A lot has happened in the other world since Friday. That would be the world outside of Florida. Maybe by sometime today, this area and this state will get back to feeling more like part of that world.

Why it's broke and how it can be fixed Comment Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions - Catch-22â¦

Tycho:  I don't know why I get my hopes up reading shit about "broken street dates" online, I'm perpetually disappointed by the results.  I got a game on the actual ship date five years ago, and it's made me into some kind of Goddamned optimist.  There are scattered reports that people have picked them up, and you may invest your time in this way if you are desperate, but I apologize for wasting your time.  (CW)TB

FIA boss Max Mosley says we should savour great overtaking moves. Well it might help if we see some of them! The Japanese GP was exhilarating and frustrating in equal measure.

Tycho:  It took three separate discs and two consoles to finally work out the Goddamn kinks, but we were able to play almost the entire Eternal Sonata demo.  Almost!  I wasn't aware people were still boiling discs, presumably in black iron cauldrons where carrots bob, but I don't want to live a life where boiling discs is normal.

By Cecily Burt  OAKLAND -- Too tall. Too modern. Doesn't belong in a historic district. Needs lots of work.   Those comments and more have apparently doomed a proposed 37- story, futuristic condominium project atop a historic garage on Alice Street near Lake Merritt.

RIVAL super maxis Konica Minolta and Skandia jousted across Bass Strait yesterday as thunderstorms and 35-knot headwinds slowed their pace and swelled the number of yachts to retire from the Sydney to Hobart to 30.

It's been a long year for PlayStation 3 owners with very little in the way of new, exclusive content. As good as they are, "MotorStorm" and "Resistance: Fall of Man" are wearing thin for me.

Here's a screen shot of the HTML source.  Looks like it's trying to serve some kind of ActiveX control. Happy to be using a Mac.  PS: Scoble just showed up and TM works on his cell phone so there's something weird going on.

Science & environment: The big high-street chains are falling over  themselves to 'go green'. But will any of it make  any difference? Mark Lynas is far from convinced.

I saw an ad in yesterday's NY Times that offered the complete New Yorker magazine archive, including all the cartoons and ads, going back to 1920-something for a bit more than the hard disk would cost. The ad was from J&R, the company that makes the product is Pexagon. $149. Sounds like there might be DRM. I asked for something like this from the music business. A hundred gigs of popular music for $500, all pre-installed on the disk without DRM.  Someone at the New Yorker had this idea too? It's a good one. Bulk content for collector types. Another source of revenue. I want to run my own personal radio station, so having every song of a certain genre or from a certain period makes the diff.
