- Search stock photos by color scheme. I generally hate (hate hate hate) that obnoxious stock photography that shows up everywhere, but this is actually kind of cool. Pick a color, and find pictures that match your site. I'd love to see this kind of tool hooked up to more personal photo galleries. |

- Man Pleads Guilty to Raping his own 2 month old Daughter But wait, that's just the beginning. This guy's daddy heads the state Corrections Department and part of his plea is to reduce the amount of time he's going to spend in jail for this most heinous act. This guy is facing, if the judge agrees to the plea, only 6 months in jail! The standard sentence for first-degree child rape is seven to 10 years in prison. He's admitted to molesting a 9 year old in Maine before and has also been convicted of orchestrating an armed robbery. |

- Lloyd Grove in the New York Daily News has reported that somebody has paid $20,000 to spend a day with Kiefer Sutherland on the '24' set. Fortunately, the money went to charity. You can read the story here - it's the story about Dennis Leary and the charity auction, the third one down the page. If anyone could spare a couple of dollars so I can spent a few minutes looking shifty around the back fence of the '24' set, whilst shaking hands with the guy who spit polishes Kiefer's shoes, you know where to send it. Cheers. |

- BOB IS RIGHT: The editorial in today's Stanford Daily rocks. After taking apart the arguments against Hoover's removal, the author levels this:Given that, let’s say you take 75 people and get them to protest outside Hoover for an hour, and the other guys organize 25 people for a counter-protest in favor of academic freedom. The result? |

- X10 Pop-Under Mongers Declare Bankruptcy A year ago, if you had asked anyone what the biggest scourge of the internet was, chances are they would have spat out something unprintable about X-10. X-10 makes a small spy camera that supposedly is pretty good for its price. I wouldn't know because I certainly will never buy one. In late 2001, X-10 rolled out an advertising campaign that buried virtually the entire Internet with pop-under ads. Within a month, X-10 was one of the most hated names on the internet. |

- Apple's new OS X update, Panther, has been out for a few days now, and many are cooing over the Exposé feature which allows the user, with a single keystroke (and then some mouse motion & clicking or a few more keystrokes), to navigate to any open window they desire. I think it's a nice feature in theory but clunky in its implementation. Apple also improved the Command-Tab switching between...... |
