- Former CIA Agent Larry Johnson, who worked with Wilson's CIA Agent wife, and who was on Newshour with Jim Lehrer in the last few days, was on MSNBC's Buchanan and Press tonight. He stated that one of the leakers is tied to the Vice President's office, is a well known individual, and has been involved in past scandals. He says that the leaker works in the Executive Office Building (i.e. not the West Wing). |

- The evil is there, but you cannot see it directly. You must relax and re-focus. Use your peripheral vision. There are shadowy shapes at the edges of your consciousness, perhaps just beyond. Do not attempt to look directly at them, they will vanish. |

- We survived the 9-hour trip to Muswellbrook in NSW up an interesting short cut that might not go down in history as the best way to get from Shepparton to NSW. It was entertaining though, bumping along those gravel roads, and getting to rubber neck over all those exclusive looking horsey properties, who could teach us all a thing or two about what kind of houses to aspire to. We arrived and I was expecting similar temperatures to last year - 30 degree at least - well, we've had rain, hail, wind, thunder and lightning. Everyone up here is desperate for moisture so even the sight of show cows running for cover did not dampen their mood. The rain is a godsend for Hunter Valley folks and coming from Northern Victoria, who are we to deny them! |

- If the terrorists don't get us, the extra red tape and taxes will! So far, many measures in "the war against terrorism" have been expensive failures. Networking, so powerful in the business context should be equally effective in the international context. It is hard to hate people we know as real people rather than as "symbols" or "caricatures." Where do we start? |

- Hell on Earth (as of writing, their site seems to be down) is a rock band based in Florida. At their next concert on Saturday, they are planning to webcast the suicide / euthanasia of a friend of the band who is terminally ill. Attempts have been made to ban the event, but the band insists it will still go ahead with the show. It is still unknown if the suicide 'stunt' is real or... |

- This evening I attended the general meeting of the Democratic party in my legislative district. We met in a local public library. This was my first time attending a meeting and everybody was very welcoming to the Muslim in their midst. We discussed the recent primary elections and how various Democratic candidates did, then heard reports on meetings of the state and county Democratic party central committees. The state central committee had passed a resolution in support of paper trails for electronic voting machines. |

- Bit of a bad week for MS. First the Indian Government goes Linux / OS and now South Korean Government announces the same with savings of $300m a year with the swap. Wonder what Steve Ballmer's pitch to the Korean Government was. "Look guys I know you will save $300m a year by adopting OS as well as getting code that you can adapt yourselves and fix all the bugs yourselves but you are missing out spending all that cash with us as well as locking yourselves into proprietary bug ridden insecure software" Can't work out why they didn't jump for it? |

- 1. I'm such a jerk, that I'll disguise my inability to drive my huge truck by using two spaces, thereby embarrassing my girlfriend horribly.2. I'm such a jerk, and possibly so drunk, that I'm going to park my late-model high-end BMW luxury sedan in two spaces, including the handicap space!"Guy #1 was classic bro dude, angry white male with apologetic-looking woman. |
