Reminder: Berkeley Blogger's Dinner tomorrow at 7PM. 

Dan MacTough continues to work on getting OPML Community Server to run on Mac OS X. 

As part of the rewrite of Scripting News, I now have an OPML file listing the monthly archive going back to April 1997. 

Breakfast with Lisa Williams a couple of Sundays ago was a long varying discussion of friendship. We figured a lot of things out.  

NY Times: "The largest study ever to ask whether a low-fat diet reduces the risk of getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet has no effect." 

One would hope 

With the Constitution under attack in the US, by our own government, how much hope is there that the western countries will express a collective outrage of the violent intimidation of Muslims to keep us from saying negative things about them.

Just writing this little bit scares me. What a crock that is. I'm not watching Fox or listening to right wing talk radio. What are they saying about the Muslims rioting about the cartoons? I don't suppose they worry too much about their contradictions. Which side do they come down on?

Can you find the cartoons on Google? I tried, and came up empty. Lots of stories. The cartoons themselves are not on the web. I'd like to see what we're talking about here. Google Denmark has the cartoon, but it's apparently been deleted from the original site. (Actually the page referring to the graphic is gone, the cartoon is still there.) With Google censoring in China, one has to wonder when censorship will appear in Google in the US.

BBC: "One of the cartoons shows the Prophet wearing a headdress shaped like a bomb, while another shows him saying that paradise is running short of virgins for suicide bombers."

BuzzMachine: "Staffers at the New York Press walked out in protest after they were forced to pull the now-infamous Danish Muslim cartoons."
