    • Moving to Ellensburg, Part III The moral of the story? If you're looking for rental properties in Ellensburg, _stay away_ from Ellensburg Property Management, LLC. Andrew at Hatlestad Investment Group, LLC, however? Originally, we thought he was good. No longer recommended. See update at the end of this post and comments from others. ➡
    • Moving to Ellensburg, Part II Okay. So at the end of Part I of this little adventure, I'd left off with ominous words about how moving in to the new apartment did not go smoothly. That's actually something of an understatement! ➡
    • Moving to Ellensburg, Part I Bet'cha you never expected _those_ words to come from me, did'ja? But you did, and this is the point where I can finally publicly ramble on about what I haven't been allowed to talk about until now. Here's the deal. ➡

    • Disaffected! Disaffected! - a videogame parody of the Kinko’s copy store, a source of frustration from its patrons. Disaffected! puts the player in the role employees forced to service customers under the particular incompetences common to a Kinko’s store. ➡

    • Technorati Tags Change of plans as far as my keywords/tags project goes. Thanks to George's TechoratiTags plugin, I'm now listing tags in the metadata for each post, just underneath the title. The tags are drawn from the keywords for each entry, and clicking on any one of them will take you to that tag's Technorati search page. ➡

    • More color/code tweaking I've also managed to get the hide/show smileys function when leaving comments working, thanks to a new Scriptygoddess script (that I even helped debug — go me!), and I think (though feel free to correct me on this) that I've got the 'Remember Me' function when leaving comments fixed too. Just so all five (actually, I might be up to eight!) of my regular visitors won't have to keep entering their information into the form. ➡
    • TIA getting the smackdown I've mentioned the Total Information Awareness program a couple times here, usually in a context of horror and bemused amazement at a program so tailor-made for conspiracy theorists. ➡
    • Suckers How absolutely mindblowingly perfect is this? A French yacht taking place in a round-the-world sailing race was attacked by a giant squid. The perfect part? The trophy they're going for is the Jules Verne around-the-world sailing trophy. ➡
    • Sound familiar? Excellent op-ed piece over at Slate right now: Fool me twice — the press swallows a story. Be sure to read all the way through, of course. ➡

    • Enterprise: Silent Enemy It's just starting to seem like their desire to be the first explorers from space is getting in the way of their better judgement -- almost like they're afraid that if they do go back to earth, they won't be allowed to go play anymore. ➡

    • Lock, Stock and Logan’s Garden Stomper First off, just finished watching Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, which I borrowed from a co-worker. Absolutely hilarious little crime drama. Next off, three more DVD's to my collection. ➡
    • Things to remember while e-mailing This is another of the very few random e-mails I received that did not get immediately nuked...and I think not only is worth sharing, but should be the default new message in every freshly installed e-mail client across the internet. ➡
