fundamentalism in any form terrifies me. maybe not as much as plagues or supervolcanoes, but close.
-
i’m seeing more such convergence these days, but Amanda’s right: this mashup would be compelling, like Housingmaps taken one step further
-
see his apology and acceptance of responsibility on page 4, in particular. good to see someone owning up to the damage he’s caused via steroids and PEDs.

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting a nicer/newer camera, just be aware that you aren’t going to turn into Ansel Adams when it arrives.” – i am living proof of this unfortunate truth
-
“Airport security lines can annoy passengers, but there is no evidence that they make flying any safer, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.” – i’m not exactly shocked at this news. it’s security theater, nothing more, to assuage the easily impressed
-
“The IBM acquisition may be seen as a setback for MySQL, since it marks the loss of independence of another company that makes a high-performance transaction engine for MySQL’s database.” – eh, we’ll see. need to talk to IBM and MySQL about this one.
