One of the things I would love to be able to do is to bring all the archival news from the BearPress and Bear-Pics days over here to PlanetBears. I have thousands of HTML pages filled with news articles, and almost all the articles have a thumbnail photo accompanying it. I have so many logos and drawings from Bear groups and websites after 10 years of news, it feels like a shame that I don't have all of this stuff online. It almost feels like I have a touch of Bear history in my archives, something that should be made available to all to peruse. If anyone knows how to easily convert HTML into data, maybe this could be a reality. Email me if you're interested in assisting me in this project.

Richard Cooey is not too fat to be executed. Awhile back (article), PlanetBears mentioned that death row inmate Richard Cooey was making a plea that he was too fat to be executed for a double murder he committed over 22 years ago. At 5'7 and 267 pounds, he was worried that they will not be able to execute him properly due to bad veins from his obesity. His plea, however, was not accepted and Cooey was executed as scheduled, so says this CNN story.
