Another cool Google project

Digitizing libraries and making them available for search.

For all you Mac lovers out there…

Large version (~50 MB on a slooow server)

Small version (This one is a lot faster. Can’t see the video that well, but the humor is in the audio anyway.)

I’m sick

Taking a break from blogging today (and yesterday, obviously). I still need to finish porting all my plugins to WP 1.5 too, but it can wait.

Catwoman - “worst movie” honors & general comments on “comic book” movies

This started out as a reply to Dan’s article about this movie winning the “worst movie” awards, but it got a little long, so I decided to post it here for everyone to read.

Sound familiar?

“This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous,” he said during a press conference with European leaders. “Having said that, all options are on the table.” - Pres. Bush this week

Bush vowed the United States would continue to “consult with people who share our interest to make the world a safer place.” He also said his administration would “look at all options” on how to deal with Iraq, including “all technologies available to us and diplomacy and intelligence.” - Pres. Bush, 2002

Great letter from Jim Wallis

It’s an open letter response to a criticism from Chuck Colson. I encourage everyone to read it (the response), as I think he does a much better job of communicating some of the political positions that I’ve posted about on here before.

Another boring technical update that most people don’t care about

For those of you getting my RSS feeds, I’ve made a change to that, so that now only the RSS 2.0 regular feed and the comments feed are available (I took out the links to RSS .92 and ATOM). If your RSS reader is having difficulty, you may need to update the links.

Trackback and Pingback moderation

I’m also moderating all Trackbacks/Pingbacks due to spam, so don’t panic if you trackback me and it doesn’t show up right away.

Unread Comments Plugin

Still working on some layout issues, but….

I’ve added a new plugin that will track comments that you haven’t read yet. (See the list on the side). This works by tracking (via cookies in your browser) which comments you have seen so far, and giving you a list of the ones you haven’t. Since I just put this up, everyone will see a big list, since the cookies haven’t been set yet, but you can just mark them all “read” and then going forward, you will only see items in that list that are new to you.

Pretty cool, huh?
