Photos from Anza Borrego and San Francisco are up.

Neo-conservatives Lame site disign, but legit information. Go here if you want to see the PNAC’s page. Lot of people with their names on it: Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, etc.

New tax law omits child credit for low income families.

This is seriously disturbing. Wired has the scoop.

What national security experts and civil libertarians want to know is, why would the Defense Department want to do such a thing?

This gigantic amalgamation of personal information could then be used to “trace the ‘threads’ of an individual’s life,” to see exactly how a relationship or events developed, according to a briefing from the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency, LifeLog’s sponsor.

Interesting: Iraq May Break With OPEC. This would lead to a flood of cheap oil on the market, something the US would love. Personally, I wish gas prices were higher to encourage alternatives. It does not make sense to design our lives around cars.

I stumbled on this guy’s paintings – I love them.

Physicists have concluded that space is infinite and that, therefore, there are an infinite number of other universes out there identical to ours – “In infinite space, even the most unlikely events must take place somewhere. There are infinitely many other inhabited planets, including not just one but infinitely many that have people with the same appearance, name and memories as you, who play out every possible permutation of your life choices.”

This conversation just screams geeks:
[10:31] danno_sm: nelly, you finish that coffee table yet?
[10:31] Chiefwagonburner: didn’t finish my table yet, need to find some decent paint or stain for it
[10:31] danno_sm: that and my birch bark canoe
[10:32] Chiefwagonburner: haha
[10:32] danno_sm: listen, I’ve been more then generous on the canoe schedule but I still haven’t seen any movement
[10:33] danno_sm: I think we need to have a new planning meeting to go over goals and deliverables

[10:34] danno_sm: oh,.. the birch SDK was rev’d to 1.4.1?
[10:34] Chiefwagonburner: the old version didn’t work with SapGlue5.2
[10:36] danno_sm: how about scalp_the_lazy_bastard0.1.1 if he doesn’t get moving on it?
[10:37] Chiefwagonburner: Microsoft bought them out, its now “Clippy’s on a Warpath XP”. It crashes all the time.
[10:38] danno_sm: time to call canoe_builder.action(&boot_in_d_ass)
[10:40] Chiefwagonburner: Error 101: Process uses an Automation type not supported.
[10:40] danno_sm: I’m subclassing the boot in the ass
