Possum capital of the South. A bizarre tale of muskets, cross-dressing and marsupial hoisting in the Southern town once accused of hiding notorious fugitive Eric Rudolph. [Salon.com]

Web Ads Gone Awry: How many Lexus ads do I have to look at to read the story? If you click the link above with any hope of reading the story, think again. Salon will put you through Lexus Ad torture. Every time the page refreshes, I expect the article to be next, but no... just another Lexus Ad. Even the "Go directly to story" link brings another Lexus ES 300 Ad. I wonder if Salon is getting paid based on impressions? All I know is I hope I never see another Lexus ES 300 in my lifetime.  11:04:26 AM

O'Reilly Network: Why Use a Command Line Instead of Windows?. I've actually been asked this question a lot when proclaiming my enthusiasm for the new Mac OS and it's command line interface.

Not sure how I missed it when it was first posted back in November. [Radio Bump]  10:41:19 AM

LaunchBar for Mac OS X. I don't think I've mentioned this before, but if you are using Mac OS X, you must check this utility out. I've been using it for the last couple of months, and finally registered it today. It just makes things easy. (I think I initially discovered this software via Have Browser, Will Travel.)
