Google Smackdown Update : May 31, 2002 : Note 2

<vanity> The number of sites my name shows up in has more than tripled since the last time I checked.  Here are some more results: • Bill Gates (795,000) • John Lennon (318,000) • Steve Jobs (201,000)…

France loses World Cup opener! : May 31, 2002 : Note 0

Ha!!  Arrogant France have lost the World Cup opening game to Senegal 1-0.  Three cheers for Papa Bouba Diop who scored the games only goal for Senegal.  France spat and sputtered about the goal, but it was legit.  If they lose one more, they’re outta there!!  Good riddance too.

Ah… nothing like a relaxing day at the zoo with your family, huh? via: Triptych Cryptic

More idiotic ideas from Florida : May 30, 2002 : Note 0

This has got to be one of the most IDIOTIC ideas I’ve ever heard of.  In West Palm Beach, Florida (what’s with Florida and controversial topics?), they’ve adopted a new grading scale on their final exam.  It’s a 100 question MULTIPLE-CHOICE test, and in order to pass, you…

Almost a suicide bomber : May 30, 2002 : Note 0

I applaud this young Palestinian woman for her bravery and wisdom.  Instead of bowing to the demands of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, she did some soul searching and opted out of doing a suicide bombing. Her explanation of why she didn’t do it is very interesting and shows…

Memorial Day : May 27, 2002 : Note 0

I’d like to take a moment and remember all the veterans and their fallen friends on this Memorial Day.  Your sacrifices over the years have kept us safe, protected our freedoms and made life as it is in the US possible.  Thank you. It’s sad that it took an event…

TiVo troubles : May 27, 2002 : Note 0

I seem to remember TiVo’s ad campaign about TV your way.  As in if you had TiVo, TV would be what YOU wanted it to be.  Well, it now seems like TiVo was just kidding.  In England, on Wednesday night last week, a BBC show was broadcast on TiVo and…

Mantis Design : May 27, 2002 : Note 0

I updated my business site this evening.  It looks cleaner and is more organized. The other day, I wrote to a design professor in Denmark and asked him to check out my site and give me some pointers.  He wrote me back, to my surprise, and gave me…

Europe and US Relations : May 26, 2002 : Note 0

It’s obvious to anyone paying attention to the news that Euro-US relations are strained.  Some of the actions of the Bush administration have made them uneasy or angry.  CNN has an article related to this.  And for other perspectives, check out this column on USS Clueless,…

Islamic freedoms? : May 26, 2002 : Note 1

Here’s a great example of the “freedoms” that Islam allows for its followers. According to the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, any Islamic newspapers who even suggest talking with the US about terrorism are considered “weaklings…who do not know the first things about diplomacy and national pride.”  And if that’s…
