- A few weeks after my dad and I took in that celestial light show in the Texas Hill Country, I started adapting the words of Psalm 19. I finished the song this week, but the result is not strictly speaking an adaptation; it’s more like a meditation on the text. At least I didn’ |

- Scalia Was Cheney Hunt Trip Guest; Ethics Concern Grows Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia traveled as an official guest of Vice President Dick Cheney on a small government jet that served as Air Force Two when the pair came here last month to hunt ducks. The revelation cast further doubts about whether Scalia can be an impartial judge in Cheney's upcoming case before the Supreme Court, legal ethics experts said. The hunting trip took place just weeks after the high court agreed to take up Cheney's bid to keep secret the details of his energy policy task force. |

- Oh snap, things for Kazaa and the parent company just took a turn for the worst as an Australian court served the company with a "search and seize" order. I'm guessing that's like a search warrant in the US, where the authorities have free reign to go through your stuff looking for evidence linked to a crime. Surprising that this happened as a result of no apparent court case, but who knows if it will cause any long term damage. |

- The Harvard University Gazette reports on cuts to Elsevier journals at Harvard. According to Sidney Verba, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and director of the University Library, the decision to eliminate these journals was the result of 15 months of careful consideration. "It was driven not only by current financial realities," Verba states, "but also - and perhaps more importantly - by the need to reassert control over our collections and to encourage new models for research publication at Harvard." Similar steps have been taken at other major research institutions, including Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and the Triangle Research Libraries Network. |

- Here linked is Bill S-2, a Senate Bill against spam. That's a laudable goal, of course, but some of the exact provisions are worrisome. It establishes an organization that all commercial ISPs are required to belong to, which sounds a lot like licensing of ISPs; the organization is defined to have powers and duties beyond spam-blocking, such as "regulating the ethical behaviour of its members"; it requires all ISPs to install spam filters, and pornography filtering is defined as one possible function of a spam filter; |
