I think it's hilarious that they chose someone named "Turtle" (Gerard Latortue) ('la tortue' is French for 'tortoise') to make some swift changes in Haiti's government.

Watched bits and pieces of the 35th NAACP Image Awards tonight. Interesting. Jared got some new portraits taken today:

Two more quirks with SharpReader: the filter bar isn't persistent (view it, then close, then reopen, and it's gone - I want it to stay, I use it all the time!), and the buttons are buggy in Win98 (buttons get red-X'ed out sometimes - doesn't happen in XP, however). Odd. Here's a cool chart on how news travels on the 'net.

I'm sorry, but Chris Rock is not that funny. EarthBrowser 2.0.1 is now available for Windows - woohoo! I like this program. Tried some Jennie-O Turkey Franks tonight, very tasty. Here's how to make a Starship Enterprise out of a floppy disc.  =)

I think it's awesome (literally) that this guy earned all 120 Boy Scout merit badges. This apparently has only ever been done a handful of times in the history of scouting.
