Pictures From Space

Some high school students in Boston have taken a picture of the space station from a telescope here on Earth. Usually shots like these are so distorted that one cannot discern anything, but this picture is great!

History of Mistakes in Iraq

I appreciate the irony of a thin Al Gore harassing GHWB about inaction with respect to Iraq and its notorious dictator:

I'm amazed that in the era of Gotcha! politics this had not been hashed over before.

Not that anyone cares about the anti-Iraq statements of any Democrat before the vote authorizing military action in accordance with continuous UN resolutions against that rogue state.

Safari for Windows

I downloaded and played with Apple Safari, yet another web browser, to see what Mac lovers liked about it. Within minutes I saw that people had found security problems with it so I'm not going to surf all over the place with it, but I did notice it brought decent font rendering to Windows 2000 where ClearType is not available. It's still in beta and has security holes galore, so I won't recommend it, but perhaps when the beta is over it will be nice.
