5. Sharedance - Centralizing data and PHP sessions:

   Sharedance is a high-performance server that centralize ephemeral key/data pairs on remote hosts, without the overhead and the complexity of an SQL database.
   
   It was mainly designed to share caches and sessions between a pool of web servers. Access to a Sharedance server is trivial through a simple PHP API and it is compatible with the expectations of PHP 4 and PHP 5 session handlers.

   Via Joseph. It seems like Sharedance is like a memcached-lite.

6. David Warren has a rant about Arafat:

   It should be said that the person who spits at the mention of George W. Bush, but weeps for Arafat, is beyond twitting. Such a person is sick in the head. He represents a form of judgement so totally inverted as to be indistinguishable from madness. And yet among our intellectuals, this inversion is commonplace.
