Nominations for Photobloggie Awards Close Jan 26, 2003 "The First PhotoBloggies" [Daypop Top 40] Who is eligible? For these awards, a "photoblog" is a webpage with dated entries that has a posts images to their site. Sites that post images infrequently are also eligible, but due to the nature of the awards, they will be at a disadvantage since there are many photo bloggers that post images on a regular if not daily basis. Only sites that post their own original images are eligible to be nominated. Only sites that have existed during the year 2002 are eligible for the awards. Any sites that have been dicontinued are also eligible, but not photoblogs that have started this year, 2003. 11:31:45 PM    Comment [] Whooo Hoooo! Hams in the Hinternet! GOOOO Hams! Hams build Hinternet: Amateur radio operators (hams) are using a Part 97 variation on 802.11b to build the Hinternet, or a ham-oriented licensed band network. Hams operate under Part 97, which allows higher-powered and priority uses of parts of the 2.4 GHz band. Conflicts could arise, but it also opens up the potential for Wi-Fi fans to become hams as well in a boon for free community networks. Part 97 can't be used commercially, is my understanding, where Part 15 doesn't have that precise restriction.

Even if the exercise of my power becomes my burden, I will bear it. ... I sought this office, and even in my final days of holding it, I can't shrink from the obligations to justice and fairness that it demands. ... I'm going to sleep well tonight knowing I made the right decision. -Illinois Governor George Ryan announcing blanket commutation for all Illinois Death Row inmates. For the first time in a very long time, I'm proud of the state (Illinois) I live in. I'm proud, not because of some fleeting sports championship, or some other silly thing, but because of the moral courage of its elected leader, Gov. George Ryan. In the last forty-eight hours, Ryan (R-Kankakee) took the unprecedented steps of pardoning four death row inmates, and granting a blanket clemency to the remaining 164 inmates sentenced to death.
