I won't have access to the net over the next week, so I won't be posting. Scarier, I won't be staying on top of the incoming information flow. As it is I've still got 150 items backed up in my aggregator that I want to think about and possibly comment on. More when I get back.

I'll be following this closely. In the long run this may be the most important news of 2004.

SpaceShipOne blog, part 4. Ground crew member Alan Radecki says:

Hi All, The FAA spaceport license came through today, and almost immediately, signs went up at the airport. Pics are now up on the Mojave Airport Weblog as well as a couple aerials showing the parking & RV areas that I shot this morning from our helo. For those who'll be in the RV park, sounds like the NASA interns will be throwing a big party with a band and all.

Link to part 3, Link to part 2, Link to part 1. Handy overview photo that shows the Mojave Airport scene where the ship will launch on Monday: Link. (Thanks, Todd Lappin) [Boing Boing]

Nice to know, given how many organizations insist on using PDF files.

PDFs: not quite unlinkable. Turns out, you can link to a particular page in a PDF file, plus a whole lot more, including setting the zoom level and scrolling to a particular spot, all in a link. I still hate PDFs, but not quite as much as I did before. [phil ringnalda dot com]
