The Submarines are releasing a new album, Honeysuckle Weeks. If you like pop-folk-electronic you'll like this. I think you can d/l it already from iTunes if you like your music with the burning smell of DRM. Brooke introduced me to the group and since she was under 25 at the time you can trust her recommendation.
I love a good fixed width font. Microsoft released one with Office 2007 that I love. It is called Consolas & it's available for download.

My fall sailing trip in the Apostle Islands is now officially under way. I've got the boat reserved and now I just need to find the crew.
This is a book that is about right now. It plays out the tension and intersection of privacy versus safety in the after math of a terrorist incident in the SF Bay Area. The book will probably seem dated pretty quick since the technology and lingo are so current, but the story is still great. This book marks a turning point in Cory Doctorows writing. This book is a real turning point for the author, Cory Doctorow. Previous works like "Eastern Standard Tribe" or "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom", or even a novella I truly loved "When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth" were good reads but it wasn't something I would try and get friends who weren't sci-fi/cyberpunk fans to check out and read. This book changes all that - I know I'll probably mail my copy off to my nephew to read. If you are too cheap to get the book, the txt download will be posted soon I'm sure.
The week's "Ralph Nader Overcoat Award" is hereby awarded to Reverend Wright. I believe we haven't heard the last of you yet. Will you be the Billy Beer of the new millenium? It's too soon to know.
