    • Without women, the story doesn’t even begin But what the story really says, this story men made up to hold women down, is that women have the power to change the world. Women have the power to throw the world into chaos and they do it because the world as it is isn’t good enough. ➡

    • It’s Academic, Really… The sea squirt has a very simple brain which is used only to find a suitable spot to root itself for life. Once it's settled into a spot, it no longer needs the brain, so it eats it. This has been compared by at least one Researcher to a professor receiving tenure at a university. ➡

    • Schrodinger’s Mac This is the kind of geeky science stuff that I love: quantum computers that give results when they're turned off. ➡
    • Quote of the Day 15,000 atheists in London rioted after a blank sheet of paper was found on a cartoonist's desk. ➡

    • You Ashcroft! Well, it turns out that some airline passengers watching the Oscar-nominated film 'Sideways' on foreign flights are, in fact, hearing 'Ashcroft' as a substitute for a certain seven-letter epithet commonly used to denote a human orifice. ➡
    • Yeah, I’m clueless about these things… Now, in theory, it's supposed to be possible for me to go out onto the 'net somewhere to find digitized copies of tv shows that I could download and then watch on my computer. How in the world would I go about this? ➡
    • Battlestar Galactica Episode 1 This is incredibly cool: The Sci-Fi Channel has posted the first episode of Battlestar Galactica season one on their website, free, uncut, and without commercials. ➡

    • Catching up, part four: political bits Yeah, well, I had to jump back into this side of things eventually. On the bright side, much as this stuff might worry and/or scare me, at least I'm paying attention to it now, which I wasn't for far too many years. ➡
    • Catching up, part three Again, in no particular order, bits and pieces from my 'technology' grouping in NetNewsWire… ➡
    • Catching up, part two This time, the focus is on Macintosh goodies. All you PC-using heathens can read on in wistful fantasyland, or just find something else to do — like reinstall Windows again. ;) ➡
    • Playing catchup I'm skimming over a lot of stuff in my newsreader (758 new items after being out of touch for a week!), but in no particular order, here's some of the stuff that caught my eye… ➡
    • Need some free shoes? Enough soggy Nike basketball shoes to outfit every high school team in the state are drifting through the Pacific Ocean toward Alaska after spilling from a container ship off Northern California. ➡
    • He's got a point If anyone in [My Fair Lady] was gay, it had to be Higgins and Pickering -- you're telling me two single men in their late fifties who live together and enjoy speaking properly and dressing Audrey Hepburn in fabulous outfits aren't? ➡
    • Back online We're back! Sorry about the downtime. In the end, I have to admit that it all boils down to one simple thing — money matters aren't my strong point. ➡

    • Infocom presents Tetris You are looking at the shaft. A large red block, four units by one unit, is above your head, dropping slowly. It has its long edge horizontally aligned. ➡
    • A splash of color A bit of visual design tweaking on the website, which, of course, messes something else up. ➡
    • Lots of moves, and Casey turns 30 I don't think I remember quite all of it, but I think it was crumb cake and white cake crumbled into pieces and mixed with pudding, put into a litterbox, with a litter scooper for a cutting/serving tool, and complete with Tootsie Rolls melted and formed into the right shapes to serve as kitty poop! ➡
