It’s never too early to plan for your county fair, especially if you’re planning on winning a blue ribbon. Hey, Craig, King County even has a bread machine category!

Some info on why growing an apple tree from an apple seed may be disappointing, from a question raised by a discussion of a Straight Dope column.

Know how the traffic is, right now!!! Or, listen to the radio.

A directory of free wifi hotspots, a special treat if you don’t feel like imposing on the unwitting generosity of others. It may need some research to expand the list, since there must be more than these…

Breakthrough scientific research reveals people who are feeling sad might want to talk to, or shag, or embrace someone. Who’d have thought that human contact would be useful in combating the blues? Unless you’re in Scotland, in which case you’d just rather get blitzed.

What Craig fails to mention about the Dr Who adventure is the fabulous tiny sweaters! The artiste’s mom seems to be a tiny sweater wiz.

Yeah, so there’s this funny article describing how to boot Linux on a dead badger. The really cool thing, though, is it’s published in a magazine that pays for sf.

Ashcroft’s obscenity czar believes "Just about everything on the Internet and almost everything in the video stores and everything in the adult bookstores is still prosecutable illegal obscenity," so we’re spending millions of dollars going after an industry with huge money and which has therefore previously been supportive of the Republicans (yeah, I’m treating the adult entertainment industry as being indistinguishable from the cable industry, simply because the latter profits from the former). I wonder how many pointless prosecutions it will take before that money starts flowing into Democrats’ campaigns.
