K.I.S.S.
Jakob Nielsen uses quite a few words to say: keep your message simple and short, and people will read it!
I think both short messages and long essays have their place. I like to read, and I assume my readers like it, too. Sometimes I like to read one-liners. Other times I prefer book-length essays. I write as I like to read, if not as well.
That said, Nielsen has a good point. People are used to thinking verbosity signifies authority. It doesn't. As my old math teacher used to say: brevity signifies mastery.

I am now officially Fair and Balanced ™
Yup, of course I jumped on the bandwagon, a collective blog bashing of Fox.

Google is god
Google also has a built-in calculator. Type a simple math expression into the search field and it will calculate the result for you.
Bah, it can't solve equations.
PS: But try to search for gogool, and you'll see the calculator pop up. These google people have a great sense of humour.

Worm abound
The MSBlast (W32/Lovsan.worm and W32.MSBlaster) worm is spreading all across the net right now, and it appears to be the real thing. It exploits a vulnerability in the Windows NT family (2K, XP) Run WindowsUpdate regularly to avoid such problems.
Wonder if this explains the radio blog server being crappy and unresponsive today, too?
PS: I just went into windowsupdate, and for the first time ever it gave me "server too busy."
