Pictures taken today at St Augustine Beach, FL. Life is good. 

I love my Nikon CoolPix 3200, it's like a Brownie for the 21st century, but sometimes its user interface confuses me and instead of taking a photo, I take a Quicktime movie. For example, here's one I took in one of the BloggerCon classrooms at Stanford. And here's another taken on a trail in Shenandoah National Park.  

John Battelle outlines the conference he's running Oct 5-7 in SF. 

AP: "She said she was going down to George Boudreaux's store and have him whip up some of that butt paste."  

Buttpaste.Com: "It's not just for diaper rash anymore!" 

Bush: "We say to those tyrants who believe they can blackmail America and the free world: 'You fire, we're going to shoot it down.'"  

Okay, let's play it out. Suppose Kim Jong Il, the Dear Leader of North Korea, was listening. So he fires a missle at Tokyo and then goes on TV as the missile is launched and says "We fired. Shoot it down." That would be funny except a lot of Japanese would die because we don't have any way to shoot the damned thing down.  

Time: "Kerry has offered only vague criticisms and an increasingly implausible promise to lure our allies into the chaos."
