American troops on Tuesday rescued Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, who had been held as a prisoner of war in Iraq since she and other members of her unit were ambushed March 23, the Defense Department announced.
I've got to confess, I really don't understand this—ok, I understand the words on the page, just not the view points expressed in them. I can understand people not wanting innocent people dying, but Saddam's killed way more Iraqi citizen then will probably end up losing there life during this conflict (provided he doesn't resort to chemical warfare on his own people.)

I'm also linking the band name to the Artist Direct web site, so you can read more about the band. I may change it to VH1's site—because I think I can always link directly to the band's page—but Artist Direct generally seems to have more information on each band.

I found a pretty cool Winamp Plug-in on oddsock.org today called "doSomething". The you can set the plug-in up to do a number of actions when Winamp changes songs—one of which is to perform a GET operation on a URL. Unfortunately, there appears to be a bug in the event handler that handles the actions when Winamp is either closed or a playing song has stopped. So, I had to create a hack to indicated when I'm offline by checking the length of the current song and when the song started. If no updates have occurred within that time, then I set the status to "offline"
