Geek Cooking taken to a new level

well, now that the cpu output is too cool to cook a bag of microwave popcorn (ah, the good old days of vaxes running cobol...), a new alternative is available...

i was trying to avoid another "my god what's the hell is happening" post, but...

when the reuters headline is "Republicans Nominate Bush, Sing His Praises", I have to *seriously* wonder 1) what the hell is going on that they need to use such religiously-tainted fodder like "Sing His Praises", and 2) where the *hell* assholes like Rush get off saying there's anything like a "Liberal Media" that can spout out such claptrap.

(b.t.w., the article was written by "John Whitesides, Political Correspondent". maybe desmond can tell me if he's as bad as some of the other pro-republican people like coulter or not.)

now given that the article mentions how democrats simply don't see any "compassion" in "compassionate conservatism", it may be that the headline is actually intentionally mocking the proceedings.

the trouble with satire is that nobody can tell the difference anymore.

another cool mozilla plug-in: weatherfox

weatherfox grabs the weather report from the weather channel, puts icons on your status bar, and has tooltips that give the temperature details for the day (and next 2 days)
