Here’s a twist on Pong that makes for a nice (if frustrating) diversion.

My paranoia-babble translation skills are weak, but I think this article suggests that the miltary was responsible for the 8/14 blackout.

An article at Yahoo! News — Mars Emerging from Ice Age, Data Suggest — makes it clear that Martians have abused their environment! Their overuse of SUVs and coal-burning power plants is going to destroy thier planet.

(had to be done before reeder jumped on it.)

In this Washington Post article about Ted Koppel’s preparation for moderating the recent Democratic debate, I found the following very interesting:

>The ABC staff had dismissed the idea of asking the candidates to name favorite books or songs or movies, since they all had rehearsed answers by now. But on Saturday, stranded in New York by a major snowstorm, Halperin had read a transcript of a Houston mayoral debate in which the candidates had been asked what book about urban policy they would recommend.

and I thought of our friend Jenna, who was the moderator in a recent Houston mayoral debate. Care to tell us who asked that fateful question, J?

This is mainly a personal memo, blog as ‘To Do’ list, but I wanted to remind myself to do a little more RSS learning when I got home this evening.
