Well folks, the guy who invented ctrl+alt_del is retiring.  The good news, we can still use his stuff.  David J. Bradley is retiring from IBM after more than twenty-eight years of service.  More on the inventor, David J. Bradley.

It's morbid, but is it helpful?  The Clark County Coroner in Nevada has started posting pictures of unidentified dead bodies on its web site.  Sure, it's creepy, but they have solved 3 times the number of cold cases this year.

If your virus software is not up to date, update it now.  If you're not running anti-virus software, buy some now.  It's like car insurance, it's just part of the cost of being on the Internet.

This new attack is estimated to be the most virulent since Nimda in 2001.  Full details of the current virus threat can be found here:

Here's some great photography, voted the best pictures of 2003 by the readers of... well... something (the root URL doesn't have much, the page just states “These photos were voted by readers as the best images of year...”).

Would I lose your respect if I told you they work for peanuts?

(How much respect do I loose (sic) for leaning too heavily on my spell checker?  Hey Steve: ;p)

It's amazing what becomes interesting if you're important... I don't think anyone would come to my web site to read a transcript of me trying to order ribs.  President Bush ordering ribs, however, is amusing for some unknown reason.

Thanks Doug for brightening my day.

We must never forget we are animals, barely restrained by the society we live in.  When our society turns a blind eye, the animal breaks loose.

Without Sanctuary is a collection of photo postcards taken at lynchings (hangings) in America's not-too-distant past.  This book is a grim, and often gruesome reminder of the beast that lurks just below the surface of mankind.

I encourage you to visit the Without Sanctuary page at Musarium to watch the flash presentation of some of the book, narrated by the book's author.  Be advised that many of the images are graphic and disturbing.

I'd like to thank Steve for providing this link to a disturbing part of American history, a part that should never be forgotten.

Ah...er...um... no words come to mind.  Go to Badger Badger Badger to see for yourself.

(Thanks to Dennis, a plus number one fan of Engrish, for the link).

UPDATE!!!

The directors cut is out!
