101 Ways to Save the Internet: "What do do about spammers and Slammers, porn, pirates, con artists and movie execs? Kick back and read our 101 Ways to Save the Internet from the January issue of Wired. None of them involve mandatory digital IDs or UN oversight. Most involved way too much coffee." [Paul Boutin]

To keep Burningbird or not: "I've been debating [...] whether to keep the Burningbird weblog. I've splintered off so many interests into different weblogs, and the main reason I do so is there is there is an assumption that everything I write is somehow a 'flame' and what I write then becomes seen in this manner. I've become hesitant about even making comments in other weblogs because of this. Yes, I am a passionate writer, and yes, I can have a temper..." [Burningbird]

In June, 2003, I bought a Canon Digital IXUS 400 (a.k.a. PowerShot S400). So far I have taken 2042 photos and video clips with the camera. Thus on average I have taken over 10 photos each day. Of course, only a fraction of the photos were good. Currently I have 892 pictures in my iPhoto library.

During the last two days I took over 100 photos, of fireworks etc. Some were suprisingly good. First time ever I managed to capture fireworks.
