It must be a year now, since Ugluk the ice-man thawed out from a glacier and, in one of the classic moments of cross-cultural and cross-temporal history, contacted the Crazy Apple Help Desk to ask advice about buying an iMac.

He’s back. I thought the world should know.

OK, this has all been taken care of in an adult fashion.

A really slow adult fashion

Zhi-Wei Lu is keeping me waiting.

*ok, by twice I mean I sent the same email to his 2 different email accounts

Somewhere along the way, the American media has actually begun to report on some of the issues.

Yes, they failed to cover the extent of the massive peace protests last month (we’ll see about tomorrow’s), yes there has been almost no American mention of the fact that America has been spying on it’s allies or forgeing it’s “evidence” among other things, but for some reason the LA Times is publishing on this little nugget:

Report Doubts Bush’s Iraq Domino Theory – LA Times
Fri Mar 14,11:19 AM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A classified report by the State Department concluded that overthrowing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news – web sites) is unlikely to generate democratic reform in the Arab world, the Los Angeles Times said on Friday.

Here’s the registration required link to the the Times article.

What’s going on here?

Another Poster For Peace, a collection of royalty-free peace graphics from graphic designers has recently added some new designs. Share and enjoy.

The powerpoint presentation that I gave to the remote sensing course today is online. It’s about some of the work we did earlier this year conducting a pilot study to see how well we could assess the water status of some conifer trees based on the light reflectance of their needles. Or something.

Check out the cool 70’s retro-ish background I made from pine needle pictures. Well, I thought it was cool.

The whole thing probably doesn’t make much sense without the audio component. And I figured out how to get better resolution in the photos just as I was finishing it up. So no high resolution photos.

%#@$!

Holy crap, I just noticed Chiron is posting on my blog. I guess that thing worked then.

Carry on.

www.Yi.org also does dynamic hosting. I’ve been using it for a while. The best part is you can use a program or a web interface to update the IP address. I use a windows program on my desktop at home to update called yiPost. The funny thing is, it’s my linux firewall that runs on the IP even though it’s a completely different computer the runs the program. I can provide more info if required, but the website is pretty good.
