Cool 1947 Film
From LISNews and The Internet Archive, a “vocational guidance film” about librarians.
No no no…not that Hall of Fame. This Hall of Fame.

Mars = water
In an exciting press release (at least as exciting as scientific press releases go), NASA announced today that it is nearly certain that at one point Mars had significant amounts of water.
And water, as we know, equals life. Nearly every aquatic environment on earth has some life…extremophiles abound, dealing with heat, pressure, and pH as needed to continue living in terrifically difficult conditions. I think that everyone believes that we’ll find evidence of life at some point.

Testing new setup
Finally got the upgrade to WordPress 1.01 going…the database work was a bit of a sticky wicket to work out, but through my m4d php skillz (ie, combing patiently through tons of code for the ONE variable that was causing me problems) I was successful.
Will be working a bit on the layout in order to get the colors where I want them (I really like my colors, dammit!). What do you guys think of the new look?
And, believe it or not, this was actually related to a project for Open Source…trying to navigate my way through help documents in order to construct some of my own. Go go semi-useful classes!

Internet2
Check the news: Sewanee is live on Internet2. For those of you who hadn’t heard, this is where Betsy and I will be located next year (and for the foreseeable future, I suppose). I’m interested to see what kind of opportunities this may bring, since the intersection of faculty/students and technology is where I’m happiest.

The coolest movie ever.
This is the coolest trailer I’ve ever seen.
I have no idea what this is about, I don’t understand any of it. BUT, if anyone out there wants to translate, I’d love to know.

More comedy…
A hilarious look at what happens if you decided to eat a variety of all natural products that’s aren’t, technically, foodstuffs.
I’d give it
+1 Informative
+1 Funny (for all the slashgeeks)

A loss for digital rights…
In a defeat for Fair Use rights, 321 Studios was issued an injunction from a federal judge instructing them to stop producing or selling their software product DVD X-Copy. The software allows you to backup your DVD’s to recordable DVDs, a right that seems perfectly reasonable (especially given that it IS legal to backup CDs).
Hopefully a higher court will hear this, and come to their senses.
