Personally, I use a Hotmail e-mail address for my Blogger Login, so please don't ask me how open the Web really is. Big Brother Google and Emperor Microsoft know [insert Palpatine's theme here], I presume (or maybe they're at a loss, too?). Anyways, check out http://dataportability.org/ for a group that's striving for a barrier free web. Big Brother and the Emperor have recently graced them with representatives, so either they're brilliant or... [insert Vader's theme here]
Climate/Weather:
A TV newscast on today's heavy storms in Styria informed us that heavy storms hadn't just hit pretty much all of Styria, but it's capital Graz, too.

At Saturday's alpine skiing downhill race in Chamonix (French and site of the first Olympic Winter Games back in 1924), the Austrian downhill racing team suffered a devastating loss as no fewer than seven countries had racers placed ahead of their best race. Including, as it were, Austria itself. Yupp, coming in fourth was Rainer Schönfelder, a slalom racer and six ranks ahead of Austria's best downhill racer.
