Black car in Arizona: 115F inside it today.

I has seen it; some pics I took.

Monitors in all configurations.

Seems it has become a fad to op stuff everywhere as a reminder to the user. For instance I cannot shut Firefox without it warning me I have tabs open or querying me if "I really want to close it?". Eclipse does the same, though I know I can turn it off but am too lazy. Outlook in windows has tooltips that obscure the actual email header that I want to read.

Too much. Time to stop that fad IMO.

The current quote of the day on cafeaulait:

In today’s America neoconservatives generate brutish policies for which liberals provide the ethical fig leaf

Originally from here. btw if you are an independent, non-voter or apolitical; you suck too and it is all your fault.

Your site sucks. Fire your user experience designer. It will be better for all of us.

Richard Hammond on muscle cars:

There are those who don't like muscle cars, who can't understand their appeal and frown at them in confusion and bewilderment. They will not like the new Challenger. And we should pity these people - pity them, but not fear them, because they are spineless and have no soul.

Always surprises me the role religion has in America. The US has super-enlightenmentated Europe's western tradition - except in this area. Liberal democracies and market economies increasingly secularise - except for America. Given how America has taken over, innovated upon and advanced the enlightenment it is quite odd that this exists. I think the flap over Obama's pastor is a good example of this. Obama's nationalism and patriotism is being questioned because of his association with a pastor who teaches outside of 'accepted' religious norms. Or does he? The union of politics and religion in non-secular America seems a given. Maybe the flap is that people don't like his strand of religiosity and hence his politics and hence his nationalism?

Compiler Litter.

isn't enough

John Barrdear identifies four issues with the US Fed when asking are US policy makers panicking?

The US Fed has been berated, and rightfully so, as a bunch of money printers and politically, rather than economically focused. But what of the Australian Reserve Bank? Australia is facing inflation pressures. The Reserve vehemently claims their apolitical and independent nature ... valiantly stating they would raise interest rates in an election year if the economics demanded it.

So a friend of mine runs eight minute miles. Anyway he reckoned I could probably do three of them. I went to the gym today to test his theory.
