What an awesome day. It cranked right up to 55 and held for a couple of hours, slowly chewing away at the perma-snow in the yard (tough stuff). I alternated between flopping in the sun with the animals and coding in the basement by myself. A sunny day makes my brain work better, I'm convinced of it.

Chilling Effects Clearinghouse is an internet law related site, helping folks to understand the protections intellectual property laws and the First Amendment give to their online activities. This tracks recent C&D (cease and desist) letters that web owners have recieved like EnronOwnsTheGOP.com and the strange case of the blender barbies.
Wizened, as in When my children bring balloons home from parties, the ones that are filled with helium are often small and wizened by the following morning. And why is helium so transient?
...This leads to a truly bizarre effect if the balloon is filled with the gas sulphur hexafluoride, which has large, very heavy molecules which hardly diffuse through the rubber at all, and so cannot get out. But once again, as in the helium example, there are more air molecules outside than in, so air diffuses inwards and the balloon slowly increases in size.
While we're linking away to Q&A's here's one that explains why radio announcers drink.
