congressmen with too much time

Doesn't Congress need to pass a budget? How about some kind of Sept.
11-report/homeland legislation? Medicare? Social Security? Campaign
finance?

Naah. We don't need any of that stuff.

But some Congressional idiot from Indiana thinks we need to spend time and
money href="http://www.hoosiergazette.com/News/Nov2004/news003.htm">renaming
Interstate 69
.

Seriously, there must a waiting list at the Canadian border these days...

web cam jam

The web cam is not having
a very good time lately. It basically doesn't update correctly. It seems
to be blind; it loses track of daylight (the only time it is supposed to
update is during daylight) and it randomly gets stuck re-uploading the
same image over and over.

Options:

1. Replace computer. The system running the web cam is a four-year-old
iBook. I'm not inclined to spend a lot on a computer that's only task is
to sit in a closet by a window and upload photos to the server.

2. Replace camera. It's an Apple iSight ($150 each) and it might be worth
it to try a different one.

3. Give up on the web cam and try some other kind of online experiment.

Web cams, afterall, were a novelty in 1999.

Something to sleep on, which is what I'm going to go do now.
