Invasion! (Oct 29 2003 00:18 GMT) - Man, we've been invaded by the Teen Girl Squad! Check this out. I guess that's what happens when you write about the flavor of the month. I find it very amusing that these girls think that we are/have connections to The All American Rejects. I think it's time to mess... |

Whew!! For A Second There I Thought We Were Going To Support Tyranny, Terrorism And The Development Of WMD In Iran (Oct 29 2003 00:17 GMT) - U.S. to Support Freedom, Oppose Terrorism and WMD in Iran I know, I'm being a wise guy, but whoever wrote the title for this State Department release should have given it a second look.The United States intends to pursue a "flexible, dynamic and multifaceted" policy toward Iran in order to encourage the Iranian people's desire for greater freedom while countering negative policies of their government, such as pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and support for terrorism. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee October 28 that Iran "is a country in the midst of a tremendous transformation, and I believe American policy can affect the direction Iran will take. |

CBC RSS = Confusion? (from Reinvented Inc.) (Oct 29 2003 00:17 GMT) - 'It would seem to me that if I was the CBC, I would want my work product spread as far and wide as possible. They're a public service, after all, with a primary goal being something along the lines of "the greater good of all mankind." So if there was ever a technology that lent itself to eager and quick adoption by the CBC, you would think it would be the web syndication facilities offered by technologies like RSS.'This is a lost opportunity, so far. I waxed enthusiastic about rss internally a very long time ago but I'm a long way from any decision making power in this area. |

patrick @ 10/28/2003 01:54 PM (Oct 29 2003 00:15 GMT) - Rob may be right to call this alarmist, but I think a better description the article may be "buyer's remorse". Once any site is picked some scientist will find something that may be wrong with that site, because the truth is there is no perfect site for 10 thousand years of nuke waste storage. Macfarlane also seems to assume that scientist will not continue to monitor the situation (I' |

You can then search for information in books you have. According to Steven Johnson at Slate, this is the beginning of a new era in research. http://slate. |

Brad @ 10/28/2003 04:34 PM (Oct 29 2003 00:15 GMT) - Actually, the Haloscan folks were kind enough to import all my old YACCS comments... there's a way to export them from YACCS, then email them to the Haloscan folks. It's not an 'official' function of Haloscan, but if you ask nicely, and give them time, they might be willing to do it for ya when they get a chance. Very cool of 'em... |

My parents had a couple of albums by a folk band named The Spinners, which I remember as being quite strange. I'll have to see if I can find those. Thanks for the link to the gallery Ade, there are some corkers in there too. |

These are gorgeous though, in their own very strange way. The scariest recordsleeve in my dad's collection is by art garfunkel, and he's sitting in a suburban kitchen sucking his finger suggestively. |

the mass amateurisation of ads (Oct 29 2003 00:15 GMT) - i've had this idea for a while now, and i've come to terms with the reality that i'll likely never be in a position to implement it, so i'm just going to talk about it here, and maybe someone else will put it together. the idea is for a website that allows for advertisments to be created by anyone. the website is very simple. i have an idea for an ad. i go to the website, type up my idea, and give it a price. |
