Welcome to Larry Town.

From a Brian I know.

Found planted firmly (snicker) on someone’s front porch by my sister and brother-in-law. Clicky here for the photographic evidence.

Better plump up those brains…do it with NEWSISH:

• UI police will be armed – I agree with most of Nick Johnson’s thoughts on the subject.
• Regents ok corporate naming – Again, see Nick Johnson for more insight
• Cinematic Titanic – This is extremely welcome news. I signed up for the newsletter.
• Do Not Track List – Everywhere you go online means money for someone, whether you know it or not.
• Internet access tax moratorium extended another seven years – followup from previous newsish
• There’s a city election coming. – Remember that you can vote early at these locations.
• Iowa City Council Candidates Consider Impact of 21 Bar Referendum – Mr. Deeth takes stock of the 21@10 situation.
• Evolving clocks – via HogBlog
• 720p? 1080i? OU812? – Wired does the new TV formats.

Today’s vocab word: plenipotentiary

I haven’t the time to explain it to you, you just have to trust me. Now go, and take your newsish:

• The case of the missing CableCARD-ready set-top box
• President Colbert? Then who’s the VP, Carell or Stewart? Or Pappa Bear?
• House Votes to Extend Internet Tax Ban – Senate, you’re up.
• Coralville getting more retail – A ‘Galleria’ next to the mall? The comments in the article are intriguing.
• Mid-American franchise for IC moves forward – Good, bad? I have not a clue.
• Remember, Iowa Citians/Johnson Countonians: You can vote by mail [absentee] very, very easily.
• Read what one of your Iowa Senators is doing.
• Clapton Shreds!
  
  More on the author of the above piece.
• Second Earth
• F*&# the FCC: Appeals Court upholds FCC anti-line-sharing rules – For all the bruhaha about competition, the FCC sure does alot to stifle it. Be sure to read the comments on the article, some real gems and priceless links.
