It had to overhappen 
Woe is U.S.
| | President Bush's options appear extremely limited, and there is little doubt that the United States will continue to decline as a decisive force in world affairs over the next decade. The real question is not whether U.S. hegemony is waning but whether the United States can devise a way to descend gracefully, with minimum damage to the world, and to itself. |
| | It's a political piece. I'm no hawk, but I can think of come-backs for most of the points the author makes. |
| | My concern is less with America's geopolitical strength, which is bound to fade in any case, long-term; but with what we're giving up in the name of Homeland Security. That's the shit that creeps me out. |
Gimme that wide band religion...
Quotrolling
| | I'm looking for some quotage from Linux/UNIX/BSD/command line types who have made the latest Titanim running OS X their alpha laptop. I know there are a bunch of ya'll out there. |
| | It's for a review that will run in an upcoming Linux Journal. |
| | Sooner the better. I'm writing it up right now. |
All clear?
The bigger bitbucket problem
Stay detuned
| | I've got a net problem here: 3Mb download speed, 2Kb upload. Nearly every blog post fails. So do some mail calls and plenty of browser commands. After going around with Cox since Midnight last night, they finally agreed to send somebody out: tomorrow. |
| | So it's gonna be a little slow around here for the next 24. Sorry about that. |
Wile E. Stuff
| | It's midnight and the coyotes are barking, very nearby. Like, next door. Earlier, looking up at the stars from the roof, we heard the bats chirping away. The kid could see them, but I couldn't. I'm glad my hearing is still good enough to catch any of what the little beasts are saying at all. |

The space between the two pale blue bars.
Your blog has this framing affect - when you DON'T post too many items. It nicely creates a top and bottom border effect - giving the reader a sense of encapsulation and completeness.
Of course - once you start blogging again - that'll all be ruined.

Doc:
A couple things: I emailed you regarding the CARP question for non registered artists. Don't know if you received it. However the deal is, if the artist isn't registered it makes no difference because Sound Exchange (SE) is the registered agent the LOC Copyright Office recoginizes them. The LOC will pay SE and then it is SE's responsibility to seek out and find the artist to pay them.
Now you see the pay off. SE pretends to look for the artists, banks the money, pleads they can't find the artist-- all the while they are collecting some type of interest and fees. Pretty cute huh?
Oh as for your Cox Problem-- I blogged about what I'm doing over here. http://radio.weblogs.com/0100243/2002/07/06.html#a402
Enjoy Wylie and Company. We have a new litter of coyote pups in the neighborhood. Last week when we had the full moon-- they were all up on the hill over the house learning to howl as a chorus. A little off key-- but a chorus never-the-less.
