    • Martin Luther King Day I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice… ➡

    • Happy Penguin Awareness Day! It seems that Jan. 20th is Penguin Awareness Day. Though I was not aware of this, I _am_ aware of penguins. You should be too. Just in case you're not...here are some penguins. Be aware. ➡

    • Obama’s Inauguration Speech Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations. ➡
    • Links for January 19th through January 20th Sometime between January 19th and January 20th, I thought this stuff was interesting.

    • Congratulations President Obama! President Barack Obama, right, is congratulated by daughter Sasha, lower left, as first lady Michelle Obama looks on after taking the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. ➡
    • Postalicious Excerpts A couple days ago I dropped a line to Postalicious' creator, asking it might be possible to add excerpt templates in a future revision. He wrote back to say that he'd work on that when he got a chance...and just one day later, version 2.6 of Postalicous was posted with support for excerpt templates! ➡

    • Give him a fling… Remember the kinda-cool, kinda-creepy flash thing with the girl falling through and bouncing off of a bunch of bubbles? This is that again...but better. ➡
    • Seattle Nightlife ...as summarized by Cor Tenebrarum on the SeaGoth message board. ➡
    • (Another) iTunes Meme Lots of silly statistics on my music collection. ➡
    • First and Last and Always Oh, very, _very_ nice. This March, The Sisters of Mercy will be in Seattle. On a Saturday night, even. I'm _so_ there. ➡

    • Death of a Spammer, in a Place Called Hope The crime was murder. It was during the autopsy that the medical examiner noticed an obstruction lodged deep in the victim's throat. He reached in and pulled out the object — a can of Spam. ➡
    • Judy Bachrach on FOX News Judy Bachrach was on FOX News and completely ambushed FOX anchor Brigitte Quinn. Rather than a cute fluff piece on the inauguration, Bachrach launched into an indictment of the forty million dollars being spent on Bush's parties. ➡
    • Engine Ice This picture wasn't taken by me, I just thought it was incredibly cool! A friend forwarded it to me along with the accompanying text explanation. ➡

    • March of the Sinister Ducks Neil Gaiman had a song bouncing through his head the other day, and mentioned it on his weblog. Several people then wrote in to let him know of the existence of an .mp3 of the song. After getting permission from the author, Mr. Alan Moore, Neil has quite kindly made the .mp3 officially available. ➡
    • Jason gets his heart back I was just going through the guestbook on Jason Webley's site, and it turns out that on Dec. 30th, Chris received an unusual package in the mail… ➡
    • Search inside! Wow — I entirely missed Zeldman's original post about this, but Kirsten just pointed out a hilarious little side effect of Amazon's addition of 'Search Inside!' or 'Look Inside!' text to book cover images featuring their full text search feature. ➡
    • Chimp Gone Wild! A screencap from CNN ➡
    • If not Dean, then who? There's a lot of good food for thought in the comment thread for this Daily Kos post-Iowa look at the Dem contenders. Some good discussion on whether Dean has suffered as bad of a blow as it may seem, and if so, than who might be the best person to pick up the nomination. ➡
    • Unplanned Applause I'm used to the apparently mandatory applause after every sentence. I was quite pleasantly surprised tonight when after mentioning that the Patriot Act expires in the near future, the Democratic portion of Congress interrupted Bush's speech at that point to start applauding. ➡
    • Enterprise in trouble? Now, I've not seen Enterprise since I moved into my current apartment, and at the time, I wasn't sorry to stop watching it. It's still a little sad to see that one of the staples of my life may be coming to such an ignominious end. ➡
    • The one-party America America has had periods of single-party dominance before. It happened under FDR's New Deal, in the Republican 1920s and in the early 19th-century 'Era of Good Feeling.' But if President Bush is re-elected, we will be close to a tipping point of fundamental change in the political system itself. ➡
    • Read fast! If people are tired enough of Bush's leadership to show up in surprisingly large numbers to be a part of the process of finding the best candidate to oust Bush from office nearly a year before the general elections, it makes me even more optimistic that come November, we'll be putting a Democrat back in office again. ➡

    • Must've been a fluke I stopped by the Wander-Lust homepage a bit ago, skimmed over the 'Popular Destinations' sidebar, and realized that I was number 16! I have no idea how I managed to pull that off, but it must have been a fluke — as I write this now, I'm number 47. Heck, I'm rather surprised to be on their top-50 list as it is, 47's impressive enough. But 16? ➡
    • MT: Easy comment and entry editing I use a 'edit this entry' here, only one that allows me to not have to worry about the blog ID number, and I have 'edit' links both for each individual entry, and for any comments that are left on my site. As a bonus, the edit links are hidden, so unless you're me (or you read this post), you'll never know that they're there! ➡
