    • Thomas Jefferson’s Koran Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, found himself under attack last month when he announced he'd take his oath of office on the Koran -- especially from Virginia Rep. Virgil Goode, who called it a threat to American values.

    • First Day of School Well, okay, so there wasn't any big yellow school bus for me today. And no, there wasn't a _short_ bus either, smartasses. Still and all, it _was_ my first day in school in fifteen years, so I figured I had to mark the occasion in some form.

    • NetNewsWire display bug Has anyone else seen this particular NetNewsWire bug?
    • From vinyl to .mp3 The New York Times has a decent overview of how to transfer vinyl recordings to .mp3 (or AAC, or whatever your digital format of choice may be).

    • A tweak here, a tweak there Further changes (including some of the ideas that have been tossed at me in the comments to my last post) will appear as I get around to them. In other words, it could be tomorrow, and it could be sometime in 2007. Around here, you just never know.
    • Everything old is new again I've finally managed to finish up what's been something of an ongoing 'whenever I'm bored' project for the past few months — re-entering all my old posts (two years worth, approximately 700 or so?) that disappeared when my old webserver died in August.
    • tlhIngan Hol Did you know that you could Google in Klingon? Completely bizarre. But cool.
    • Wireless in the classroom In response to this article about the pros and cons of wireless 'net access on campus, Robert Scoble presents a list of suggests as to how teachers can adapt.
