Here at Cornell we pretty much idolize quite a few of the folks that made the Mars Rovers possible, including Profs. Jim Bell and Steve Squyres.
Submission + - MLB Denies Blogger Media Credential for ASG
Joliet Jake writes: "A few of my readers suggested that I submit my story to Slashdot. I have to admit I'm pretty ignorant about your site so forgive me if I've wasted your time here.
crib notes: I asked for media credentials as a blogger from Major League Baseball to the 2007 All-Star Game. I was denied, as expected. I mentioned it in my post here: http://buccoblog.mlblogs.com/my_weblog/2007/05/asg _media_crede.html
I didn't realize how much of a controversy this subect was until my email box started filling up this morning. Email after email suggested that I continue to push for access.. from lawyers, government officials, and even journalists. I was pretty surprised.
After I modified my post adding that I should look into putting a sports bloggers association together, every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the country decided to email me saying that was a great idea. But is it?
I'm really curious what everyone thinks about the subject. I'm torn between not wanting to see bloggers in the clubhouse from the ex-player side of me, to wanting to see these sports giants swing the doors open more as a blogger because I'm well aware of how much real news never gets out that should.
Thank you for your time."

Submission + - CIRA new membership drive
dreamturtle writes: "The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) has implemented a new enrolment process for becoming a CIRA Member. If you are already a CIRA Member you must re-enroll in order to maintain your CIRA Membership status.
That's great but they're also giving away a free 1GB flash drive in limited quantities to new members. Is CIRA that hard up for members that they have to entice new members with trinkets? I would think that the benefits would be obvious to anyone who was interested in having a say on how the Internet is run in Canada and globally."
