If you want to be part of setting a Guinness World Record (turns out it had nothing to do with beer; go figure), today’s the day. The good folk over at Mozilla are trying to set a record for the most software downloads in 24 hours with the official release of FireFox 3. So get over there and start clicking (after 10 AM, PDT).
This just in: Tim Russert is still dead.

Students in the D.C. school voucher program, the first federal initiative to spend taxpayer dollars on private school tuition, generally did no better on reading and math tests after two years than public school peers, a U.S. Education Department report said yesterday.

The report comes at a politically perilous moment for the program. Congressional Democrats, led by D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, want to phase it out, arguing that it drains money and other resources from public schools.

Good one, Travis.
Maron had a good riff about MySpace last year. I think someone quoted it here but I am not sure where to find it.
Oh, I found it…
after the earth is a dead wasteland, aliens come to get scrap metal. they unearth some harddrives, found myspace, and joked to each other that this was a planet full of millions of people, everyone of which thought he/she was important…and, amazingly, the women reached the age of one hundred with no apparent signs of aging!
