Impeachment resolution moves forward …

… with nine republicans voting for it.

Constitutional law in the internet age

Justin: If the privilege of habeas corpus is to be denied to the detainees now before us, Congress must act in accordance with the requirements of the Suspension Clause. Cf. Hamdi, 542 U. S., at 564 (Scalia, J., dissenting) (“[I]ndefinite imprisonment on reasonable suspicion is not an available option of treatment for those accused of aiding the enemy, absent a suspension of the writ”).

Gauging interest: 24 hours webapp contest

I’ve been thinking, recently, how late night programing sessions with a few pals can be a ton of fun. I’ve also been thinking that CONTESTS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE WHO IS REALLY A MAN AND WHO IS A MOUSE.

Tell me your thoughts on this:

A 24 hour webapp contest amongst teams of three or four. The topics are assigned randomly combining topic areas with fun technology: “maps and education” or “social and cycling.” Teams would need to have design, development, database, UI type skillz. At the end of the twenty four hours a panel of judges deliberates and awards the winner with some sort of prize. Hopefully, if the app is sweet enough the prize would be funding to see the project through to completion.

You may have heard of this before: Junkyard Wars.

Thoughts?

Google street view for Richmond is live

The picture for my house is a bit off, but still. How creepy is it that Google took pictures of almost every place in Richmond accessible by road?

Creepy.

SPRING. VEGETABLES.

I need them.

Republicans, I call ye, explain something to me

So I read this new Obama speech on, at all places, The Drudge Report. Apparently it is a “big deal?” I also found the full text on local right wing site Right Side News.

Is this some kind of pwn on Obama? Am I supposed to read this speech and be like “OMG OBAMA IS TEH SUX?”

I guess I just don’t get it. Perhaps you can explain it to me.

I now love the Packers

Not that I hate Brett Favre, I just LOOOOOVE Aaron Rogers. I have been on the Aaron Rogers bandwagon since he passed all over the Hokies in that Insight Bowl that I’d like to forget.

NFL!

Tim Russert: GARRRR!

Whoa crazy squirrel!

Today while walking to work (because I love the Mother Earth) I saw a squirrel make a eight foot jump from a fence to a (quasi) nearby deck. I then said, out loud, to the squirrel “Whoa crazy squirrel!”

A thought occurred to me that by talking to a squirrel, perhaps, I was the crazy one.

Indeed.

Rice Krispies suck

They don’t taste like anything, get soggy quickly, and have a weird texture when they are all clumped up together like little maggots.
