Some should be old-school websites with static content, some should be built with dynamic content management systems, some should be pure forums, and the rest should be weblogs.

- It is now just over 9 hours until the end of the auction for the inventory of one used bookstore. As I move from one phase of my life to the next, the inventory of a bookstore which existed for 26 years in central North Carolina is being sold. Included are many thousands of books. The advertised number is 20,000+, but the actual number is much higher. My own personal estimate is over 30,000 books, and we're still pulling books out to add to the collection. |

- Time is reporting that Katie Couric has been approached by CBS to anchor the CthBS Evening News. She would be a good fit. Replacing a biased liberal male anchor with a biased liberal female anchor could possibly help bring up the ratings.
