GIGO: words unreadable aloud

PXSL, Scala Android, Giant Rat of Sumatra

Cool stuff this week:

Tom Moertel's PXSL, a Parsimonious XML Shorthand Language, which I'd love to look more deeply into, later. I think I posted something on Pyscerocha about the various XML shorthands, or alternate syntaxes, that people have come up with to ease the pain of using XML directly.
Scala Android — my first thought upon hearing of Android was how long before I could play with it in Scala?
Silliness: The Firesign Theatre had a 1974 album called "The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra". This week, it appears that the animal has been discovered. Well it was on New Guinea, actually, but who can tell the difference from here?
