More on Liz Murray
Monday, April 21, 2003
Last night the Liz Murray movie, "Homeless to Harvard," replayed on Lifetime. According to my traffic logs, it boomed during and after the movie, all with people searching for more information about her.
Since it seems that my site is now the most popular non-news site when people are searching for information about Liz Murray, her story, and why she dropped out of Harvard, I'm going to try and get in contact with her and get answers to the questions we are all wondering - what is she doing now, and why did she quit Harvard?
I'll post whatever reply I get here, of course.
Quick Picks
- From the Washington Post: A simplified chart of the McCain tax cuts vs. Obama tax cuts.
- Matt Damon on Sarah Palin: "You do the actuary tables, there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term, and it'll be President Palin. It's like a really bad Disney movie, "The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd." Amen!
- Google's new browser, Chrome, passes the ACID2 test with flying colors. w00t.
- Karl Rove calls Joe Biden a "big blowhard doofus". Yeah, coming from the closest thing to a real-life Emperor Palpatine that really stings. LOL.
- McCain's running mate has a pregnant and unwed 17 year old daughter. Family values indeed!
- Command line to GUI to command line. And so we've coming full circle: Mozilla introduces Ubiquity, a mash up command line for the web.
- What's the best part about Fox News at the DNC? THIS is the best part! The crowd chanting "Fuck Fox News" at the end of it made my bad day turn around!
- China's Olympic gymnasts may not be old enough to compete. "Shocking" that China is cheating again. It happened in the Sydney Olympics, too. CHEATERS!
- Coolest video you'll see today: Space Shuttle launch recorded from an airplane.
