We hardly knew ye, but we know all about the resume update you’ll have chiseled onto your tombstone. Link: Burris Looks Back On “Big Legacy” UPDATE: RATS! I can’t add just a link, because I didn’t want to replace my entry titles with the Tumblog entry title tag. I had to add the link and it’s title manually on this post.

So: not messages like “love your neighbor, love the sinner” but more like “hate yourself, hate your sin.” Testing Express, an app for iPhone that is supposed to work n conjunction with the WooTumblog app. UPDATE: Works! Still not the link-grabber bookmarklet Press This used to be before a recent “security” update, but it’s not difficult to set up a lightly edited post from the iPhone now. It’s not that easy to do links with the official WordPress app, and blockquote? Fageddaboudit, you have to go through hell just to get angle brackets. All in all, a modified “w00t!”

After hosting a dear friend from college who’s traveling on an Amtrak USA railpass this month, I’m happy to see this news. In fact when I told my workmates about my friend’s epic journey to Glacier National Park, now they want to try it too… just not without using Amtrak’s horrible reservations system, “Arrow.” Maybe an improvement to one of our tools sometime next year will make it easier to book the occasional business traveler. That said, I’m a rail fan, and I really wish the US hadn’t turned its passenger rail systems into a few tourist routes and a…

BBC News – Hampshire workmen paint white lines around dead badger. Hampshire workmen paint white lines around dead badger The dead badger has been removed and the lines will be painted Workmen painting white lines on a road left a gap for a dead badger because they said it was not their responsibility to move it. The animal had been killed about a week before on the A338 near Downton, on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border.

Just pondering what “Pastor” “Doctor” Terry Jones would do if shortly before he lights off his pile of Qurans, protestors tossed Bibles or pocket New Testaments on it to protect their fellow sacred texts? Jones would have to stop to gather them up. Repeat as needed. For best effect, the people tossing Bibles on the pile would need to be Christians, or even clergy in vestments. All different kinds. I’m not suggesting anyone of another faith throw their sacred text on the pile, just imagining how it might play out if it did. I hope that Jones backs down, and…
