Lou Dobbs (NYDailyNews):  Using markets to predict future events.  Thumbs up says Lou.  The upside on this flap is that Poindexter is now gone, and all of his foolishness in regards to Total Information Awareness. 1:07:20 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

AskJeeves has been on a wild run on the market.  That may be short-lived given the 200x times earnings multiple.  The shorts on the stock are now up to 20% of the float.  12:56:49 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

I am almost done with the Sharpe series.  Well worth watching.  The acting in the early shows was spectacular (it more than makes up for the low budget effects).   You can get all of the movies on Netflix.  You can also get all of the books at Amazon (here is the list in order -- I really like this feature).

Rutan's XPrize craft (thanks Ole) called SpaceShipOne.  Totally remakes the idea of a spacecraft.  Nice!  Some more pics: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. A visit to Rutan's company site, Scaled Composites, shows how dangerous this business can be. 12:12:11 PM    Comment_ Trackback []
