From Slashdot:
"Come Monday, no more Indiana University searches will be powered by computer-driven Google. Only by people-powered ChaCha. The move was announced by new IU President Michael McRobbie, who until recently sat on ChaCha's Board of Directors. IU will draft hundreds of librarians and IT employees to be ChaCha Guides for the university's websites, although a FAQ accompanying IU's press release tells librarians not to expect any checks for their efforts from ChaCha, which IU notes is backed by Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Compaq founder Rod Canion." >[link]
Oh yeah. That's going to go over well. (emphasis mine)
ETA: This sounds like a reverse of the movie "The Desk Set".
Jessica, that cut is of the awesome! And I'm going to agree with cutenss of said baby.
"Mordorable" sounds sort of Sauron-like.
Great haircut and adorable baby. (And I see you've got an Amby. Best baby invention ever, IMHO.)
You look wonderful, Jessica. Mommyhood clearly suits you. Cute baby too.
The cynical side of me notes that the Republican National Convention is in Minneapolis next summer.
I hope it works in your favor and something happens quickly.

Cute AND evil, just the way we like 'em.
Cute new cut, Jessica, and you have a super cute baby too!
What is everyone doing today?
We're going to a movie, going to dinner, and then going to the market.
Jessica and Raq, thanks for the perspective...I may still give in.
Jessica, CUTE hair! Love it!
I am officially sick of being sick. I have barely gotten out of the house since I came home from IL, and I just got out of bed for today. And I'm still exhausted, coughy, and feverish. Mom's concerned about the still-having-a-fever, so if I still have it tomorrow, I'm supposed to go to urgent care. Blech. I don't like urgent care.
Happy Birthday to Fred Pete! May you be properly spoiled.
Life plan, I had many but life always chose another plan so I gave up planning.
What is everyone doing today?
I am still in my jammies in bed. Going downstairs to make coffee now. I am determined this week to get the boys out of the house and doing something that doesn't involve computers or video controllers. I don't exactly set a good example here. To the great outdoors! (hugs laptop)
Good morning afternoon, vw. One more day of rest and lots of fluids and you'll be all better. Boo, urgent care!

I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. Also, I'm missing an opera today, for which I am REALLY disappointed.
