I just need to say it. My sister is now famous. Not only is she the reigning Ms. Wheelchair Nebraska, but she is an Olympic torch runner this year! She's been on two radio programs this week and on two different t.v. news programs. Sis, I hope the fame doesn't go to your head! {grin} The Torch run is tomorrow and I get to see it!

Yesterday was just one of those "great" days. One of those you can't describe what made it so great, but it just was. I found a pretty decent at work web radio station that made me feel really cool, as it was from London. I've linked to it below.. I made progress on a lot of stuff I had put on the back burner. It was just good.

I finally got my article off to Jason at Theme of Absence on Sunday. If you want to read it, just go here. Let me know what you think.

I don't post for a couple days and my backlog of links grows like crazy... Here they are:

• Toon Marooned - Looney Tunes meets Survivor. {from Ana}
  
• Digibles - Digital trading cards. Interesting, but I'd like to see more before I invest in them.
  
• JazzFM - A really cool jazz web radio station. Based out of England it just seems to add that much more to the broadcasts to hear those English accents.
  
• How Bush's shallowness makes him a good war president. - How Junior's peacetime weaknesses make him a better president in these trying days. Interesting take - but it seems like a backhanded compliment to me.
  
• Camping out for Star Wars II - Considering that Star Wars II won't open until May 16th, this seems a bit extreme. {from /usr.bin/girl}
  
• Learning to love the computer, warts and all - A funny bit from Dave Barry about how his computer helped him watch his warts. Just read it to make sense of it. {from Sara S.}
  
• The Geeks that saved Usenet - A Salon article about the people who helped Google create its massive archive of Usenet postings. {from slashdot}
  
• GoodSleep.com - Find out what kind of sleeper you are. I am an "adaptive Owl".
  
• Virus Writers Here to 'Help' - Are the people who write viruses doing the computing world a service? Some would like to think so. Then again some think the world is flat..
  
• Congressman assails CD copy protection - US Representative Richard Boucher (Democrat, Virginia) goes on record against copy protection 'tracks' on CDs.
  
• Bernard Shifman Is A Moron Spammer - I read this webpage and just about rolled out of my seat. It shows the progession of emails between an alledged spammer and several IT people. Not for everyone, but great for those who understand Internet terminology. {from slashdot} Adult language
  
• DoubleClick drops ads - Famed Internet surfer habit tracker DoubleClick has decided to leave the targeted Internet ad business. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I don't like ads, but does this mean we will see more freakin' pop-up ads? {from slashdot}
  
• Solid stops light - Solid traps light would be more accurate I think. Imagine being able to trap light into a crystal and being able to release it later!! {from slashdot}
  
• NOAH - Wonder where Vader or 2 Cold Scorpio are wrestling? Look no further than NOAH. The site is in Japanese with some English captions.
  
• SecurityFocus - A site I need to explore further, but it looks like it might be a good place for daily news about computer security.
  
• Vivisimo - A newer search engine, it can combine multiple other places's searches into one list. The only thing that would make it better is if it included Google searches...
