hot air powers the point
Tell me — how far left do you have to be to call Kos a “centrist”?
Please see my later post on this topic.
Thanks to the help on the kaytwo Google Code forum, the Googlemaps plugin now works with the K2 theme on blogan.net.
Update: Argh! It appears to work only with Firefox. Time for debugging…
Update 2: Okay, I lied. I didn’t delete the offending line, I had changed 100% to auto. Fixed that. Still doesn’t work, sorta. Clicking on “satellite” or “hybrid” shows the satellite view. The map view does not work.
Update 3: Even stranger. Zooming out the map by one click fixes the map and hybrid display issue for Internet Explorer. No, I don’t know why. Issue closed?
Update 4: Of course not. I added another map (while keeping the original) that is zoomed out a little more and is in hybrid display mode. IE6 is still having problems with the original map, now displaying it only as a link. IE6 displays the newer map in map mode, not hybrid.
Update 5: Strangely enough, switching from K2 to the default theme doesn’t help. Now Firefox displays both maps as gray backgrounds. IE6 showed the same behavior as for K2.

A non-politically correct view on global warming from Channel4.
Update: One of the scientists quoted in the program is crying “foul.”
Professor Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said he had been “completely misrepresented” by the programme, and “totally misled” on its content. He added that he is considering making a formal complaint. (Source.)
Update 2: Another of the scientists in the program has received death threats.
Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five deaths threats by email since raising concerns about the degree to which man was affecting climate change.
One of the emails warned that, if he continued to speak out, he would not live to see further global warming. (Source.)
I’d say this raises some questions about Professor Carl Wunsch’s distancing himself from the program.
If you don’t want to waste time, don’t look at Line Rider. Or, throw caution to the wind and watch the movies, then try to make your own.
Vote for the Worst is an interesting attempt to make American Idol entertaining, and maybe encourage Simon to quit. Is it working?
Newt Gingrich admits to having an extramarital affair while condemning President Clinton’s affair. That’s not going to help his negatives.
Some reporters get all the good stories. For example, take Robert Jablon of the Associated Press:
An Iraqi immigrant with a suspicious device stuffed into a body cavity was detained at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday and a Philadelphia-bound jetliner was diverted to Las Vegas because his luggage was aboard, authorities said. (Source, comments added)
When TSA says, “Remove all metallic objects,” they mean what they say.
He triggered an alert during the secondary screening and immediately told screeners about the device he was carrying, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
“He initially said it was therapeutic,” she said. (comments added)
Of interest, the “device” was discovered only in the secondary screening.
How embarrassing…
The Copyright Royalty Board announced internet royalty rates that could end music streaming. I hope not. I like Pandora.
