NewsForge | Feed your funny bone with open source comic strip aggregation software - "Sure, you could just pick up a newspaper or visit a Web site to read your favourite comic strips. But what if you paper doesn't carry all of your favorites? What if you're traveling and don't want to miss a day? In that case, you can turn to an open source application to collect and (re)post online comic strips. " 10:28:21 AM

Yahoo has rolled out a beta video search that finds just that video you were looking for.  The search page is http://video.search.yahoo.com/.  For something interesting, try searching for CALI conference video from 2001.  Pretty cool, except I broke the links yesterday when I moved the conference pages from one server to another:(  Well, at least I know what I'll be doing this morning... Update: I fixed the links for the time being.  Turns out that the links for 1999 are systemically broken anyway.  Anyway, the video that turns up on Yahoo! is now linked through. 9:07:39 AM
