Wow, Obama chooses judge who knows stuff

This Wired article about new Spreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor is interesting, as it runs through her experience with cyberlaw. Looks like she knows more than this judge.

Our website, MelbinNoir, is coming along. I figured out how to utilise the Headline and Feature section, and the category browsing, so that's good. I'm a bit nervous about the pitch this afternoon, but it should be ok I suppose.

Looking at the other groups' sites, Chocrocks and UpUrAlley, and I'm pretty impressed. Its looking really good. I like the Chocrock graphic, and how the site seems to be all things chocolate, not just a directory. And I like how UpUrAlley have the 'new to the site' thing, which we've not figured out yet. I'm looking at some 'login-log out' plugins at the moment for Noir.

I was talking to my friend who is a jazz muso, and he didn't like the name of our site, he didn't get the MelbIN thing. I'm worried this might be a problem. Still getting the hang of the categories too, at this stage the front page menu is not discrete enough yet, there needs to be a better way of filtering the categories.

Linky goodness

I quite liked this article at the Inquisitr responding to Nick Cohen saying the BBC is more trustworthy than bloggers. Haha, good one Cohen. And one I should probably use: Wired's Eliot Van Buskirk reported on a new Mac OS App called 'SelfControl' that blocks your access to "time wasing" computer activities like checking emails, Twitter and Facebook. There's probably a whole post in there somewhere about snobbery and social networking, what constitutes 'real' behaviour and what is just 'silly online stuff', but I'm sure you've heard enough out of me.
