The Internet in Your Pocket?

I was traveling yesterday so I tried to sign up for the iPhone Tech Talk on my iPhone yesterday and I couldn't log in.  If I purposefully typed in a bad password it would tell me but with the right credentials it would just drop me back to the login screen.

Maybe somebody who did register can ask the Uber-Genius' how they managed to make their site not work for iPhone's Safari.  It'd be nice if I could have used another browser, but oh wait, that's not allowed...

Meet me halfway

Not that inane, but I suppose it is if you build an entire business around it.  The site, www.meetways.com let's you find a halfway meeting point.  It needs to have other ways of calculating halfway, such as by car, by public transit, on foot, yadda, yadda.  It also needs to support having more than 2 people.  So that a group of people can meet in a fairly central location.

It also should have some kind of integration with a invite service, so that it chooses a location based on who's going to attend.  Hmm, now I think I have a business that's not inane.

Nuclear Disarmament

I think we should just start unilaterally getting rid of them. What better example of leadership would there be than that?

What's the downside?

Am I missing something?

The existence of our 10,000 warheads obviously doesn't deter Al Queda from anything. They would probably like nothing better than for us to use a "tactical" weapon. I can't imagine a scenario where we would actually drop them on anybody else. We've already proven that we have the most effective military on the planet.

Obama and McCain seem to generally agree on this topic but Obama only addresses the issue page 8 of his defense fact sheet PDF. McCain talks about it on his website but both camps maintain that we will maintain an effect nuclear deterence.

Wireless mouse recommendations?

Anyone have a wireless mouse recommendation? Mac-compatible. I got the wireless keyboard + "Mighty Mouse" with my new 'puter, and the mouse sucks. Well, it's good for everything except clicking.

Doogie Howser gone evil?

Its not Chitty Chitty, but this really appeals to me.

Behold Dr Horrible!

I was trying to remember if this was the first piece of internet video that made me smile. I couldn't think of any others.
