28. October, 2002 - Angels win
- I've started putting Dave's 2002 Vacation online. I've got the Heading to Winnipeg, Full Day in Winnipeg, and I thought I was getting onto a train pages done so far, which surprisingly enough, cover the time I spent in Winnipeg.
- In Wellstone conspiracy theories Indymedia implies the untimely death of Senator Wellstone and the others in the plane may not have been an accident. If so, are they implying (ala Oliver Stone re JFK) that the Senator was assassinated by the Military Industrial Complex? Even the AP newswire wants to stir this pot. [Reed, via Instapundit]
- Last Friday at the bar, we got talking politics. One of the bartenders, who'd previously assumed I was a liberal was shocked that I wasn't planning on voting for Paul Wellstone in the upcoming election. When asked about it, I didn't have the best explanation at the tip of my brain, but Why Did it Have to be ... Guns? explains it pretty well.
- Today's Bleat eulogizes Paul Wellstone pretty well and points out that the Green candidate would probably be a better fit to
carry on Wellstone's ideals
than Walter Mondale. [lileks]
- A subtle realignment this fall in the nation's inscrutable tangle of phone systems could make Calling Cell Phones Could Cost More. Some informed commentary makes things a bit more clear. It's surprising, but almost nobody even wonders why I'm thinking of giving up my landline entirely as soon as I can get a good alternative to DSL. Phone companies suck.
- Trying -- carefully -- to learn the risk of chronic wasting disease at the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center. If it turns out that it does spread to humans, these will probably be the people to find that out. [strib]
- When the Spam Hits the Blogs in the referrer list. Well, I'll just add a little code to filter them out (or shut the list off), but what will other people do? [flutterby]
- Oh, and Anaheim wins first World Series crown. It was a pretty good game that I couldn't watch at home because someone dorked up the cable and all the broadcast stations have ghosts. Boo! So I sat at the bar, watching the game pretty much by myself.
