Cheney's left foot
Dick Cheney is having problems with his left foot. He's walking with a cane, and is showing up for work wearing a comfie moccasin on it. According to Reuters: Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride would not give specifics of the vice president's ailing left foot but said it was a recurrence of a condition that was being treated with rest and anti-inflammatory medicine.

Each strip should be exactly 4" when you print it out. Note: Since this required me adding in increments or $0.24, it is undoubtedly error-riddled. If so, could you please let me know so I can fix it? Thanks. [Tags: postalrates... From Joho the Blog on January 8, 2006 at 8:48 p.m..

What is a folksonomy anyway?
After poking around at Thomas Vander Wal's site and writings (1 2) and at Wikipedia, it turns out that I think I'm wrong about what "folksonomy" means. (And, yes, I've poked around both before.) Thomas seems to call a folksonomy any set of uncontrolled tags (no prior taxonomy, no controlled vocabulary) done by individuals and posted in public. Thomas likes the term especially if the taggers are supplying tags that make sense to them as individuals, rather than suggesting ones they think will work socially. I assume that means that he thinks that if (oddly) there were absolutely From Joho the Blog on January 8, 2006 at 8:48 p.m..

For a Safer Mine, Try More Training
From Week in Review in today's New York Times: "There are mines that have been in operation for 20 or 30 years and have not had explosions."
