Yesterday's protest march in New York City was one of the best experiences I've had in my whole time there. I haven't felt so good about being an American and a New Yorker (at heart these days) in a long, long time. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly, and the expected tension between police and protesters was very low. Some of the guys in blue were even joking around with the marchers. It would be fair to guess that most cops in New York like George Bush just about as much as the protesters do. Big thanks to G.W. for giving the whole city a reason to band together! The most entertaining and witty organization on hand Sunday was Billionaires For Bush, decked out like Mr. Peanut's posse.

A more detailed New York report to come soon. For now, enjoy the wealth of information and great links at Beverly Tang's blog, including articles on a cockroach controlled robot, transparent aluminum (Star Trek III, anyone?) and, uh, titanium breast implants.
