BBC NEWS | Europe | Pope ‘distorting condom science’. Wow, this story reads like Science taking on Faith in some kind of jousting match with the Lancet literally taking point. This is another test, this time of the current “Press it!” bookmarklet from the iPhone. It brought the link into the post just fine, but the keyboard doesn’t engage. Meanwhile, it works in the HTML edit screen, but the category list has no way to scroll down, and it’s cut off after the first few categories. More tinkering is called for. Meanwhile, this all-too fallible Pope had better stick to…

With deals in bloom, spring could be lively time for flights to Europe – USATODAY.com This is a test of an old Blog This! bookmarklet that brought this link into a barebones posting form. It dates from a year or more ago and was lurking in the bookmarks section of the copy of Safari. Needs work to resize or perhaps add the Minipost plugin checkbox.

As seen at Pam’s House Blend:: The American Family Association has nothing better to do than harrass Pepsico: Here’s four good reasons I’m going to buy more Pepsi products… no, make that five good reasons.

Both HRC and PFLAG supported efforts in California to defeat Proposition 8 which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. HRC, which received $500,000 from Pepsi, gave $2.3 million to defeat Proposition…

This cartoon via Salon by Keith Knight covers all the essential points about what makes Utah (specifically Salt Lake) “Funique.” Weird liquor laws (which are going away July 1), extremely rowdy, drunk crowds in bars due to either weird liquor laws or everybody acting out to spite the Majority Religion, and FRY SAUCE! Some long-delayed props to Salt Lake by the K Chronicles.

One of the few things holding me back from blogging links more often is that I’m limited to using the iPhone during work hours, and there didn’t seem to be a way to easily blog a link to a web page without a huge amount of tedium. That is, until I realized that Twittelator Pro used javascript in a bookmark to set up a link for easy Tweeting… and I remembered the WordPress 2.7 Press It! bookmarklet also uses javascript to grab a URL, page title, and text, and then it sets up a new post with the link all…

What with one thing and another, its a good time to refinance, plus apparently were part of a trend according to the President. So some guy by the name of Vlad is coming over to appraise the house for the mortgage company. Thats right, its an obvious joke, but still we laughed.

I started a post with the new version of WP for iPhone yesterday with an image, but it didnt publish. Theres a known bug with images, and the post was shown with a little locked icon before it disappeared. Guess well wait on the bugfix before uploading images directly from the phone, rather than via Flickr.

An executive at work today was visiting in the rows of agents and mentioned that she’s acquainted with the commander of the current Space Shuttle mission, Col. Lee Archambault. Discovery is currently docked with the International Space Station. She also mentioned that she’d watched the combined orbital craft cross the sky overhead last night, and that it would make the transit over our area at about 734pm tonight, too. And she was right: Human Space Flight (HSF) – Sightings ***** Schaumburg ***** SAT DATE/TIME Duration/Degrees Elevation/From/Towards ISS Thu Mar 19/07:34 PM 3 39 36 above NW 11 above NE ISS…
