Hmm.  I like the Chinese and know a bunch too some are even friends.  I didn't know they were attacking the US military computer systems so much though.  No doubt we are doing the same though it's just the new way to spy.

Yup this qualifies as wierd. Scientists develop pee-powered battery.

You would think there would be something else better for them to develop and I also wonder just how did they come up with the idea?  An office party gone wrong or something?

Thursday I went down to the local Harley-Davidson dealer and bought a new bike.  It's a 2006 HD Dyna Street Bob and it's like it was made just for me.

It's a whole lot nicer to ride than the Yamaha R6 I had before.  Different though.  The R6 was all about speed and getting there fast.  The HD is all about the ride. 

Are baby bells abusing their gov't granted right-of-way? by ZDNet's David Berlind -- Look outside your window (or check the manhole cover down the street).

I've traveled all over the world and been lots of places and in all my travels the hardest place to get back in was home. Nearly everywhere else you just get waved through.  I suppose it's still pretty easy to get in from Mexico as long as you don't belong here to begin with.  :)

Right after I send my first paypal payment for my half of my Sons trip I read my next e-mail and come across this.  ID theft ring hits 50 banks.  Well at least they can't get much from me. ;)

Hacking Cisco routers.  The good the bad and the ugly..

Two planes, a Cessna 150 and it looks like a Cessna 180 float plane crashed mid-air in the pattern at Renton, WA.  Two were killed in the 150 and four unharmed in the Float plane. 

The dirtiest joke every told. The Aristocrats..  Looks good I might have to go see it.
