 ni3. Dann Sheridan's new site is up (how does he find the time with a new baby in the house). The entire site is CSS using Radio (he had to do some rework on Radio's macros to pull this off). Congrats. Looks great.

Boston Globe. A good review of a neo-con patriarch: Richard Pipes. He was one of the intellectual architects of the Reagan administration's strategy of confrontation with the Soviet Union. He had some choice bits to say:
He bluntly dismisses the promise of a democratic Iraq -- "impossible, a fantasy" -- citing obstacles similar to Russia's. "Democracy requires, among other things, individualism -- the breakdown of old clannish, tribal organizations, the individual standing face-to-face with the state. You don't have that in the Middle East. Iraq is tribally run."
It is not lost on Pipes that his criticism goes directly to the judgment of the Bush team, conservatives like himself, in some cases former colleagues, most prominently Team B's own Wolfowitz. "Paul didn't have much education in history," Pipes says. "It's not his field. He was educated as a military specialist, a nuclear weapons specialist. Like most scientists, he doesn't have a particular understanding of other cultures."

Here is a small WiFi repeater from D-Link. Unfortunately, it only works with D-Link hubs right now. Very close to what I need. All they need to do now is make it look like a nightlight that plugs into a wall socket. Drop the ethernet port, keep the USB port for firmware upgrades, and put a wall plug in the back.
