How about some research (Jun 16 2004 15:59 GMT) - I ferverently hope that even the majority of Americans wish the same. |

On the right track (Jun 16 2004 15:59 GMT) - Dad's very much better now, I'm glad to say. He's totally fine mentally, thank goodness, but he's still a bit fragile physically; he gets tired extremely quickly. He should be... |

Am I walking into eternity along Bellingham Bay? (Jun 16 2004 15:58 GMT) - As is widely noted, today's the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, the day on which Ulysses was set in 1904. Joyce set it that day in commemoration of the day he met (and etc.) his wife. Of course Ulysses has been much with us lately. How many pieces have I read over the past few months about this or that author declaring it to be overrated? |

Quote of the day (Jun 16 2004 15:58 GMT) - I couldn't agree more. I have some hope that as Spanish becomes more prevelant in the US, we will slowly become more aware that other languages actually exist, but in the meantime, there is nothing like travelling somewhere else to humble you. Of course, the most humbling part is that so many of those places, the people speak English as well as their native language, and often another language as well. I have learned Spanish, and largely forgotten it, and am trying to learn German, but it is hard here in the US where there is so little exposure or chance to use it. It took living in Venezuela to learn Spanish, so perhaps I simply need to move to Germany for a year. |

Problems of upstream (Jun 16 2004 15:57 GMT) - Each time the radio client tries to upstream a changed file, I have the following error message: Can't upstream because "Can't call the script because the name "xmlStorageSystem" hasn't been defined." Does anyone have any idea where it may come from? A config file to look at, or any option to check... Thank you. |

Requiem Book of Nod? (Jun 16 2004 15:57 GMT) - From RPGnet: Nifty. BTW, are we going to get something a-la Book of Nod? It was very interesting to read, the "Myths" books. I probably shouldn't answer this, but maybe. |

GPS system that looks like Grand Theft Auto (Jun 16 2004 15:57 GMT) - ... Sony's new XYZ in-car GPS navigation system presents a ground-level visualization of your route that looks like a low-rez Grand Theft Auto. I became a loyal Hertz renter when they introduced their crappy-but-serviceable Neverlost GPS a few years back (I have no sense of direction and sometimes get lost playing Quake), and this week I took a flyer and tried out Avis's new GPS system, which is unspeakably shit: it's a Nextel phone that you suction-cup to your windscreen. You call a call-cent... |

DIY ITrip amp (Jun 16 2004 15:57 GMT) - This fellow created an interesting amp design for an iTrip. Boing Boing reader Ian Meyer says, " He said that it would probably be capable of overpowering broadcast stations for a small radium (ie: enough to blast some Queen in place of the hippity-hoppity music that the guy in the car next to me is listening to loud enough to be heard for half a mile)." [Ed: Hippity Hoppity? |

Expensing's Seven Lives (Jun 16 2004 15:57 GMT) - Mercury News (reg req): Panel OKs measure to block expensing. A congressional committee overwhelmingly approved legislation Tuesday that would block a proposal to force companies to deduct the cost of stock options. This is a cheap vote by committee members for legislation they surely suspect will never become law. It shouldn't become law. |

A tiny camera providing 'Funky Security for Junior Citizens,' the Juju communicates with the Ministry of Homeland Security via satellite, keeping our kids aware of the nation's threat alert levels, and allowing them to photograph suspicious activity, especially that of the brown and bearded, according to the delightfully illustrated 'How Does Your Juju work?' page. ...
