The other day I was pondering how scientists tattoo themselves with their science.
Just returned from a beach trip with Burnadette and JimL. NPR is reporting that Rove has resigned. Seems a lot has happened these past 4 days..

Her sources ranged from Cézanne, Picasso, Gris and Miró to Stuart Davis, Al Held and Agnes Martin. As she remarked in the 1987 catalog to her first big museum show, which traveled to the Whitney in 1988: “Everything has been done a million times. Sometimes you use it and it’s yours; another time you do it and it’s still theirs.”

In 2003, France got a glimpse of what the future may hold. A summer heat wave broke all temperature records, straining the country's medical and energy resources. But a future of warmer summers could bring unexpected pleasures — including wine.
The town of St. Emilion lies in heart of a France's famous Bordeaux wine region. Beside just about every road there are row upon row of exquisitely manicured grapevines. Francois Despagne, the winemaker at Chateau Grand Corbin Despagne, explains that it is impossible to produce good wine without good grapes. And he should know. Despagne's family has been living in this part of the Bordeaux wine region since the 16th century. Today, he has 200,000 plants on 53 different plots.
We've come a long way since the 1964 presidential election in which nuclear weapons were code for "bat shit crazy".
I've posted a bunch of stuff from Bruce Schneier over the years. He's the most widely known computer security expert, who has broadened his field greatly after 9/11 and now writes extensively on real world security. I think his technical background serves him very well, and I really am hoping there is some place for him in some under secretary role in a Dem administration. Or short of that I hope they read him at least. If I was president I'd put him in charge of Homeland Security (if for some reason I couldn't abolish that department - or at least rename it!)
Anyway, here's a post of his about the California voting Machine audit results. Follow up post is here. It's a little technical, but not too bad. Long story short: all the machines are easily hackable. We knew this already, but it still is nice to have some actual details. Posted for future reference if nothing else.
