Originally from 2002, I rewrote parts of this post a couple of weeks ago.

Wired News: Digg Fights Top Users For Control – Some of the generals in Digg.com’s army of volunteer news readers are in revolt over new abuse controls that could undermine their influence on the site.

It’s stuff like this, that I think about during my drive and walk to the office.

MAKE: Blog: DIY Refrigerator workbench

Awesome! Use an old fridge as a workbench. Love it! Recycle when you can.

Microsoft Office for Linux ‘inevitable’ – vnunet.com

Doubt it.

Let me say it again, I highly doubt this will happen. They’re barely supporting Apple and their marketshare on the desktop is more than double that of Linux.

Comment #4 is dead on….

Let’s see, Roosevelt rolled up Hitler’s Industrial Germany, Mussolini’s Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan in less time than Bush has taken to hamstring the US military in Afghanistan with a group of religious zealots living in caves and in Iraq with a “handfull of dead-enders”.
