Very cool article about John Mighton, poet, playwright, mathematician.

Well, they finally shoved Netscape 6 out the door. Here's hoping it doesn't take too long for the 6.1 release merging all the outstanding bugfixes already available with the mozilla nightlies.

Ah, Texas:


"They keep talking about Santa Claus being down in the North Pole." he said. "Some people say it's not true. I got to where I do believe there's a Santa Claus."

Mmmm, gratuitious Canadian Bashing:


Where does Toronto native Morley Safer get off beating up the Republican and Democratic party chairmen for
