most of my top data targets are probably above his pay grade. pacer,  
patent, a scan of the fdlp. :)

just so painful building a web site in that world. I got a taste of  
that when I got to CAP and it was all Kintera, the CMS from hell run  
on a bunch of Win/NT IIS servers by a bunch of failed doctors.

You see my 200-hour upload to YouTube? Looking very nice. Brewster  
having problems converting the data, but we've called a meeting and  
hopefully that will get fixed (they have a variety of issues on  
transcoding, but my position is "hey, it looks fabulous on YouTube"  
which seems to be a motivating position). Seems to have impressed the  
federal judicial center that we were able to rescue that much of their  
old data.

So, what are you up to now? (Besides interning with members of  
congress? ;)).
