Here is an analysis of the JonBenet Ramsey ransom note. The writer makes some interesting points, though I don't have a clue whether they are generally good at what they do.

Good luck getting your hands on a PS3 this winter - it appears that Sony will only be able ship 50% of the units they had originally planned. Plus, you can bet that they had planned for there to be a 'shortage' anyway - to keep buzz going and justify the $600 price tag.

Global Warming Heritics
Canadian Liberals shut down blog.

Bunch of George Orwell quotations. I particularly like the one about Pacificsm.

Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'.

Google is now offering a hosted spreadsheet application for free. This probably spells the end for programs like Microsoft Works, and depending on how they push it could have a real impact on Excel.

Is Jamie Gold going to lose the World Series of Poker main event on purpose? Sure sounds like he's seriously considering it.

All kinds of interesting looks at the PGA Tour statistics, including a What If scenerio whereby all events were Stableford format.

AOL finally lets the world cancel their accounts. In 3 years, will they still even be in operation? I rather doubt it.
