- Matthew Shepard, a young man from Wyoming, was brutally murdered for being gay. In the years since that awful moment in American history, he has become a flashpoint, a keyword in the fight against hate crimes. Most people, when you mention his name, will nod knowingly: yes, I remember that. In fact, a play has even been written about him, called "The Laramie Project. |

- Digital 'Ghosts' To Guide Students On Campus "The students at Copenhagen's new IT University will soon be guided by invisible, but talkative digital agents, known as ghosts or Disembodied Location-specific Conversational Agents. The ghosts are to compete amongst themselves for privileges such as better vocabulary or the ability to clone themselves. Ignored ghosts can die out completely. This project is a lot more serious than it sounds at face value - several papers have been published already." [Slashdot] Hopefully the librarian ghosts will guide them through information literacy, in which case they'll outlast all of the other ghosts.... |

- In the most surprising find since the re-emergence of the coelacanth fish in the early 20th century, a team of archeologists from the University of New Mexico has stumbled upon evidence that Amtrak is not extinct, as was widely presumed, but is in fact alive and well. "We were following some old tracks which a graduate student discovered in 2001," said Gordon Wiley, professor of archeology at UNM. "We started a dig intended to reconstruct a map of commonly used Amtrak routes in the Southwest. It's an ongoing collaborative project between a consortium of universities. We were most surprised when a genuine train came barrelling down the tracks. |

- Like a city corner that has fallen victim to the graffiti tag signs of rival gangs, the Internet has now become the basis of a war of words and worms between virus writers, who are unleashing virus variants to eat one another's work and spread to more computers. The exchange among virus writers does not involve particularly damaging or malicious code, but it is causing chaos, according to virus fighters. |

Now another peak and valley are on the horizon -- not in Silicon Valley but far away in India. |

- I replaced some code in the individual archive template to not link to people's URL's anymore. The site is getting spammed to death by comment spammers, and I can't keep up, even with using the MT blacklist plugin. I changed this tag MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1" to MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1" show_url="0" So the name now links to the email, not the URL. I am wondering if I should show a non-clickable version of the URL? If it doesn't increase pagerank of the spammers I'd do it. |
