“If the wars of the twentieth century had killed the same proportion of the population that die in the wars of a typical tribal society, there would have been two billion deaths, not 100 million.”

WebRunner

Linux.com :: Mozilla begets WebRunner, a site-specific browser:
Nowadays, people are turning to Web-based applications as replacements for desktop applications. Web-based office suites, mail clients, multimedia apps, and general productivity tools are all extremely useful now, but standard Web browsers aren’t always the best option for running applications. To provide a more suitable tool for Web-based apps, Mozilla Platform Evangelist Mark Finkle has been working on WebRunner, a site-specific browser (SSB) that’s designed to work exclusively with one application at a time. It’s not finished yet, but it’s already showing promise.
Blackboard, Inc. Are you reading? 
This could be the magic bullet you need for a fully functional section archive outside of the true Vista application!

Anyone else looking forward to the new Flash Gordon (Aug 2007) series on SciFi?
The mini-series Tin Man (Dec 2007) looks like it could be interesting as well.

The boy’s face says to me pure joy.
Took this a while ago, but I forgot it was still on the data card. I found it while pulling off pictures of the board from the meeting this morning.

Hate mosquitoes? You should move along. There are amazingly clear pictures under the link.
Mosquito sucking my blood (macros)!: Digital Photography Review:
I noticed the mozzies were out this evening so got my FZ50 ready with raynox 250 attached and sat down on the porch. Took only a minute and the first one landed on my finger and dug in…
The details of these photographs are astounding.
Thanks, Joe!

NPR : Bosses Do Not Always Make Best Online Pals:
The era of social networking Web sites makes it a lot easier to cross the line into friendship with superiors. Lucy Kellaway, a Financial Times columnist, describes the problems with befriending the boss in the real world and online. Kellaway spoke with Renee Montagne.
Really… I have two former bosses on my lists of friends. Maybe if I posted pictures of myself intoxicated or nude, then I’d have something to fear. Such that it is…. I’m a way too much on the boring side.
