1. How a cockroach got 30 people fired. It's good to be the king ...
2. Lesson from the Heathrow baggage snafu -- don't upgrade both your redundant systems at the same time.
3. That River certainly is a creepifying girl.
4. Using Google Spreadsheets to run a survey. I might have to try this.
5. Blogger gets fired for having a blog. Corporate myopia, employee naiveté, or both?
6. The risks and costs of using the Internet as your hard drive. That remains, honestly, why I keep so much of my online stuff on my own domain (where, if it goes away, it's probably my fault). Though, even there, I still host my mail on Google ...
7. Satellite spotting sounds like a fun hobby -- even if (or perhaps because) it causes the government security fits.
8. Now that security has made air travel even more miserable (and perhaps lethal), let's start ruining train travel, too.
9. I didn't do an obit for Steve Lieber Steve Gerber because, honestly, I was never much of a Howard the Duck fan. Thundarr the Barbarian, on the other hand ... (via Scott)
10. Exporting contacts from Outlook to Gmail is a fine idea -- except that it doesn't transfer snail-mail addresses. *sigh* 
11. One of the coolest things about the Internet is that if Katherine is trying to sing along to the lyrics to a favorite TV show, I can probably find the text for her online. Of course, it's usually transcribed, and so subject to individual interpretations.
12. Disney's Night Kingdom? If it saves the Adventurer's Club from oblivion, I'll fork over my money.

I couldn't figure out who this Steve Lieber was. Then I realized you meant Steve Gerber. Waugh! This is the first I've heard of his passing.

I'm bummed now.

Yep, a couple of weeks ago Avo...I should have sent you the notice instead of sending it to Dave. Who, while he loved the movie, did not read the comic.

And yes, it's Gerber.

Hrm. Yes, it is. Sorry, Steve.

On the other hand, while it sucks to be for a blog, it beats being thrown in prison for one.

Given the flailing about that Disney has done in trying to turn its Pleasure Island area of Downtown Disney (Walt Disney World) into a popular (but not teen-hangout-friendly) area, this... ...
