You know what I love about America? The fact that 12,683 people got up out of bed, went to there local voting location, and voted for Gary Coleman. (And he was still beat by Larry Flynt, I guess people love porn more than sitcoms after all) Anyway, enough of the off-topic shenanigans, here are some links.

• Smackdown II: WebSphere versus .NET - IBM is slinging some mud, but the funny thing is that almost everything in this article is out of date. The report they reference is from 2002, and they even talk about .NET 1.1 coming out soon.
• RSS to WML Converter - Cool utility to convert RSS feeds to WML so you can view them on your mobile device. (source: Larkware RSS Resources feed)
• Microsoft builds lead in server operating systems - It is funny that with all the Linux hype Microsoft is still growing faster. It was also interesting to see that this only includes versions of linux that are purchased, but this goes the same for Microsoft as well. I wonder if there are more free versions of linux or illegal versions of NT and 2000 out there.
• UML Articles - Good collection of articles on UML (Check out the resources section for more article on other topics)
