Katrina
Lots of stuff on Katrina at crabwalk.
How Costco Became the Anti-Wal-Mart
Interesting article about Costco from the New York Times.
Cosmic Crash Won’t Destroy Comet or Earth
I just love this headline from SPACE.com. Because you *know* someone thinks it will.
Pogues Posts – New York Times
David Pogue’s blog-like page at the New York Times. He’s one of my favorite tech writers.
Election Dejection
I definitely know a few people who are suffereing from election dejection. Besides this NY Daily News article, there was a piece on NPR last week, plus today’s Opus comic touched on this subject too. I like Opus’ solution: peaches! (I’d link to the strip, but it appears that the Opus strip is not available online. Strange.) Most of the people with this problem are too young to remember Reagan.
Josh Benton
Josh Benton is blogging from Zambia. Some interesting stuff, and a bunch of fairly mundane (but still kind of interesting) stuff.
Space
Wow. I was just looking through the space.com archive of stories about the Columbia mission, pre-disaster. It’s really bittersweet to read about all the stuff they did during the course of their mission. It looks like they had a really busy schedule. There’s even a mention of the anniversary of the Challenger disaster.

Me too.
