Last night, Conservative

MP Monte Solberg blogged from the House of Commons during the vote they held on their phony non-confidence motion.

and mikel.org supporter M-J Milloy, who used to keep an excellent blog called “The New Forum” has resurfaced with a very promising new site: EPIDEMIca, a weblog about infectious disease. From the boilerplate: “Whether emerging diseases like AIDS and SARS or old plagues like tuberculosis and syphilis, infectious diseases are the greatest threat to the health of the people of the world.” One to watch.

Wired News coverage

of the US Court of Appeals decision to strike the FCC order to require manufacturers to limit functionality in devices they sell: Court Nixes ‘Broadcast Flag’. This is very big news, and will likely have an impact on this side of the border as well.

One of my favourite things since intalling Tiger has been the new version of Apple’s web browser, Safari RSS. The RSS stuff is fine, though I’m sticking with NetNewsWire, but what I really like is the speed and integration of Safari, and the fact that you can finally import bookmarks from other browsers. For now, I’ve switched from Firefox, though it’s a close competition between the two.

Wish list for Safari: I would love it if in-page searching was accessed through a search bar integrated into the main browser window, as Firefox does it currently.
