1. Adobe’s Apollo looks to one-up Ajax
   
   A few years back a buzzword was “rich media” which it really wasn’t. Now, Ajax and now Apollo are really getting close. What I’m really jazzed about is Flex Someday all Websites will be of this sort.
2. Motion-sensing comes to mobile phones
   Not sure how this is going to simplify things but I wasn’t sold on the Wii either… at first.
3. Kentucky Senate Bill 152
   “In 2004, the citizens of Kentucky overwhelmingly approved the Marriage Amendment by a vote of 75% to 25%.” Now our elected officials think they know better than the people they are supposed to serve. Remind them how your really feel. Support SB 152.
4. Oden and the mailbag
   For items like the following is why you need to read every Simmons column.

   Q: So in other words, you were handed your lunch by your wife making football picks, proceeded to rave about Miami for six days, ignored the Colts because you’re such a pathetic homer, met Tom Brady, which led to damp stains underneath, then got your ass kicked in a go-kart race by another woman and a cheesy Hollywood schmuck. You just earned pole position as the star of the next Vagina Monologues.

5. Coldplay Scientist
   I just posted about how cool the Mutemath video was, but apparently Coldplay did it first.
