I'm both happy and sad that I don't have neighbors like this.

[...]Mr. Mack, a Long Island resident who says he typically rides the railroad 5 to 10 times a year, said that if he had to pay, he might change his habits.
"Why should I ride and inconvenience myself when I can ride in a car?" he said. [via The New York Times]
Dick.
David S. Mack is vice-chairman of the Metropolitan Transit Authority. He seems to think he shouldn't have to pay any tolls in New York.

There is some kind of incompatibility between AVG antivius 8.0 and Array Networks Virtual Secure Desktop that prevents secure desktop from running. It is very, very annoying.

Does anyone else think that the Firefox Mobile concept borrowed quite a bit from the OLPC interface? Not that I don't like it, but it did strike me as surprisingly derivative of what the OLPC people did.

My God; Tim Russert died. I was a big fan of his. He has been part of my Sunday morning routine for years.

I really must thank ESPN for televising the Euro 2008 games in high def. So much more fun to watch than SD.

Did anyone at WWDC talk about the difference between .Mac and me.com accounts? If you have a .Mac account, can you turn it into a me.com account? Is me.com something you get in addition to .Mac?
[update] Apparently .Mac subscribers will be upgraded to a me.com account for free.

Very cool iPod-chosen transition: from a Bach keyboard concerto to The Mountain Goat's "Tianchi Lake." I think they started and ended in the same key.

The June 9 issue of The New Yorker has a great article about Buckminster Fuller. I had no idea he was such a freak.
Choice quote:
"Fuller championed, and for many years adhered to, a dietary regimen that consisted exclusively of prunes, tea, steak, and Jell-O."

James Fallows in The Atlantic:
"Politicians shouldn't be obscure. But a willingness to assume good things about the public -- its knowledge, its understanding, its ability to rise above the most immediate appeal to pocketbook or prejudice -- is part of what makes a politician into a leader."
Yes. Absolutely.
If enough people stop assuming that Americans are stupid, maybe we'll stop acting as such. I do have hope.
