No wireless here.  I’m in Florida at my parents.  I miss my broadband wireless at home.  Waahh.  Dialup is sllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooow.  Wireless Weblog [Dan Gillmor’s eJournal]

While I think that the idea is a bit wacky..  I do admire the folks at HavenCo for apparantly being successful with what they’re doing..  I just want a full cage in a colocation facility at a reasonable price and remain profitable!  For now, I’ll settle for my 4u of server space.  Want to start a Data Haven?. Have you ever read Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon? Are you running a server farm out of your bedroom closet and wishing you could think of something to do with it? Do you obsess over computer security, asymetric-key cryptography, digital cash, or the future of freedom in the information age? In short, do you wish you could buy an island, recruit a few techies like yourself, start your own Data Haven, and single-handedly change the world? [kuro5hin.org]

Umm..  I think this is crap.  I’ve never seen more than 12 submissions in the queue.  Why is this necessary?  How will K5 avoid being crushed by content?. Kuro5hin, in growing as a community, faces challenges caused by this growth.

I need some of this.  I’m confused though, does it help with Anal Itch?  Toilet Paper Technology: “Here at ShitBegone, I know your ass is important. So I’ve designed ShitBegone with thousands of tiny micro-pockets, which actually lift away more feces per wipe than other leading brands”. [via Gregory]  [Adam Curry: Adam Curry’s Weblog]
