No need to contact MT, they know about it already. I found it on Anil’s site.
Please discuss among yourselves…
Well, lookie there. Pixelog was mentioned in a lecture at the University of Toronto. I wonder how they found me? And I’m really curious to know what was said. I’ll have to remember to send an e-mail this weekend when I have a chance to ask. There are some other interesting sites listed worth checking out.
51 Democrats that are members of the Texas House of Representatives are still on the run, hiding from the Texas Rangers. Pick up a set of the Most Wanted playing cards and then watch for them in your neighborhood. You never know, your town could be next! [via EJ]
In case you’re wondering, I’m not on the run with the Killer D’s – I have been slammed at work all week and last night I was out on the town with the fabulous H-Town Bloggers! Tonight? Tons of things I want to write about, but my cable modem (or my router) was acting up so I was offline. Again. Ugh. Oh well. More on the saga of my life later.
Basically, the latest press on the iLoo concept can be summed up like this:
“Ok, ok, the iLoo wasn’t a hoax after all, we just said it was one. Then we realized that while this plan worked to get you to stop laughing at us for inventing the iLoo in the first place, now you were laughing at us for claiming that it was an April Fool’s Day joke, just a month late. Crap, that backfired too. Still being laughed at by everyone. The truth is, we really have no clue what is going on, but it was a crappy idea so we pulled it from the market.”
Good idea, Microsoft! [via Mike]
By the way, one of my pet peeves is when you ask someone a question and they answer by saying, “Do you want me to tell you the truth?” No! No! Lie to me! I love it when you lie to me! Of course I want the truth – that’s why I asked the question! Don’t you just hate that question?
Molly Ivins says it very well about the “Killer Ds” and the Texas Legislature:
Believe me, stopping the legislature from functioning at this point is high public service.
The choices on how to spend money couldn’t possibly make Republican “values” any clearer. We can spend money on corporate welfare, but not on people’s welfare. We can’t cover health insurance for our teachers, but we must have brush control.
The creepy thing about the far-right Republicans, who are definitely in the majority in the House, is not that they are dismantling government because they won’t raise taxes, they’re dismantling government because they think it shouldn’t help people.

Let me be perfectly clear – I don’t think everyone deserves a hand out. I do believe some people deserve a hand up. Taking away health insurance from 250,000 children and medicine from the mentally ill among a long list of other things just seems wrong.
