Happened today in San Jose:
"An employee and customer of a strip mall bakery suffered broken legs Tuesday morning when a car crashed into the store.", reports KRON4 news. "Police believe she hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal as she pulled into the parking lot at Saratoga Square strip mall, where the bakery is located."

So, you wanted to upgrade your browser? Firefox 1.5 came out just an hour ago! Download it here:
Hopefully, the memory leaks are fixed (Tekno wants to leave his firefox open overnight...).
And, after you have downloaded the very new firefox 1.5, don't forget to try
this First Person Shooter Game
that is pure HTML and doesn't work with any other
browser yet, except Firefox 1.5. It's based on the "Canvas" tag.
I was watching (well, listening to) KRON4 news and just a few minutes ago, it
announced that
Sam, the world's ugliest dog,
died
at 14.

Something really cool happened to me today. We wanted to have an early lunch at Chelokababi restaurant in Sunnyvale. We got there at 12:30 and they said they would open at 1:00pm. Since we didn't want to wait there for half an hour (and we really wanted to have Persian food), I pulled my little Sanyo 8600 out of my pocket and fired up its Google Local application I had downloaded a few days ago. A search for "Persian Restaurants in Sunnyvale" displayed a list of them and their locations graphically pinned on the map.
Even better, we called a friend who wanted to join us. He suggested "Negin" restaurant but nobody had any clue where they are or what their contact information is. I typed "Negin" this time and guess what - the engine not only corrected my spelling, but also showed the exact location of the restaurant along with the directions to it and its contact phone number. We called them, made sure they were open and reserved our table. Pretty cool, ain't it?

Live.com: your page, the way you want it.
Windows Live is a pretty neat web portal. Nice features include:
- Drag and drop content customization (of course) and visual interface
- Ability to add RSS feeds through their URLs as well as predefined ones
- Microsoft Gadgets support.
It's amazing how much a little CSS/Javascript/XML combination can do.
Live.com is very new that they don't even have an "About" page.
