Thought I'd share the best error message I've seen in a while, courtesy of Orkut: "Bad, bad server. No donut for you. Unfortunately, the orkut.com has acted out in an unexpected way.

As usual, The Sports Guy does it again: a great column about how Boston fans have had it good for some time now. The key areas that make me wonder if we were separated at birth: "In the past 30 years, I watched the following players and coaches in their primes (or something that was reasonably close to their primes): Bird, Orr, Pedro, Clemens, Esposito, Havlicek, Cowens, Neely, Bourque, McHale, Tippett, Parish, DJ, Fisk, Nomar, Manny, Bledsoe, Lewis, Brady, Parcells and Belichick.

Great article today on Wi-Fi htospots in San Francisco, courtesy of Doug Fleener, by way of the Wall St. Journal: San Francisco 94110 Is Really a Hot Spot, My Wi-Fi Tour Shows May 24, 2004; Page B1 After spending the better part of a week methodically, albeit figuratively, peeking though my neighbors' walls, I can't shake the thought: Why can't we all just get along? If you're one of the millions of people who have bought a wireless computer networking product lately, you very probably, in the process of setting it up, detected other Wi-Fi products belonging to your neighbors. This happens because Wi-Fi signals can travel several hundred feet. When I got my first wireless network two years ago, mine was the only one. Now, I can "hear" three others, just from my living room. I wondered: If there are three right around my house, how many are there in my neighborhood? I set about finding out, though with an expansive definition of neighborhood: my entire ZIP Code...
