These things happen. Sometimes, whales just...
explode.
Spirit has a snow crash. Dollars to donughts this is a software problem.
GOP, the party of
power for power's sake. Isn't this what Nixon resigned over?
Yitzhak Laor on the actions of the Israeli ambassador to Sweden.

The most excellent thing I own: the
Lifebook S6120. Two month's rent and worth every penny. Thanks to the excellent
ndiswrapper, I've gotten the internal wifi working. Now I'm at
Moda Cafe, using someone's unintentionally public network (at last, coffee and wifi!). Been writing database schemas for the past two hours and I've hardly even eaten up half my battery-- and I don't even have speedstep enabled. I'm a happy clam.
No comment.

One thing I've always liked about Handspring is their upgrade path. They always seem to offer buy-back/upgrade deals when they roll out a new product generation. Of course, I can't bear to be parted from my original orange Handspring. Maybe I'll retrofit it with an AC power adapter and make it into an alarm clock/picture stand.
