Surprise, surprise, surprise Accusations of Abuse in Report on USA Patriot Act. An internal report has identified dozens of cases in which Justice Department employees have been accused of violating enforcement of the USA Patriot Act. By Philip Shenon.

Apollo 11 landed today in 1969. At least that's what my calendar of notable events says. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon a few hours later. I watched that live on television in a dorm at UC Santa Barbara. Thirty-four years ago. Good grief, some of you reading this weren't even alive then. I also let pass the date July16 without mention: that's the anniversary of the Trinity atomic bomb test in 1945. Fifty eight years ago. And we still haven't learned to put the genie back in the bottle. 5:04:29 PM    Questions? Comments? Flames? []

Welcome to California, Micah! Micah Alpern, who led the blogger SIG at CHI2003, has landed a gig at eBay. He starts Monday. Welcome to California, Micah, hope to see you around, maybe BayCHI, who knows. Except I'll be on vacation during the next BayCHI meeting, but don't let that keep you away. 4:54:42 PM    Questions?
