Very cool tool! If you find yourself editing HTML, or just having trouble fixing formatting problems in your blog posts, you have to get Mozilla and installl the pnhtoolbar.
It lets you do cool stuff like outline all of the block elements — “why is that indented there?!”, view cookies, disable style sheets, enable a different style sheet, etc.

Senator Orrin Hatch, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Tuesday he favors developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Internet.
Yes, this is a country that has its priorities in order. We have tougher laws for selling drugs than for murder, and we think illegal music trading is worse than child pornography.

My Palm V just fell over and died – lost everything that hadn’t been sync-ed recently!
I think I’m going to go out tomorrow and buy a Sony Clié tomorrow. I don’t feel like buying anything too expensive, since I’m hoping to get something like this eventually.
Do any of the four people who read me have one? Are you using it with a Mac (OS X)?

This is very cool, and came out of my alma mater!
In honor of all of the people at Sunday’s gathering who were discussing their current and future tattoos, I present this article.

I read this after installing the newest Microsoft “security update” unfortunately. I’ve now agreed for Microsoft to connect to my machine and “fix” stuff whenever they feel like it.
If you caught our recent coverage of the Windows Media Player trio of security holes you may have followed a link to the TechNet download site for a patch, or you might have activated Windows Update. If you did the former (though, oddly, not if you did the latter), you would have been confronted with an End User License Agreement (EULA) stating, most ominously, that:
“You agree that in order to protect the integrity of content and software protected by digital rights management (‘Secure Content’), Microsoft may provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be automatically downloaded onto your computer. These security related updates may disable your ability to copy and/or play Secure Content and use other software on your computer. If we provide such a security update, we will use reasonable efforts to post notices on a web site explaining the update.”
Not so comforting, coming from a company that accidentaly distributed virus-infected software recently.

My friend David sent me an article on why Perl is Internet Yiddish. It’s not all tech-y until the end — worth reading for a commentary on the evolution of Yiddish.
