I guess I’m feeling healthier. I stayed up late programming the little “Events Today” thing at the top of the page. If you’ve got a favorite holiday or historical event you think I should add to the database, send it in. I still need to work out the “movable holiday” code, but hey, I’ve got a week and a half before I need to think about Palm Sunday. Anyway, the update will be late today. Sorry.
Okay. It’s update time, and I’ve got some stuff. Not as much as I’d like, but that’s the way mornings go when I get a late start. But I had fun programming last night, so I think it was worth it.
- Did you know the Minneapolis Fire department also has a museum? I read about it in the Northeaster a couple months ago, and keep meaning to head up there some Saturday. Sounds like an interesting bit of local history. [strib]
- Joey says there’s A Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On in Apple’s Newest Powerbooks and then runs down the various applications people have written that use the accelerometer in the newest laptops. Cool stuff. In response, he got a suggestion to turn one into an Etch-a-Sketch. [accordionguy]
- The Strib has a pretty reasonable article on blogging: In new era of reporting, blogs take a seat at the media table, which explains how weblogs are adding to the coverage of news provided by the traditional media. Mitch elaborates a bit on the article. [strib and mitch]
- Here’s something that makes me feel oh! so good about flying: Gun Nuts at 30,000 Feet? The problem on the plane seems to have been the Air Marshalls, one of whom washed out of a police training program twice because they Philadelphia police department, those models of restraint, figured he was nuts.
