Wow!  Arizona politicians are using outright lies and exageration to justify their crackdown on border security.  I'm glad I've never visited Arizona, and at this rate I never will.

Brewer's mindlessness about headlessness is just one of the immigration falsehoods being spread by Arizona politicians. Border violence on the rise? Phoenix becoming the world's No. 2 kidnapping capital? Illegal immigrants responsible for most police killings? The majority of those crossing the border are drug mules? All wrong.

This sounds like a really useful module for synchronizing content from Evernote. I've been using Evernote off and on, and have it on my phone as well. Its a great tool for taking notes and having them available everywhere. Pulling it all into Drupal parallels what I've been doing with my blog, by pulling in updates from other services, including Flickr, Delicious, and Twitter.

One issue I have with sharing information is the multiplicity of channels. How can I expect that someone will monitor my Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Blip, Digg and Delicious accounts, plus several of my own media channels. And even though there is some integration between these services, as far as I know there's not a single application that provides a centralized method of distributing media, so managing the distribution of the data I want to share requires hooking into multiple interfaces. Even if there was a unified interface, there's then two places to manage that data - your local copy and the copy on the channel, and I feel like it should be possible to reduce this to one. Change it locally, and it changes on the service as well.

A team from my alma mater won the Solar Decathlon Europe, a competition to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses.  The winning design is named Lumenhaus, an 800 square foot home and has a solar array on the roof which which changes to maximize its efficiency.

An exhilarating race from start to finish, some houses fell behind the pack, while a clear group of winners gradually took the lead at the forefront, and now, we are thrilled to finally announce that the winner of this year's Solar Decathlon Europe is Virginia Tech, for their luminous Lumenhaus!
