army generals purchasing cold war soviet technology, veiled death threats to scientists at conferences and best of all, a very real threat to the De Beers diamond cartel / monopoly.
