Though not all blogs may aspire to literary permanence, they can achieve it through the new Book-Smart software from Blurb, a publish-your-own-book service. The software, which is expected to be available free later this month at www.blurb.com, features a "Slurper" tool that automatically downloads and reformats the contents of a Web log into a book that bloggers and their admirers can purchase online.
Slurping is not all BookSmart has to offer. It simplifies the layout process by providing design templates for various kinds of books, including cookbooks, photo books, portfolios and volumes dedicated to pets and babies. The software guides users through design decisions like choosing text styles and how many photos will appear on each page.
Pricing for printed versions of your book from Blurb starts at $30 for an 8-by-10-inch full-color hardcover volume with dust jacket and up to 40 pages. A book of up to 80 pages is $3 more. (Blurb plans to eventually offer paperback editions selling for about 30 percent less than hardcover.) Authors will also be able to set up online bookstores through Blurb's Web site.
Although an early version of the software occasionally stuttered or froze, Blurb expects to have the kinks ironed out in time for its public release.
just caught the ash wednesday colber* repor* with huffington - good tv
i am trying to remember the name of a japanese movie i think is about 5 years old. the premise was that when you die, you must choose one memory from your life to accompany you to the afterlife. there was a group of recently dead who were temporarily housed in what seemed to be an old hospital or some such institution where they were assigned a counselor to help choose the memory and then film it using old makeshift props and sets, like something from community theater at best. once the memory was filmed and viewed they were able to pass on to the afterlife. this movie has stuck with me for so long but i can't remember the name of it and i'd love to see it again. anyone?

Summary: During the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, writes the intelligence community's former senior analyst for the Middle East, the Bush administration disregarded the community's expertise, politicized the intelligence process, and selected unrepresentative raw intelligence to make its public case.
PAUL R. PILLAR is on the faculty of the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University. Concluding a long career in the Central Intelligence Agency, he served as National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia from 2000 to 2005.
Cheney shot and injured fellow hunter in S. Texas. I like this quote from the ranch owner, in the Times account:
''Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been,'' she said. ''The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came.''

I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, told a grand jury that he was authorized by his "superiors" to disclose classified information to reporters about Iraq's weapons capability in June and July 2003, according to a document filed by a federal prosecutor.

didnt watch the grammys. talking about a bankrupt system. i didnt even know u2 had a record out. i thought it was just part of the ipod advertising campaign. and get this industry babble about the populist phenom :
Grammy voters, for the first time, honored a contestant on the Fox television smash "American Idol," granting that populist phenomenon a measure of acceptance from the musical establishment. Kelly Clarkson, the winner on the show's first season, won best pop vocal album for her second album, "Breakaway" (RCA), and best female pop vocal performance — beating Ms. Carey — for the hit single "Since U Been Gone."
