astronaut, Pedro Duque writes "I am writing these notes in
the Soyuz with a cheap ballpoint pen. Why is that important? As it
happens, I've been working in space programmes for seventeen years,
eleven of these as an astronaut, and I've always believed, because
that is what I've always been told, that normal ballpoint pens don't
work in space... and here I am, it doesn't stop working and it doesn't
'spit' or anything. Sometimes being too cautious keeps you from
trying, and therefore things are built more complex than
necessary." From
Snopes:
Fisher spent over one million dollars in trying to perfect the ball
point pen before he made his first successful
pressurized
pens in 1965, which NASA uses.

Mizuka just asked me if I had heard about some guy who was busted
for making tons of money trading stocks who claims to be a
time-traveler. The story was that he would show them the time-machine
if they let him go. She said her Japanese friends were talking about
it. I laughed and checked Google News with an assortment of keywords
with no results. I wandered over to #joiito
. Soon enough nichlas came up with a link to
a WWN article from March, 2003 about the story. Just as I was
wondering if this was something to blog about, KevinMarks page-slapped
us with the snopes.com entry
from April 2003 debunking the story.
I would really love to see the path that this silly story took over
the last 1 1/2 years to get from WWN to me via the Japanese girls
gossip network.

utility services such as Internet connection sharing, firewalling, or
wireless access points. The goal of the Coyote project is to make it

"10 Common Problems that Dismiss You as
an Amateur" Writer
"10 Common Problems that Dismiss You as
an Amateur" Writer
01/22/2004 03:14 AMAre you a writer? Or maybe an aspiring writer? Maybe just a
blogger that enjoys writing in your spare time? (That last one is me.)
Do you have to write for work? Maybe you're not going to ever be a
novelist, but if you write for any reason and you have to persuade
people with the written word, then you have to read
this article:
Ten
Mistakes Writers Don't See (But Can Easily Fix When They Do)
- Repeats
- Flat Writing
- Empty
Adverbs
- Phony Dialogue
- No-good suffixed
- The
'to-be' words
- Lists
- Show, Don't tell
- Awkward Phrasing
- Commas
The point to the List above is that even the best writers make
these mistakes, but you can't afford to. The way manuscripts are
thrown into the rejection pile on the basis of early mistakes is a
crime. Don't be a victim.
You won't be sorry if you do. Your readers might be sorry if you
don't.
Think Secret lawyer will seek to dismiss
lawsuit
Think Secret lawyer will seek to dismiss
lawsuit
02/05/2005 10:11 PMThe lawyer defending the publisher of Think Secret, who is being sued
by Apple Computer, said he will seek to dismiss the case within two
weeks.
Attorney Terry Gross, a lawyer prominent in free-speech and Internet
issues, said he will seek the dismissal based on the First Amendment.
"Supreme Court law is pretty clear," said Gross in an article by Tech
Web today. "Journalists can't be prohibited from publishing material
if it's lawfully obtained. Apple is just trying to intimidate this
college kid."
Ciarelli, who is also an editor at Harvard's student newspaper,
operates the website www.thinksecret.com, which tracks Apple's
activities. He incurred Apple's wrath by reporting on the firm's
products before Apple announced them formally. On the site, Ciarelli
calls himself Nick dePlume.
In its suit against Think Secret, Apple complains that the site
"solicited information about unreleased products from . . .
individuals who violated their confidentiality agreements with Apple
by providing details that were later posted on the Internet."
