- I received this article via email, without a link. It came from a military buddy so I suspect it's from Army Times or something similar. A very detailed reminder that we have a front with the terrorists in Afghanistan and our soldiers are risking their lives every day to keep us from fighting the terrorists at home.By Tim McGirk, Shkin The American soldiers at the Shkin firebase in Afghanistan live precariously on the front line, a target for al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters who launch frequent strikes from camps in nearby Pakistan. This border area is an unforgiving landscape of rocky hills and scrub pines where the enemy can nestle into position at close range while remaining invisible. |

- Picked up from BoingBoing: The robots.txt file for the White House website keeps search engines from crawling a bunch of directories which include the word "iraq" in their names. Most of the directories don't exist (the names were created by adding /iraq to a real directory), but "this robots.txt file does exclude external search engine robots from some 75 directories that actually exist on whitehouse. |

- In the interest of continuing with my stated goal for this blog, I feel I must now force myself to self-disclose my current intrapsychic musings. It has been a tiring, tedious day of falling further behind in paperwork, yet growing and becoming increasingly confident and praised for my skills at work. What is most perplexing to me is the connection this seems to have with my social life. It is at once utter discrepancy and union. Allow me to elaborate and perhaps I Will be able to wrap my mind around the conflicted sense I have gained over the weekend and the last couple of weeks.... |

- Got a good look at the Simi Valley fires — or at least the billowing cloud of smoke above them — from the plane on our way out of Santa Barbara about an hour ago. What I didn't expect to see was another fire, this one above Cuesta Grade, which is the long hill on Highway 101 north of San Luis Obispo that has been under construction for years.. Got a good shot of it from out over San Simeon. |

- Los famosos están que trinan. Desde siempre han tenido el ojete puesto en las revistas del corazón para ver si algún paparazzo les ha pescado con el culo al aire. Pero es que además, ahora tienen que controlar lo incontrolable: que sus tetas (o otras que se parezcan) no estén junto a su nombre y su careto en Internet. Pero tranquilos, normalmente detrás de lo que promete un link se esconde un montaje o, simplemente, nada. |
