- Internet startup to go -- 7 hours
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  These new projects (it is a little hard to call them full-fledged companies) take an entirely different approach from the software and Internet firms of the late 1990s. The new ethos among entrepreneurs: Throw something out there quickly and see if it sticks.

- Imagine All the People, Loving in 3-D
  Posted by Damianmann from Wired
  "An active erotic imagination -- sexual fantasy -- is key to a great sex life," say the sexuality experts. "People who play out sexual fantasies online are weird, perverted loners who can't maintain healthy sexual relationships (or even get laid) in real life," say the media and the masses. Curiously, people who have actually involved themselves in some form of sex online rarely subscribe to that belief. We know it's not all unicorns and sunflowers (not that there's anything wrong with tha

Firefox 3 Beta 3 Brings a New Browsing Interface

Maybe it’s the “resource hog” property of Firefox that has kept me away: my system seems alllergic to FF, as the whole thing overheats and shuts down within seconds of the program being accessed.

Perhaps I should try Beta 3, and see what happens.

Story | Victoria Times Colonist | Canadians urged to post health-care violations to new website

Given all the press given to various forms of essentially-universal health care that Democratic candidates for the U.S. presidency currently propose, I thought this was very topical. In Canada there are constant threats to our version of universal care/Medicare at all levels – from encroaching privatization from U.S. owned clinics (which, thanks to NAFTA, we can’t remove despite their violation of the Canada Health Act) to extra payments for simple medical equiptment.

This particular story has to do with efforts to deal with that smaller issue, of course. It’s easier to deal with, though, being strictly illegal. Blocking private care alternatives is a slightly more thorny human rights issue.
