Damian Conway : "The NEXT pseudoclass solves this problem,
because a call to $self->NEXT::AUTOLOAD(@args) means "continue with the original look-up search that caused the current method to be selected". By continuing the original look-up, rather than starting a new one that's restricted to the current package's ancestrals (as $self->SUPER::AUTOLOAD(@args) does), NEXT allows for the possibility of backtracking to classes on other branches of the inheritance tree if necessary."

Libby Miller : Generate RDF from your Palm Datebook file
"The idea of this demo is that you can upload your palm datebook files to an RDF database to be merged with other calendar files, without syncing your palm or changing any of the data. Private files will not be uploaded. This demo generates rdf descriptions of any events in the Palm datebook which happen today." see also :

Mark Steyn : "Let's compare Mr. Day with another boob
widely jeered at by the Canadian Liberal establishment: George W. Bush, the U.S. President mocked by Jean Chrétien as The Man Who Doesn't Know Where Prince Edward Island Is. But Dubya has the courage of his moronicness: He's cheerfully insouciant about his ignorance of PEI's map co-ordinates. More to the point, he's not so pathetic that, if a Globe reporter suggested to him that P.E.I. was just south of Hawaii, he'd rush to agree and claim that he'd whiled away his childhood reading about Anne of Green Gables in her grass skirt amusing the natives of Avonlulu with her hula-hula dance. When Bush makes a "gaffe" -- media-speak for a matter that no normal person cares a whit about -- he shrugs it off. After he was overheard calling a New York Times reporter a "major-league asshole" ... he declined to apologize to the guy on the reasonable grounds that he meant it."
