11 Siwan 5766 * 7 June 2006: Daniel Boone Day

Greetings.

Worthy cause of the day: “Moby on Network Neutrality”.

Useful site of the day: MyZmanim.com - Instant Zmanim for Anywhere in the World! (This calculates times relevant to Jewish practice.)

Today’s news and commentary, some of which Barry is responsible for:

• “Fake Happy Families Sell Homes”
  
• “The Refugees of Zer'in”
  
• “Our Modern World—Weirder by the Minute ”
  
• “Boat People”
  
• “Moms-to-be delay births on June 6, 2006”
  
• “Hell shines in its apocalyptic moment in the sun”
  
• “Victorian Rock Music”
  
• “Worm-inspired robot crawls through intestines”
  
• “Aw, isn't he cute?”
  
• “Connecticut City Takes First Step to Evict in Eminent Domain Case” (Boo! Anyone who believes in such a misuse of immanent domain deserves to have his/her home seized by the government to make way for a strip mall.)
  
• “Keeping an Eye on the Snoops”
  
• “The worst bill you’ve never heard of”

Today’s weird thing is “Transportation Futuristics : A Presentation of the Harmer E. Davis Transportation Library”. See all the flying cars and other modes of transport we were supposed to have by now but never quite made it. Enjoy.
