From the Speedier-Browsing? Dept: Teen's Browser Wows Top Geeks [Wired] It'll be interesting to see if this browser passes the test of time. |

From the J.R.R Barry Dept: Dave Barry's Simplified Lord Of The Rings (Two Towers) Screenplay [Eric's Weblog] Most excellent. |
|
From the About-This-Site Dept: Maybe I should re-title this site "The Late Late News" or something like that, since I tend to make all my posts after 11PM (EST). Anyway, here we go... |

From the Very-Public-Private-Emotions Dept: One Girl: Still Grieving [One Girl's Life] Robin talks about the pain she feels after losing her mom. A touching post - a very private emotion (grief) exposed on a very public stage (the Internet). In that way, blogs are funny. You are, in theory, posting to the world. In practice, however, unless you're a famous blogger, what you write will only be read by some of your friends and colleagues, with the occasional passerby thrown in. That contrast is very interesting: a public and private journal, at the same time, with the same journal. Interesting media indeed. |

From the Another-Way-To-Beat-The-Spammers Dept: Spam Filtering with gzip [kuro5hin.org] As the author says, this is a blunt way of doing this sort of filtering, without a lot of extra math. |
|
From the Better-Batteries Dept: A Better Path Class For Python [Michael Tsai's Blog] Oh sweet. A very neat class for us Python junkies. Nice comparisons between this way and the way built into Python - summary: this looks way easier. |
