> John VanDyk: Brent Simmons is leaving Userland. Brent has been a tremendous help to me personally and to many Frontier developers I know. I started working with Brent in 1995 as a beta tester for his software company, Worldwide Power & Light (which I always thought was a really cool name).

> Leander Kahney: It's common for geeks to post pictures of computer hardware being disassembled. Apple's new iMac, heating up a kind of technolust, has spawned several websites of photo essays that show them being unpacked and set up.
[Wired News] Do PC users do this? How about Sun users? SGI? Anyone else? Steve Jobs groks technolust.   6:15:02 AM  Link    
> Mike Donellan pointed out that my age is now equivalent to the sum of three squared and three cubed:
32 + 33 = 9 + 27 = 36
On Wednesday I was reading page 327 of The Code Book, which as an example to show the power of quantum computing, describes the problem of finding a number whose square and cube together use all of the digits from 0 to 9 once and only once, e.g. 3 only uses three digits {2,7,9}. Does anyone (besides Mike ;-)) know the answer? I'll post the solution tomorrow.

> Koleen Brooks is the only Mayor, of which I am aware, that has a weblog. Are there any others? She could use some help with her site and we could use a lot more elected officials with weblogs. Imagine if the president had a weblog!

> Oliver Willis: Blogs are now real. If there was any doubt about the viability of one to many web enabled conversation, lay them to rest with the rise of Shatner BBS. Yes, THAT Shatner.

> Farhad Manjoo: The Catholic Church gives its blessings to the Internet, saying it’s a 'marvelous technological tool.' But it also says that the 'ideology of radical libertarianism is both mistaken and harmful.'
