Testicular Self Examination, I received a handout for this when Canadian Cancer Society had a lunch-time booth @ the IBM TO Lab @ 8200 Warden. Testicular cancer is not common, but the most common cancer in men 15 to 49 yrs. Will need to remember to self examine regularly.

I just watched the documentary on TVO about the owner of above linked website. TV is evil, but I am so glad I turned it on for this. If you have not seen it, do! I am so happy to be a member of the same race, humanity, as this Dr. Dunc fellow.

CNN.com – Surprise asteroid nearly hits home – June 21, 2002 trips me out. It was spotted a few days after impact almost occurred. The article tries to calm people by saying that the path of this particular asteriod has now been calculated several decades into the future. My concern is all the other asteriods out there.
A recall an assertion from a couple of years ago that Humanity scans ~ 3% of the sky. Intuitively, detection is not very likely. Even if detected, we have no defenses prepared. The worlds political climate could not support the 80s Star Wars pipe dream. Ironically, considering now are technology is far superiour. The above article references the following sites: NEO (Near Earth Objects) and NASA’s LINEAR (Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research). To be checked out.
Ironically and hilariously, I received an email from SETI@home, letting me know that I have not contributed since Dec 18, 2000. I stopped when I found out they closed the source. I do have to get on a project to use my computer cycles. I unsubscribed from SETI@home with easy — project is not so bad 
A seemily excellent netizen, Nathanial Hendler, emailed me regarding my search for a good URL mngmnt program, suggesting Active PHP Bookmarks (APB) appears to be a jewel of a Web Based URL/Bookmark Managment tool. The project site also wisely lists some of the competition. Seems that it would be worthwhile to examine at least APB, and Bookmarks4U.
Nathanial’s signiture included a link to (I imagine his site) retards.org — pretty cool. This fellow appears to be a real web junk, and uber netizen.
Just was on the fone with Boris, and he said some good things about Energizer Rechargeables and how long they are lasting between charges. I go through batteries rapid fire. I have used recharg batteries on and off over the years. I am not surprised that they are getting way better, considering with fossil fuel burn up (pun intented) battery technology and other alternate sources are finally getting far more attention.
LindowsOS backs off its claim to run most Microsoft apps. Is anyone surprised. Marketing spin is one thing, but in the aggressive/confusing OS and software markets, any company making any false claims related to Linux, is doing the Linux and OSS communities a disfavor. Particularly when the claims are so “grandiose”.
