I've been waiting for this!

"You know, we used to all love Sarah Palin, conservatives like me, for her enemies. I'm starting to dislike her because of her fans."
— Ann Coulter

I've heard that she's lost a lot of political support with her shenanigans of popping up in New Hampshire and Iowa on certain important days, thus stealing some people's thunder. I really feel for the people in Arizona, as if that state isn't screwed up enough Palin's now living there.

RIP: Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg

He effectively invented the ebook. In 1971. WOW. He had access to the computers at University of Urbanna-Champaign (his parents were Profs) and was given a free printed copy of the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July typed the whole thing in to the computers to share with people.

Thus it began.

I read a lot from Project Gutenberg, it's pretty much my main source for things like Shakespeare, Clemons, etc. I'm sorry to see him go, but very glad for what he gave us while he was here.
