The $100 PC may be on its way, according to the Red Herring It will run on Linux, use AMD chips and have a 14" screen. Too bad I can't get one :(

This is almost as low brow as it gets: http://www.turdwords.com/ Thank Family Guy . Peter (dressed as a prostitute) offered a " Cleveland Steamer ." ew.

This article shows what life is like in the US right now. The quick summary: reporter goes to film Walmart opening in Lovejoy, Georgia. Police detain her in keeping with the US PATRIOT Act because a friend does plastic armor to Star Wars costumes.

Vaacummed up the house. Wow: was it was a mass of filth that sucked in and held that recurrent cat-litter and crotch cheese ambiance. I could work for months to get this place liveable. The good news: people I know have far worse places. At one place, this couple had old chocolate cake and cups piled in amongst books and gaming debris-- I think they had a birthday in the Fall. Another guy (who moved into the place with a series of grocery carts) looked like a bombed out cellar. His place now looks like a game store/clothing store/computer store where somebody beamed out all of the shelves, fixtures and racks, leaving the stuff to fall in disheveled clumps. Strangely enough, these people all have smokin' and pristine computers. Come to think of this, this secondhand P400 laptop feels real good.

On the heels of "Common People" comes " You'll Have Time ". Go William Shatner. You're my hero.

Operation Oldtimer: Because so many elderly and disabled were being beat up in downtown Vancouver, Vancouver Police set up a sting operation to catch the pieces of crap who were beating up the weak. This is the reason why people shouldn't go soft on drug users. They are society's disease. Nobody cuddles a tumor and nobody should give drug addicts a walk. While downtown Vancouver was the subject of this police operation, Victoria too has its share of scumbags.
