I've been thinking about my little dogs all day; I have two Shih-Tzus, Bijou and Maxie. A close friend just lost her dog; he was old and ill, and it wasn't a total surprise, but of course it still it hurts like hell to lose a pet who's part of your family. I told Bij and Max about it, and somehow they understood; they've spent the whole day in my office, quietly hanging out. Interesting how they pick up our moods, isn't it... Oh goody: Citi sets plan to convert $58B in stock. Aka, the federal government now owns the U.S.' largest bank. This is not good. I don't know how we're going to put the cat back in the bag, either... Yay; the Lakers won a nail-biter tonight, winning game four over the Magic to take a 3-1 lead (and I think, wrap up the series). I watched this game, and I must tell you it was the worst-played basketball playoff game of all time. Neither team wanted to win, but in the end the Lakers wanted to lose less than the Magic. Brick city.
Dave Winer on the impending Facebook personal name lottery: the Facebook Saturday night massacre. It won't be that bad, Dave :) Jason Kottke updates us on the search for alien life: more extrasolar planetary news. "What scientists would look for are planets with unstable atmospheres, which James Lovelock said was an indication of life." The weird thing of course is that all we have to go on is Earth-based life, so we're looking for ourselves. There could be really alien life out there, which we would miss because we're not looking for it. Which gets to the heart of the matter, what is life?
News I can use: 13 Palm Pre tips and hacks you didn't know about. My Pre-report so far by the way is that I love it, it isn't perfect, and the battery life sucks. In fact the battery life is so bad that I suspect I have a defective phone. In all other ways it is great, and the best thing about it is the form factor. The screen size / usability to physical size / shape ratio is better than anything.
