May Scott Walker's Tribe Increase!

I don't know a lot about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, but what I do know I like. Finally, someone who is willing to stand up to unions and to the President of the United States who is inserting himself into a state government's business. Walker told Obama to mind his own business and focus his efforts on balancing the budget in Washington before trying to tell a state government how to manage its budget affairs. Way to go, dude! I wish I had time to say more about this, but work presses.

Wanna' Move to England?

Let's move to England, buy one of these closed Anglican churches currently for sale, and remodel it into a home (complete with permanent grounds crew -- at least until the last trump sounds):

Google's new Art Project applies streetview technology to the great art museums of the world -- view the masterpieces down to the level of minute brush strokes.

A video explaining the project is here, with examples. The Google Art Project web site is here.
