Sorry, it's been a long time since I've posted. I'm sure you're really sad. All two of you. Or none since one of you is in Kazakhstan and the other one never reads my blog.

This is an interesting article on the Chineses' space ambitions (http://www.msnbc.com/news/723642.asp). I thought it was an interesting examination of China's potential motives. Hey, I wish them well. Space travel is pretty cool.

The stupid Feds probably will keep rates low (http://www.msnbc.com/news/777691.asp) into 2003. Thanks for nothing. Jerks.

Uh... ok... these are semi-funny. But the author shouldn't be described as a "Fireworks pro."

I'm no Fireworks pro and I think mine are better: http://www.lakeave.org/tools/test/james/ads.html

I'm so glad I cancelled my NextCard last year... NextBank was found to be insolvent and the Feds tried to sell the NextCard accounts the bank held but no one wanted to buy the accounts. Probably too many people ran too much money up on their cards and are gonna file bankruptcy. So, people still have to pay their balances, but their cards stopped working today.

The stupidest thing I've heard in a long time... House OKs guns in cockpits (http://www.msnbc.com/news/778680.asp) Isn't the cockpit one of the most dangerous places to have a gun? I mean, in general, a pressurized plane isn't the best environment for one, but with all those windows, it seems like an even worse place. I can see it now... a group takes over a plane by making its air supply system pump in a gas that disables everyone. Then they gain access to the cockpit and have guns conveniently waiting for them to keep the passengers in line when they wake up. We have way too many guns in this country and airplanes is not another great place to have them. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
