I feel a tiny TINY bit bad for those awesome sites who’ve long maintained archives of public domain literature (Gutenberg, C.U.T., and this UK library to name a few), because now they’ve got some serious competition.

Macworld shares the happy OO news.
Microsoft Office alternative, OpenOffice, will ship in a native version for OS X next month.
You have NO IDEA how happy this makes me. It’s soo difficult for me to run OO on my mac, because NeoOffice and running X11 take up too many resources and slow everything down. NeoOffice [...]
I don’t care much for reality tv. In fact, I pretty much hate it. Yup. But this opinion on the “Racial” Survivor show was funny and intelligent:

I don’t know why I didn’t see this before now (it’s been two whole days!) but, according to lots of news sources (news.google) google opened up Writely for general registration!

I thought I knew what that meant… I’m a good writer, confident in my ability to be professional and clear… direct and concise… I asked a client a question [...]
I’m sort of proud of this. Just wanted to let you know that some “reporters” actually do listen to people who write to them to inform them that no oats were “abused.”
I suppose he was trying to be funny, but his articles are syndicated as “news” so I didn’t really look too closely at his [...]
First, let’s resolve some FAQs:
No aliens were harmed in the making of this crop circle.
No farmers or land owners were harmed in the making of this crop circle. (we had PERMISSION!)

Crushing oats with 2×4s in both 2am freezing cold temperatures and broad-daylight HOT SUN is… really NOT how I expected to spend a weekend evar in my life. I’m sunburned for the first time since I moved from hawaii, and I’ve got OATS. hehheheh.
