    • Me at Norwescon 36 In just a few weeks, I will once again be indulging in four days of glorious geekery at Norwescon 36. I'm wearing more hats than ever before this year, so here's a rough rundown of what I'll be doing and where you'll be able to find me... ➡

    • Links for February 17th from 14:54 to 17:12 Sometime between 14:54 and 17:12, I thought this stuff was interesting.

    • As You Wish I'd be hard pressed to come up with a Top Five (or even Top Ten or Twenty) list of favorite movies, but if I did, The Princess Bride would definitely be on there. ➡
  • 2006
    • The Last Trip I Took Paper number three for ENG101. A 'personal narrative' essay about the last time I did any sort of illegal narcotics. ➡

    • Another Music Meme: Cover Me Another music meme, this one being started by Terrance: Cover Me. ➡
    • Not Gallimaufry Since I've kind of slacked off on my 'Gallimaufry' meme posts over the past few weeks, here's a music meme from Don to play with. ➡
  • 2004
    • Barry Manilow listens to Underworld?!? I was poking around on the iTunes Music Store, and started looking at some of the Celebrity Playlists — essentially 'mix tapes' (only there's no tape involved) assembled by famous people. I saw Barry Manilow listed, and had to know. ➡
    • Free music is good I got my first free song from the iTMS today, thanks to the current promotion with Pepsi! ➡
    • Soundtrack to a wedding During the wedding reception, Kevin and Emily passed out CDs they had made with a selection of songs special to the two of them. Here are the songs that they chose to represent them at this point in their life. ➡
    • Genealogy software wishlist Okay, so here's what I wish I had available in a genealogy software package. Any mad coders out there feel like putting it together? ;) ➡
    • Back home with lots of pictures I've managed to get my photos of the trip uploaded. Feel free to take a look, just realize that many of the shots are out of sequence. ➡

    • Flirt vodka Something tells me that this isn't an ad we'd see here in America. Not sure why? It's kind of subtle. Look at his legs. Sure makes me wish I knew Russian, just so I knew what the ad copy was. ➡
    • Apple bloggers? There's been much discussion recently regarding Microsoft bloggers. Got me thinking — what about 'Apple bloggers'? The only one I know of off the top of my head is Dave Hyatt, who works on the rendering engine for Safari. Any others out there I should know about? ➡
    • Scoblemania Yikes. After going through my 'Technology' grouping in NetNewsWire, which includes RSS feeds for 34 different weblogs and news sites, every link that I called up as 'probably worth babbling about' was from Robert Scoble. ➡
    • Riot in Anchorage A Fur Rondy teen dance erupted late Saturday into what officials are calling a riot of 300 youths spitting, kicking and throwing rocks and bottles at police in downtown Anchorage. Nearly every on-duty Anchorage police officer, about 70 in all, converged around the Egan Center. What happened remained muddled Sunday. Police and the Egan Center manager gave different versions of how the situation got out of control. ➡
    • No jive talkin' Unfortunately, at this point, the plugin mangles URL's (see the comments to the previous post) so I can't use it to post and link anywhere. With any luck that will be corrected at some later point, though… ➡
    • Jive talkin' This is a test, and this is only a test. Hopefully it will at least be an amusing test — I'm playing with the MovableJive text formatting plugin for MovableType 2.6. I probably won't use this very often, but it could be fun from time to time. Included filters are Jive, Texas Drawl, Cockney, Swedish Chef, Valley Girl, German Accent, and Hunting Wabbits. ➡

    • Completing the set So, I've now got a collection of all 19 official Bond movies to feed my testosterone fix when I need it...woohoo! ➡
    • Great Napster discussions I understood Metallica's plight at first. There music was being hijacked, goddamn it! But their waning CD sales weren't from Napster, but from the fact that they were like a tough version of Poison; they should have become extinct when the meteor of alternative hit. ➡
    • Karaokemon! Hell is going to be me strapped into a chair at a lounge where there are a bunch of different Pokemon all singing Karaoke. ➡
