The Rowing Song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a–blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a–glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

Governor rethinks pledge due to budget woes ::: no surprise that he's reniging, but cutting school funding so soon?
Newsom and the democrats win SF ::: but after calling in all the heavy hitters, he only managed a 6 point lead. I'd say this is really a victory to the Green party and a wakeup call to the democratic party that they are loosing touch with a large number of constituents.

Free World Dialup - by pulver.com ::: the free voip provider - but no access to the regular phone world.
FREE IP Calling with IPKall ::: i don't understand how they are funding, but this service will issue a washington state phone number to your sip. now regular phone users can call your sip - as if it was a washington phone. interesting. they also mention the ability to outdial - but i think this must be a subscription aspect.
Viper Networks ::: these guys make some interesting usb to voip products, including an adapter and usb handset.
