Not exciting news. YET. I've been asked to be a contributor to a forthcoming book. Without getting too specific, I will mention that it's an O'Reilly book, which is about as cool as it gets in the techie arena. I'm not going to get my hopes up too high, since my contribution would be small, and may not survive the editing process. It's very much the equivalent to a walk-on part in a big movie, that may well end up on the editing room floor. Still, it will be VERY COOL if it pans out, and might lead to follow-on stuff. Further details as events warrant.

On a lighter note. Here are the photos from our trip to Hamilton Island.

I just saw this broadcast from Fox News. I'm no fan of Fox News and Geraldo Rivera, but good for them, and the other journalists covering Katrina, for getting the word out that the people of New Orleans need HELP, and so far, it hasn't been forthcoming.
This is not a proud time to be an American. Bush just seems to go from one deadly decision to another. I hope history accurately records the ways in which this administration have let America down, and voters remember this in 2008.
