So, while taking a break earlier I found these disturbing articles:

Atlanta cops throw down and bust Oxford historian for jaywalking (via reddit)

and

Security guard shoots at woman who took library book (via Drudge)

Seems to me some people really should be acting out their Rambo instincts on an Xbox rather than in real life provoked by people’s everyday trivial infractions….

I gave the Venice Project a try last week, and generally found it to be pretty good although the lack of any interesting content means that I hardly use it.

The UI is pretty hot, though. Have to give those ex-Skype guys credit for making their apps so dead simple and intuitive.

Anyway, I just received two additional beta-testing invites. If anyone’s interested in trying it, leave me a comment or send me an email.
