Is it snowing yet?
Now I don't want to nag, but be sure to write a thank you note to Jim, for gifting us with this tree-place in cyberspace. It's now a bit more than a year old, and come a long way in that time. It's certainly meant a lot to me. Thanks Jim, for all your love and work here. (Just don't lose my posts again, OK?)

Slow day at DMTree, so I figured I could find something by typing nonsense words into Google. Just so you know, splidge is posting to everything2.
The Florida sunshine law which implies that a post election independent audit would set the record straight
was handily thwarted by the supreme court not establishing (read : intentionally avoiding) a standard for the recounting of unders and overs. They ran out the clock by avoiding this point and accepting the case to begin with. Then blew the whistle to boot. I hate sports metafores.
Any one know exactly where the space lab is in the night sky. I've noticed somthing bright and always exactly in the same place to the south. Is that it ? Have I found it !?
Now that its almost a done deal I'd like to say that I'm glad GWB will be the new president simply and irresponsibly for the fact that I'm hoping he will continue to entertain many of us as he has done in the past. Still, it saddens me that so many of the people I know here in Southern Louisiana and obviously a few forty million others across the country really voted for such an insubtantial hairball of a guy. Sometimes, the will of mass america scares me, although, I guess in a way its good to know where everyone's standing so we can bob and weave, when necessary. Jesus, Gjr as president. I was never able in good conscience to vote for Clinton but give me the chance to replace Gjr with Slick Willie and I would say, "I love Bill Clinton, and I want you to love him too, and tonite when you hit your knees I want you to ask God to love him." (Guess the movie that last line is from--Bill Clinton is not the name used in the movie--and win a no expenses paid trip to the grand opening of the New Orleans, Louisiana Taco Bell across the street from the parish prison at Broad and Tulane.
Carnegie Mellon University found that
e-commerce systems do reduce the use of buildings, but they generally rely
on a transportation system that is more energy and pollution intensive (not
to mention they clog up the highways and cause air traffic delays and then
we as a society complain about it when it's actually our purchases adding to
the problem). The "Green Team" at Carnegie Mellon also took into account all
those boxes and packing materials, which they say makes the environmental
impact of e-commerce 2.5 times worse than conventional commerce.

Last Thursdays NYT, Circuts Q and A column answered a request for a spell checker that would cover botanical names.

Can anyone remember (and post here) George Carlin's 7 forbidden words ? It could increase our hits !
We've had a few laughs around here lately due to the...er...curious search requests that generate hits on our pages (I say 'our' but I really mean 'Bill'.) Anyway, I didn't know (until yesterday) that there is a whole site dedicated to such disturbing search requests (not for the people offended by other peoples search for offensive material.)
i,m sure there are many books on cab drivers, but for an upcoming volume i have a few stories, i love talking to drivers and have had some great conversations inc some where the driver pulls over and we just talk for a while (yes meter off). One wacky ride about 3 years ago was when i got into a car parked @ 7th near 55th, the driver looked a little tired but as he nodded out at every light it was obvious he was stoned on herion, when each light changed i say "i think its time to go now" slow motion action began that was like a turtle in a comic book race, all was fun till he started to go the wrong way down streets in the west village--has anyone been in the one when the driver is a minister and the cab his ministry??--here's why i am leaving this long message because i met The Human Computer as a drove me home tonight and he can in fact tell you the day of the year you were born...
The really important sports news
is this the recalled one??
One of daves (df) post/links a couple of weeks ago put a name to those "small pieces of torn up used plastic baggies". Any one recall what that name was ?
lucky i still have both arm's but my brain feels like those tests where they took a salamander's brains out blended them re-insirted than stiched up (yes they looked like they lived normal lives...)--any one want this experience go see "requiem for a dream"--great movie

easyEverything, the internet center we used in Amsterdam, is now opening a branch in Times Square. The internet café idea hasn't taken off here, maybe because people have their own machines, but the 600 terminal operation in Amsterdam had plenty of business, and perhaps the tourists will fill up the NY branch. You might think they'd have a better web site, though.
