9. December, 2003 - mixed bag
- I’d probably have more links or more coherent commentary about them, but I’ve had two problems this morning. First was that my network connection fell down for about 15 minutes this morning as I was trying to put the daily update together. Second is that today’s weather is snow, and I’m going to have to drive to the suburbs in it, so I’m hurrying to get this posted so I have a chance of getting to a meeting in time. Ugh. Update: What’s normally a 20-30 minute drive only took 75 minutes. Woo?
- New housing group opposes inspection sweeps in Como area, and is at odds with the official neighborhood association for Como. Good thing I’m not planning on signing up for anything just yet. I’ve been through this once with MHNA and it looks like there’s the potential for just as many headaches in SECIA.
- Rep. Janklow resigns after he’s convicted on all the counts against him — manslaughter, reckless driving, running a stop sign and speeding. For a law and order kind of guy, he didn’t show much respect for the law himself. Sentencing will be in January after the judge has had a chance to look at Janklow’s driving record. [press-patch]
- Home buyers get free wheels to seal the deal. Yep, buy a house, and get a free car. Of course it’s a half a million dollar house that they’re selling for $535k, and a $35k car. Oh, and it’s in Detroit. Perhaps not this time. [fark!]
- A scientist at UC Irvine says
We can implant entirely false memories
, and then does it to Alan Alda on Scientific American Frontiers. Seems plausible. [fark!]
