Despite my ongoing antipathy towards Google (having to compete with them for talent tends to bias my perspective), periodically I have to admit they do cool stuff. Like this.
Google has arranged to make available LIFE magazine's photo archive, online via image search. The collection spans over 10 million photos. And you can view them in large size instead of some crappy web reduction. Try it here or just enter

as part of a normal google image search.
The political spectrum - where are you?
I came across this test while surfing the net. It's a simple survey that plots where you fall politically onto a grid; in addition to the usual left-right axis they added a vertical authoritarian/libertarian axis.)
The results were predictable (in the sense that I scored exactly where I thought I would.)
It's disheartening to know that there really aren't any mainstream politicians who serve my particular leanings. It's lonely in Ayn Rand territory. Haha.
Try it out and see where you wind up!

Economic Left/Right: 6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.85

Your Call Cannot Be Completed As Dialed...
It finally happened. I canceled my home phone line.
The customer service representative gamely tried to upsell me on a bundled internet service. The gall! But the fact is, I had stopped making or receiving calls on my home line. In terms of usage I had switched over to my mobile long ago. A lot of my friends have done the same already.
Fare thee well, ebony northern telecom rotary! Godspeed, 416 204 9357! May you go to someone who cherishes your dial-tone.
Now I have to decide what to do with the savings. Skateboard apparatus? Subscription to the Economist? Upgrade to an iPhone? Suggestions welcome...
Why is Dolly Parton against use of white space spectrum?
Are wireless microphones so important to Dollywood? Thank goodness the FCC made the right decision and allowed unlicensed usage of the spectrum. Let a thousand flowers bloom!
