Wow. That’s pretty awesome. It would be more awesome if it happened several years ago — arguably Java is getting less and less important in the programming world as the years go by. But it’ll be cool, for example, to get Java goodies better integrated with Linux.

Psyched Out Social Worker
More than one member of my family has done social work, and it’s its own special brand of interesting. Through one of them I was directed to Psyched Out Social Worker, a personal day-to-day life blog by “Psyche” — a social worker dealing with the needs of the mentally ill — with thoughts about the people she meets and treats and the ups and downs of her job. Just got started, but good stuff.
Just A Touch of Bleak Pessimism At A Time of Rejoicing
OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE HAS JUST BEGUN – Yahoo! News
Points out that despite the opposition holding power in the legislature, Bush has already been granted dictatorial powers, and plans for concentration camps in America have been approved and are underway (courtesy of Halliburton).
On the upside — I seriously believed that Republican fraud in voting machines and vote counting machines and procedures would be enough to guarantee a stranglehold on the legislature. I was wrong. Things weren’t that bad. (Or if they are that bad whoever’s in charge of it isn’t a Republican…)
So perhaps something good can be done about this stuff too.

Phix??
Holy crap. Wapsi Square keeps slipping in obscure references — in today’s strip one of the Chimera Girls mentions what must be the Library of Alexandria, and mentions that “Phix would watch over me there.” Phix is the name used for the Sphinx by Hesiod, who is one of the oldest Greek writers. They just keep throwing in stuff like this! It rocks.
I’m sure there were folks who knew about the Yonaguni Monument who reacted the same way to this strip.
Update: Phix is totally hot. Hope she doesn’t kill Monica.
