Bluegrass tributes to Pink Floyd; Virtual club to rock pop culture; New Yorker Scowcroft story online now

I'm still flat out, but this link has to be passed along (and there's good reading at the others).

Bluegrass tributes to Pink Floyd: First blogger Jorn Barger's Robot Wisdom offers a link to some astonishing tunes, tucked into a directory listing.

This one's from him, too:

Virtual club to rock pop culture: BBC reports,

The gamer who bought a virtual space station for $100,000 says he wants to turn it into a nightclub to change the face of entertainment.

Jon Jacobs, aka Neverdie, won the space station, currently being built within the online role-playing game Project Entropia, in an auction.

He wants to call it Club Neverdie and sees it as the perfect vehicle to bridge reality and virtual reality.

Gamers in Entropia regularly buy and sell virtual items using real cash....

"I'm already in talks with some of the worlds biggest DJs about spinning live sets inside the nightclub," he told the BBC News website.

"Gamers want to be entertained while they play, hunt, socialise and craft, and because of the real cash economy aspects of Project Entropia, they can afford to pay for their entertainment...."

BREAKING RANKS: What turned Brent Scowcroft against the Bush Administration? The much-written-about New Yorker story is online now. (It was print-only earlier.)

In the news: Liz Donovan at the Miami Herald is blogging a lot of what I can't get to. This you might want to know about:

Lots of buzz about NBC Nightly News' announcement that starting Monday, the entire evening news telecast will be available for download -- without commercials -- every evening after 10 pm. It's a big step and a boon to those happy about missing the ads, not so great to those who think it should be available immediately.

Tomorrow, I'll update the Garden Blogs list. To those who've sent me links to their blogs -- I haven't forgotten.

There were two copies of this post for awhile, Too many tabs open. Sorry.
