The craft, built by aviation pioneer Burt Rutan, went over
space’s 100km (62 mile) boundary, said mission control. It was
carried to 50,000ft (15km) by its launcher White Knight at which point
it was unleashed. It fired its rockets to continue its trip.”

Interesting.
...Google has embarked on an ambitious secret effort known
as Project Ocean, according to a person involved with the operation.
With the cooperation of Stanford University, the company now plans to
digitize the entire collection of the vast Stanford Library published
before 1923, which is no longer limited by copyright restrictions. The
project could add millions of digitized books that would be available
exclusively via Google.

03/06/2004 01:58 AMPersonally, I don't think the government should be involved in
marriage in any way. I believe that marriage is between two people who
love each other who wish to make a commitment to stay together through
good times and bad. I suppose that it can also be between those people
and whatever god they choose to worship, but even then . . . wouldn't
it be stupid for the government to tell couples which god can bless
their marriage? And who cares what sex they are?
An interesting thing has happened since San Francisco started granting
marriage licenses to same-sex couples: my marriage is just fine!
That's right. Even though there are thousands of gay and lesbian
couples affirming their love for each other, my marriage -- my
affirmation of love and commitment to Anne -- isn't threatened at all.
As a matter of fact, the only people who can really "threaten" my
marriage are . . . well . . . the two of us.
And this brings me to the first thing that's so profoundly upsetting
about this entire issue: it's not about marriage, it's not about love,
it's not about family, it's not about commitment. It's about hating
homosexuals. It's about treating homosexuals as if they are
second-class citizens. It's about dividing this country into those who
support discrimination, and those who don't. It's about Karl Rove
updating The Southern Strategy.

Pimp,
Day 112, East St. Louis, Illinois.
This month's issue of LFI has a breathtaking collection of photos by
Aaron Huey who walked 3349
miles from Encinitas, California to Coney Island, New York with his
dog Cosmo and a Leica M6. I've seen quite a few collections of
photographs attempting to paint a cohesive portrait of America and I'm
prepared to say that if the whole collection are as good as the teaser
in LFI, Am
erican Ocean blows the rest of them away.
Huey was only 25 when he got sponsored by Kodak and Leica to do this
trip. Given that he apprenticed with a National Geographic
photographer prior to this project, my more cynical side suspected
that he was just a kid with all the right connections and a bit of
talent. However, when I started reading the journals he
kept while he was on the road it quickly became clear that he's no
poseur. Take some time and read them as he has a particular gift for
telling the story that he went in search of for 154 days. Anyone who
can walk through East St. Louis at any hour of the day isn't just
doing this to make a name for himself.
East St. Louis is where you go after 3am to get booze at the
drive-thru liquor store where the cashier takes your money with one
hand while holding a gun at you with the other hand. The city is so
poor and bankrupt that they didn't have garbage collection for at
least 5 years. Dead bodies from St. Louis regularly turn up under the
highway overpasses. The danger is the same for people of all colours,
too. East St. Louis is a place to be avoided in a car and definitely
not walked through. I particularly enjoy his astute observation of how
close abject poverty and the suburban middle-class are to each other
and the jarring reality it creates for those who notice. If Huey could
not only walk through unscathed, but make friends and photograph some
of them then he is a truly gifted storyteller with his camera and pen.
Day 111 NW St. Louis to South St.Louis
The rest of the day is a series of wrong turns. I walk through a
wasteland. 2 hours of abandoned buildings. Empty streets. Where are
all the people. Pockets of very rich. Pockets of very poor. Large
blocks of deserted buildings. Strange city. Where are the people? Walk
under the famous arch. It had to be done, it is the gateway to the
East. So an official beginning for the final push. A looooong final
push. Walk along the river. It is flooding from a week of rain. Down
by the rail yards I walk 2 miles of world class grafitti, 20 feet high
and 2 miles long. The most impressive thing I have seen in St.Louis.
Worth staying the extra day for this alone. It is a better gallery
than any museum here.
I've driven coast-to-coast a dozen or so times and I've driven the
length of route 66. You can't get the idea of how vast the US is from
an airplane. America isn't the place that is portrayed in the movies
no matter how seductive the fantasy. America is a gigantic place in
great need of a storyteller like Huey. Apparently no publisher has
picked up his book which I find hard to believe since it's just
amazing work. I really want to see this collection along with
the stories in a finished, bound book.

OCEAN - Open
Computation Exchange & Auctioning (or Arbitration) NetworkOCEAN - Open Computation Exchange & Auctioning (or
Arbitration) Network Projecthttp://www.cise.ufl.edu
/research/ocean/OCEAN (Open Computation Exchange &
Auctioning (or Arbitration) Network) is a major ongoing project at the
University of Florida's CISE department to develop a fully
functional infrastructure supporting the automated, commercial buying
and selling of dynamic distributed computing resources over the
internet. The idea is that anyone with spare cycles should be able to
deploy an OCEAN server which can run other people's computing tasks
for profit, and any developer should be able to easily write a
distributed application which any user with a credit card number (or
other means of automatic payment) should be able to deploy in
distributed fashion using as many suitable OCEAN servers as they can
afford to rent for their particular purpose. OCEAN will likely use a
distributed, peer-to-peer double-auction mechanism to ensure that jobs
are automatically contracted out to the cheapest suitable available
bidders, and that OCEAN servers automatically contract themselves out
to run the highest-paying available jobs. The OCEAN project had its
roots at M.I.T. with a group of
MIT
and former
Stanford students,
led by
Mike Frank. This

Mel Gibson
Forgives Us for His Sins.
The vilification of Jews by Mr.
Gibson, his film and some of his allies, unchallenged by his media
enablers, is not happening in a vacuum. We are in the midst of an
escalating election-year culture war in which those of "faith" are
demonizing so-called "secularists" (for which read any Jews critical
of Mr. Gibson and their fellow travelers, liberals). Politicians, we
are learning, seem increasingly eager to wrap themselves in "The
Passion of the Christ" as a handy signal to indicate they are opposed
to all those "secularists" whose conspiracy is undermining all that
right-thinking Americans hold near and dear.Mysteries of the Ocean Deepen

but I'm not a complete duffer - so anyone who enjoys a nice walk on a
big manicured lawn along with some interesting conversation, send an

married"?...

When we decided to move to Finland one of the agreed upon features
was that each year, budget permitting, we would take a Winter holiday
somewhere the sun makes more of an appearance than glow occasionally
on the horizon on the rare day that it's not cloudy. People always ask
about the cold but the cold isn't the hard part of living in
Scandinavia in the Winter, it's the darkness. November was a really
hard month as the darkness really settles into your
brain.
It's that time of year to go on holiday and I'm looking forward
to reacting like a Sleestack to the evil, unfamiliar daystar and
getting to know the cocktail boy poolside for a luxurious 7 days in
Madeira. I'm going to also enjoy 7 days of internet-free living while
hiking and taking pictures. It may be hard getting on the plane for
the return trip. :)
