What's in a name? For one thing how popular it is. Turns out Anthony is the 22nd most common name according to the 1990 census. Of course I know of only one other Anthony, and that was a friend of a friend. Chris and Matthew on the other hand seem to be all over the place, I easily know at least half a dozen of each personally.

So how much is the Iraqi war REALLY costing the US? Well at least only another year and a half before we can get a sane president.

And finally a cool new helpful feature with Google, adding a tilde (that squiggly thing that looks like this: ~) to a word searches for that word as well as its synonyms. Once again if they weren't in Silicon Valley, they'd be my dream company. They even name their buildings (0, 1, pi, e, and now phi) after mathematical terminology! How cool is that?!?!
