    • Blurry Boundaries Honestly, I'm not entirely sure just where the boundary between 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' violence lies for me. I like my horror creepy and/or with a good dose of humor mixed in. Today's trend towards ultra-violent torture porn just makes me feel ill. ➡
    • A Fine Day’s Mix The fifth of my old collection of mix sessions that I'm posting. This one is another 'theme' idea I had, and depending on how much you like the base song, could be either enjoyable or excruciating. ➡

    • Better Buy I may not ever get to a point of just stopping by to browse, or remotely look forward to having to dive into Best Buy...but at least at the moment, I don't feel the need to actively avoid the store or it's sales droids when I do stop in. And, for Best Buy, that's saying a _lot_. ➡

    • Timeline Meme I guess it's a good day for picking up on memes — this one comes from Mike: the Timeline Meme. ➡
    • De-Lurker Day Well, the day's actually almost over, but I just now found about about this thanks to Carla saying hi — today's been declared De-Lurker day! ➡
    • Veronica Moser, Type Key Spammer While there's a fair amount of chatter today about spammers shifting tactics away from comments and towards Trackback, I ran into a different approach — my first TypeKey authenticated spammer. ➡
    • On Ebonics As someone who's long had an (entirely unschooled) interest in language and linguistics, much of what's in here is absolutely fascinating. ➡

    • I used to be a DJ / Gig’s Music Theater I finally got tired of letting my old domain sit inactive, and have resurrected djwudi.com as a monument (however small) to my years as a club DJ, along with a 1998 archive of the Gig's Music Theater website. ➡

    • Macworld keynote tomorrow This week is the Macworld expo in San Francisco, and Jim has a good roundup of the current rumors posted. As Lane pointed out, I'll certainly be keeping up with the news during tomorrow's keynote. ➡
    • Sympathy for the Devil remixes Sympathy for the Devil has been one of my favorite songs for years, and I've collected quite a few versions over the years. I'm sure I don't have all of the various versions out there yet, but so far I've managed to dig up… ➡

    • High Fidelity Imposters Dream of Hallmark I'd actually managed to go through a couple release days without anything catching my eye enough to spend money on — miracles never cease, eh? After work today I had to go by Suncoast to figure out when I work this weekend, and discovered that I had a paycheck waiting for me. Rock on…but funny, I didn't have it when I walked out. ➡
