- WiFi Redwoods. UC Berkeley researchers instrumented redwood trees with tiny sensor "motes" that measure light, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.

- The Daily Sucker for Friday, August 15, 2003 America's Web Site with more Mystery Meat Navigation for your eating pleasure.

The thing that draws the title bar and lets you resize and move windows around the screen. AfterStep is a nice app, definitely. |

- A small update on the missing Democrats of the Texas Senate. Instead of investing in fixing our schools or improving health care, Senate Republicans instead spent the morning debating the denials of parking spaces and phone service to the Senate staff. This is an incredible abuse of power. And fleeing to New Mexico for weeks to avoid a vote of which you might not like the outcome is not? Here's a part I don't get, though: |

- Is anyone else getting annoyed with the obtrusiveness of the network logos? You know the icons in the bottom of the TV screen that identify the channel. Several years ago, they started popping up on cable and then the networks. At the time I didn't think it was a big deal. They were translucent and small. |
