27b/6 - Probably the funniest collection of (fake?) email conversations I've ever read. Literally laughed out reading many of them. They're starting to circulate the Internet, so I thought I might as well hop on that bandwagon.

Charter CEO made $7.4 million last year -
Fail."The Madison area cable provider hasn't been profitable since the company went public in 1999, posted a $2.45 billion loss last year, and constantly ranks at the bottom of most customer satisfaction surveys, but Smit made about twice as much in 2008 as he made in 2007... Charter is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings."

Keyboard Fail
I just noticed this today and laughed pretty hard. How did this pass through Apple q/a?
Both of them appear to do the same thing. Why not one big button? And apparently this isn't a defect with my particular keyboard, as the apple store's website has it pictured this way too.

Twitter is great for watching uninformed panics about the Swine Flu unfold live - On a more serious note is this blog entry from 'University and State', an excellent new blog by UW-Madison grads.
"Hospitals today are not built for treating massive quantities of infectious diseases. They're reflective of chronic sicknesses of current society, not the pre-immunization-era illnesses. It makes financial and operational sense, but it may come back to haunt us."
