High of 70: The weather is fine!

Why do I say that John McCain is a fucking cunt? This is why is say that John McCain is a fucking cunt.

I guess enouraging their base to parrot them is the best we can hope for from these twits. Way to raise the level of discourse.

Informative article here from Chuq Von Rospach on MobileMe problems (via Daring Fireball, of course). Personally, I’m less annoyed with the outages of the MobileMe service, than with the anemic feature set.

Oh, my, these are funny. Merlin Mann points the way to riches!

Too brief but tantalizing article about a Dutch town testing “air purifying” bricks as a paving material. Sounds like they are intended to fight smog and acid rain, not CO2, but even that’s great if it works. Via Slashdot.

John Gruber pointed this out on the twitter. The shorts are bad enough, but the analysis is INSANE!

Who’s surprised by today’s announcement that China will black reporters’ access to sites that it considers illegal? Nobody? That’s what I thought.

I wonder how many hookers it took for the IOC to acquiesce.

The media should ignore these stupid fucking games.

Unnecessary Knowledge. Neat-o.

I can’t wait to see these fellas on August 1.
