I heard on MPR this morning that one of the Marine Batallions in Fallujah found a briefcase containing several vials of Sarin Nerve Gas. W00t! I’m glad that they finally found some WMD’s. From my reckoning, this find alone gives creedence to the entire war, as that Sarin gas could have, if broadcast correctly, been used to kill tens of thousands of people.
Google announced today that they have now indexed 8 Billion web pages. That’s incredible. It’s amazing to think about what’s actually going on behind that unassumming text box and the “Google Search” button.
Last night I made my way down to the 400 Bar to see my brother’s band, Look Alive play. I hadn’t seen them play live since the spring, so I really enjoyed the show. The guys played really well, and I’m excited to get to see them a bit more frequently this fall (hopefully).
My friend Dave Williams just referred me to a project called Konfabulator. Check it out – it’s really sweet. It installs a bunch of widgets that you can place on your desktop for things like weather, web searching, calander, clocks, etc. It has full transparency built in, and it uses anti-aliased fonts, so the eye candy factor is farily high. They also have a “workshop” application that you can use to create your own custom widgets. There’s also the added plus of the application being completely cross-platform.
