"MIT Technology Review Online on March 21 retracted two stories written in whole or in part by Michelle Delio, citing the publication's inability to confirm a source. On April 4, InfoWorld

edited four articles by Delio to remove anonymous quotes.

Wired News has published more than 700 news stories written by Delio (under the names Michelle Delio and Michelle Finley) since 2000. In April, we assigned journalism professor and Wired News columnist Adam Penenberg to review recent articles written by Delio for Wired News." (wired)

is worth watching. It's not a particulary deep or well paced  movie but it's the only movie that treat Sallahudin with any amount of respect so far; that should counts for something.

"Hey Jill,
I've been going to the World Press Photo Exhibition for the past 2 years (try real hard not to miss it), and you're right it brings out soo much emotion.... something to recommend to EVERYONE, if its on display in their city..." (Aditi)

I think I've lost my ability to be affected by the visuals of suferring; natural wonder, joy and beauty still do the tricks, but not suffering. But I've long decided to try doing what's right, regardless of my emotional response to stimuli like photographs; so I end up seeing events in a pair of cold calculating eyes.

"Confetti rains down as Wizards star guard Gilbert Arenas celebrates the Game 6 victory. Arenas, who made the game-winning shot in Game 5, had a key block to preserve Friday's 94-91 win." (msnbc)

Yet another dissapointment; We got no champion 'round here.

Paola's in town (and as usual, harrased by the US customs) and we burn the night partying up north in Evanston; The kids at Northwestern pledged they'll come up to Madison next Saturday for Trent's party.

This is the third time she's here and she has never seen the lake. Tomorrrow I'll take her to the secret places that the lake only reveal after you've run the path a million times.

I had coffee with Sheila yesterday who stopped by Chicago to get her visa to China. She's leaving today for Shanghai.

She asked why I didn't have a weblog on nomadlife and I have to admin it caught me off guard. There is no particular reason really except that I've had this dodyg.org domain name for 3 years and it didn't make any sense for me to move again.

And once nomadtracker is entering beta (still looking for some spare time to put into it), it doesn't really matter where you host your weblog, we will be able to track your updates on nomadlife.org.

"Conservative lawmakers in Kuwait's Parliament on Tuesday created a constitutional roadblock that effectively killed a measure that would have allowed women to participate in city council elections for the first time. Hours later, the elections were called for June 2." (NYTimes)

I'm so fucking angry to witness something stupid like this still can happen in 2005. What a bunch of assholes.

stands for Girls Relationship Management software, a system that allow a guy to securely keep track of their dates, targets, flings and various form of relationship with the opposite sex and keep track of their favourite clubs, restaurants, likes, dislikes, birthdays, stereotypes, friends and other intimate details;

Digs and I worked the specs over a year ago when he was still in San Francisco and it has been sitting in the dust for all this time waiting for an opportune moment to be realized.

Would you use this type of online software?
