] YELLOW ARROW [NOUN] THE GLOBAL PUBLIC ART PROJECT OF
] LOCAL EXPERIENCES. [VERB] TO LEAVE AND DISCOVER MESSAGES
] POINTING OUT WHAT COUNTS.

Another SMS sticker project. This one involves yellow arrows that point to things and are associated with messages and discussions. This one is better then most previous projects because it doesn't require a high tech phone.

] A better approach might be one that takes aim at
] problematic behavior rather than problematic technology.

I've made this point before. This is a great example of why laws should be about what people do and not about what computers do.

'Daily Show' Personality Gets His Own Platform - New York Times
Topic: Arts 6:42 pm EDT, May  4, 2005

] Stephen Colbert, who plays a phony correspondent on the
] fake-news program "The Daily Show," is getting a real
] promotion.
]
] Comedy Central said yesterday that it was giving Mr.
] Colbert his own show: a half-hour that is expected to
] follow "The Daily Show" on weeknights and will lampoon
] those cable-news shows that are dominated by the
] personality and sensibility of a single host. Think, he
] said, of Bill O'Reilly and Chris Matthews and Sean
] Hannity.
]
] Where "The Daily Show" and its host, Jon Stewart,
] generally spoof the headlines of the day (and the anchors
] and reporters who deliver them), Mr. Colbert's program
] will send up those hosts who have become household names
] doing interviews and offering analyses each night on the
] 24-hour cable news channels. The program, which is
] expected to begin appearing on Comedy Central as soon as
] early fall, is being produced by Mr. Stewart's production
] company, Busboy Productions.

Yeah so think "the talking heads" version of the daily show...

No training wheels needed - New trike bike takes fear out of first solo ride
Topic: Technology 4:22 pm EDT, May  2, 2005

Three Purdue University industrial designers who tapped into memories of their own childhood cycling misadventures have built a bike that ditches the training wheels but keeps rookies stable.

Called SHIFT, it slowly transforms from a tricycle to bicycle configuration as the rider pedals faster, then returns to trike formation as the rider slows down.

COOL! -LB

The Time Traveler Convention - May 7, 2005

] Technically, you would only need one time traveler
] convention. Time travelers from all eras could meet at a
] specific place at a specific time, and they could make as
] many repeat visits as they wanted. We are hosting the
] first and only Time Traveler Convention at MIT in one
] week, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
]
] We need you to help PUBLICIZE the event so that future
] time travelers will know about the convention and attend.
