The future of Pyra Labs :: Dotcom Scoop :: Business news, commentary, rumors & gossip
Robert Loch thinks Evan has a shot of making this thing work:
From where I’m sitting Pyra Labs has a wonderful opportunity to build upon their base, and turn themselves into a really successful company for the long term. In crazier times, analysts might have valued them at $20 to $50 million. However, in today’s market up starts need to really prove their worth, and do so to an almost unreasonable degree, before they are taken seriously.
Pyra, in my opinion, deserves to be taken very seriously. They have a community of 400,000 websites, everything about their set up is positively compounding in nature, and they have limited direct competition.

BBC News | MUSIC | Sir Paul stops Hey Jude lyrics auction
He says it went missing from his home sometime about 1969; he did have break-ins at the time. Meanwhile, Christie’s has a great suggestion:
He also suggested that if it had such great personal value then Sir Paul should bid for it himself at auction in case he later loses the right to keep it.
Terrific! Then, we’ll steal his car and make him pay to get that back too!

AP Wire | 04/29/2002 | H.S. Student in Bosnia Kills Teacher
He shot another teacher as well, then himself, fatally. I’m certainly no expert on school shootings — nor do I have any desire to be — but something just struck me. The student in Germany last week also concentrated on teachers, while American school shooters tend — in my recollection — to go after their fellow students. I don’t know if that means anything.

Yahoo! News - Gary Glitter May Face Deportation From Cambodia
The Cambodian minister who says she might request deportation is, oddly, the “Minister for Women’s Affairs”. They have a government agency for that now?
Sorry, that was a cheap joke; I still don’t understand why Glitter (who was convicted of kiddy-porn possession in Britain) comes under her purview. Though we can be pretty sure why Gary was there:
Cambodia’s weak judicial system and lax law enforcement have in recent years made the impoverished Southeast Asian country a haven for pedophiles and child sex tourists.

Dumb and Dumler
CNN.com - Teen arrested in prom poison punch plot - April 29, 2002
Robert David Dumler, 15, was arrested Friday night after reports that he planned to spike the punch at Saturday’s dance with a substance that would make people seriously ill or kill them, Police Chief Butch Rulla said.
I may point out that that description would work pretty well for what punch is usually spiked with. If you take enough of it, anyway.
