For any writer look­ing to cre­ate a dig­i­tal record of every­thing that they write, this looks really cool.

“sim­plyScroll is a jQuery plu­gin that can ani­mate (scroll) a set of ele­ments either auto­mat­i­cally or man­u­ally, hor­i­zon­tally or ver­ti­cally. It can also accept dynamic image input via a Flickr feed (note not API) or a local JSON source. This plu­gin can be per­for­mance inten­sive, so speed and fram­er­ate are fully con­fig­ure­able to acco­mo­date lower spec systems.”

We need to talk with Syria.

If the deci­sion to place lim­its on the salaries when will (if they even do leave) they start leaving.

Links hard to click, long forms, and requir­ing reg­is­tra­tion for anything.

Next large mis­sion is to Jupiter’s moon Europa.

“Crime lab­o­ra­to­ries around the coun­try are grossly under­funded, lack a sci­en­tific foun­da­tion and are com­pro­mised by crit­i­cal delays in ana­lyz­ing phys­i­cal evi­dence, accord­ing to a broad study of foren­sic tech­niques pub­lished Wednes­day by the National Acad­emy of Sci­ences, the nation’s pre­mier sci­en­tific body.” Not a happy finding.

What should you do before your web­site goes live.

“Israel’s secu­rity cab­i­net has decided there will be no truce in Gaza until an Israeli sol­dier cap­tured in 2006 is freed, Israel’s inte­rior min­is­ter says.” Totally under­stand Israel’s position.

If I had a choice between going insane or knit­ting, I think I would chose insanity.

“Swe­den has agreed to give asy­lum to a Chi­nese Mus­lim man who was held at Guan­tanamo Bay for almost five years.” Great news, happy for this guy.

This seems odd: “The appeals court said that only the exec­u­tive branch, not the judi­ciary, could make deci­sions on immi­gra­tion”, doesn’t there exist a spe­cial branch of the judi­cial sys­tem designed to deal with immigration?

The­o­ret­i­cally we even know the build­ings he is most likely using.

I’m not so sure which way I fall on this issue.

“The envi­ron­men­tal agency is under order from the Supreme Court to make a deter­mi­na­tion whether car­bon diox­ide is a pol­lu­tant that endan­gers pub­lic health and wel­fare, an order that the Bush admin­is­tra­tion essen­tially ignored despite near-unanimous belief among agency experts that research points inex­orably to such a find­ing.” About time.

This seems crazy, what the heck hap­pened in Egypt?

“The US has urged its Nato allies to increase their troop lev­els in Afghanistan to fight the Taleban.”

“The Law Lords have ruled that rad­i­cal cleric Abu Qatada can be deported from the UK to Jor­dan where he faces jail for ter­ror­ism.” Alleged to be Osama’s right-hand man in Europe.

The third day of this spectrial.

“I applaud the adults involved for their dis­cre­tion and tem­per­ance in this heinous case of tex­ting with­out per­mis­sion. ” Seri­ously, don’t you have some­thing bet­ter to be doing.

Cool.

Wow. “A jury ordered Philip Mor­ris to pay $8 mil­lion in dam­ages to the widow of a smoker who died of lung can­cer in a case that could set a stan­dard for roughly 8,000 sim­i­lar law­suits in Florida.”

This looks really, really really nice.

This really bites. “103 out of 173 co-op stu­dents will be laid off between now and June. 28 will be grad­u­at­ing in 2009 and will be allowed to fin­ish; 42 stu­dents from crit­i­cal skill areas will be retained.”

And Hulu pulls out of tv.com.

And what Hulu has to say.

Hulu will no longer be on Boxee.

Get your pi on.

Swe­den won’t clean up GM’s prob­lem, good for Sweden.
