Um, wow.  The new chopper arrives in March! Until we get the Amsterdam Heliport up and running she’ll be positioned at Schiphol airport. We’re all pretty jazzed! This picture is of the demonstrator model on the helipad at the castle. [Adam Curry: CurryDotCom]

I just installed this, it rocks!  Wired News: Trillian Won’t Heed AOL’s Message.

I love Startrek.  I like gall too.  A couple of days ago I dug up a story about Worf and Riker. It seems there was a Klingon rule that the second officer had a responsibility to assassinate the commander if he or she became weak. Worf liked that rule. Another Worf story. Talking about someone else, he said “So and so has gall.” Pause. He continues.”I like gall.”  [Scripting News]

And I thought we were rid of this fucking idiot.  Clinton: Find ‘Common Humanity’. America better help economically depressed countries, or it faces a never-ending war on terrorism, says former President Clinton. But Bubba wasn’t all doom and gloom during a speech at UC-Berkeley. He’s happy Dubya is the center of political controversy. Brad King reports from Berkeley, California. [Wired News]

I like my iPAQ.  For Mail, a Palm That Gets It. The Palm i705 is a small, light, self-contained organizer that can process e-mail and surf the Web, wirelessly and inexpensively. [The New York Times: Technology]
