The ScanGauge is a gadget that plugs into your car's OBD2-compliant diagnostic port. With it you can see engine parameters from fuel consumption to coolant temperature, check and reset engine trouble codes, or just use it as a trip computer. Pretty cool for $130. (It would be nice if the display were bigger though.)

Looks like a fur farm owner is going to liquidate some livestock. Please consider signing this petition to give the animals a chance to be adopted.

What's So Great About America?

This is from an opinion piece at National Review:

"As an immigrant who has chosen to become an American citizen, I feel especially qualified to say what is special about America. Having grown up in a different society � in my case, Bombay, India � I am not only able to identify aspects of America that are invisible to the natives, but I am acutely conscious of the daily blessings that I enjoy in America. Here, then, is my list of the ten great things about America."

C-130 Crash

Received in email... Thanks to the original author and photographer:

"Last week one of our planes flew into a US operated airfield in Iraq during the day and saw there was construction equipment on the runway. Yet there was no NOTAM (notice to airmen). A trench was being dug in the runway, and it was not marked. Its a long runway and they just landed beyond the construction. They filed a safety hazard report that was immediately forwarded to our higher headquarters and to the Air Force wing based here. Well, it seems the construction continued and still was not marked or NOTAMed or anything. A C-130 landed on the runway the night of the 29th and didnt see the construction. C-130 was totaled, several injuries to the crew and the few passengers but nobody was killed."

This is one of the best things I have read online in a long time--a visitor to North Korea recounts his trip.

I have posted an updated designer's diagram (210k) for the Belkin Nostromo Speedpad n52. This one has much more room to write notes, and is also a PDF form.

I have also greatly improved my Speedpad n52 config file for UT2004. Get the new archive (with visual key reference) here.

Teeny tiny computers that you can run FreeBSD or Linux on. It's a solution looking for a problem. Prices start at about $160.

Flame Warriors

Read about the denizens of the Internet--the Flame Warriors. Learn about the Rebel Without a Clue, the Blowhard, and a bunch more. Funny stuff, and it's even illustrated.

Here is an excerpt rom the Newbie:

Unsteady in his knowledge of computers and cyberculture Newbie perambulates the internet, blithely stumbling his way into discussion forums. He seldom reads the FAQs and is utterly clueless about the basics of netiquette. When engaged in battle Newbie's usual tactical gambit is to feign helplessness, often going limp or crying when cornered.

Wondering what shows are cancelled? What shows are new? Check The Futon Critic.

There is some more data on cancellations in this forum thread too.

The worst news is that Alias won't be back until January!
