6/11    Do CSUAers blog?  Why isn't there a csua blogging facility?
        \_ this is something I'd like to see
        \_ plenty of CSUA'ers blog.
           \_ but not on csua?
        \_ blogging is for the unemployed.  why would you want to blog?  it's
           so 2002.
        \_ I set up a blog in the hopes that i would write more, but all i
           ever end up doing is posting links to, and random one line whining
           about, stupid shit there.
           \_ like most 'bloggers'.
           \_ I only use my blog as a web-based repository for research
              material and things I think I might use in stories.
              \_ That's not a blog.  It sounds useful, unlike a blog.
                 \_ Cf. http://diepunyhumans.com
              \_ If that's what use it for, I think a wiki system may work
                 better than a blog.
        \_ csua doesn't need to have a blogging facility.  go install
           movable type or something.  it's easy enough.
           \_ Where is it in the ports tree?

TrackBack 10 A man recovering from a stomach operation had to be rushed back into hospital after his innards "fell out" when his wound burst. George Sternat, of Cairns, Australia, had just had surgical staples removed from his abdomen. Cancer patient Mr Sternat was relaxing in his garden when he screamed out in pain, the AFP news agency reported.

Posted by Warren Ellis at 20 01:15 AM | 21 TrackBack April 29, 2004 22 The first Russian museum of erotica is opening in St. The museum is founded by Igor Knyazkin, the chief of the prostate research center of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Knyazkin told the newspaper that museums of sex and erotica exist in many European countries and he wanted Russia to be a civilized country with a view on the future and with correct views on erotica. There is one exhibit in the museum which makes Knyazkin be especially proud of. This is the 30-centimeter preserved penis of Grigory Rasputin. Contact details etc can be found at the website in the link there. Healthy cells have timers so they only live as long as they are needed. Cancer cells do not have these timers and so can keep on replicating, say researchers from Cancer Research UK, writing in the journal Cell. This interest is a sign of how far Web media such as blogs have come in reshaping the data-collection habits of intelligence professionals and others, even with the knowledge that the accuracy of what's reported in some blogs is questionable. US firm Microvision has developed a system that projects lasers onto the retina, allowing users to view images on top of their normal field of vision. It could allow surgeons to get a bird's eye view of the innards of a patient, offer military units in the field a view of the entire battlefield and provide mechanics with a simulation of the inside of a car's engine. The first generation product, called the Nomad Expert Technician System, consists of a wireless computer and a hi-tech monocle, costing around $4,000. I have observed in my dissolute friends that one of the most dangerous things one can do is straighten out. Douglas Adams dropped dead while working out in the gym, a day after assuring me that I should try it myself. Jerry Garcia succumbed to a heart attack two weeks off dope.

Ms Meester says she made the tiny replica pistol with a piece of skin - 20 centimetres long and four centimetres high - surgically removed from her abdomen. The puckered skin was stretched and sewn over a plastic and fibre pistol mould. Ms Meester said she had the flap of skin removed under local anaesthetic to allow her to make the pistol. Ilarie Coroiu was taken to hospital in the Transylvanian town of Cluj after his girlfriend, Magdalena, 18, "felt something strange" and noticed that the bed was covered in blood. Dr Angela Domocos, head of the accident and emergency department at Cluj General Hospital, said: "It is very rare for this to happen. We call it an exploded penis because it happens when the blood cavities in the penis burst. Posted by Warren Ellis at 79 05:30 PM | 80 TrackBack Matthew Unkenholz found this on 81 a veterinary website. Nothing is more alluring than the impossibility of pinning another person down: this is what fuels fascination, with a love object or with a celebrity. Dylan just pushes it to an almost absurd ne plus ultra, by being impenetrable to the point of an apocalyptic collapse into a black hole, or some other form of uninterpretable nothingness. There is actually no solution to the enigma, because there isn't really anything there at all.

Amazingly, the wooden 5-foot by 5-foot, 6-inch model, on display at the museum until June 5, has proved what has been doubted for centuries: the machine actually moves. It was designed to operate as a robot and could travel for about 40 meters.
