  • On the Neverending Story Yes, there's a chance that they're taking a film that's loved by many who were kids when it came out and 'updating' it to be bigger, louder, and _stupider_. However, if we're lucky, this could turn out to be one of those cases where they just might improve on the original. ➡

  • …ask what you can do for your country. One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed.  He awakens to see George Washington standing by him.  Bush asks him, 'George, what's the best thing I can do to help the country?' ➡
  • My Movable Type tweaks I got an e-mail from a friend who's in the process of switching over to Movable Type, and he asked if I had any recommendations for plugins or tweaks to the core system. Here's a look at what I'm currently using. ➡
  • C-List Blogging According to Dave Pollard's breakdown, I'm a 'C-List Blogger'. ➡
  • Theatre Plans The Seattle Times has announced the 5th Ave. Theatre's 2005-2006 season. Lots of good stuff coming up, including The King and I, but the one that's really catching my eye is Sweeny Todd. ➡
• 2004
  • Violence is ( bad | good ) ! Group One blames violence in video games and movies for the behavior of today's youth. Group Two buys out entire theaters for church groups, youth groups and families to see Mel Gibson's 'The Passion'. Any bets on just how separate those two groups really are? ➡
  • An insider’s view of MS Word 6.0 Microsoft Word for the Mac versions 4 and 5 were my introductions to Word, and in the opinion of myself and many other people, were the pinnacle of Microsoft's Mac programming. Then came Word 6. ➡

  • By the infinite dick of God I first found this on the 'net ages ago, and used to have a copy somewhere on my hard drive. I'd forgotten about it for a long time, then the phrase "by the infinite dick of God" popped into my head tonight, and I decided to search this out and... ➡
  • We'll bomb who we want! The Propaganda Remix Project has a book of posters being released in March, complete with forward by Kurt Vonnegut, introduction by Howard Zinn, and commentary by the Center for Constitutional Rights. Looks worth picking up — my copy is on order. ➡
  • New WTC plan chosen Well, it looks like the winning plan for the replacement complex for the WTC has been revealed. While it's not the one I favored, maybe it'll translate better into the real world than the pictures of it I've seen so far. ➡
  • This isn't helping A few days ago, Robert Scoble asked what we think Microsoft should do in the future, both with technology and to improve their public persona. I haven't done much for coming up with a list of what they should do, but here's a hint to Micosoft: this is something you really shouldn't do. ➡
  • Caring for your Introvert The worst of it is that extroverts have no idea of the torment they put us through. Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98-percent-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves. We can only dream that someday…it will not be impolite to say "I'm an introvert. You are a wonderful person and I like you. But now please shush." ➡

  • New blog name Please excuse such a long letter -- I didn't have time to write a short one. ➡
  • How much of a nerd are you? Apparently browsing the web from the command line is pretty nerdy.... ➡

  • [From Usenet: 2.26.95 0238] Somewhere around a year or more ago, there was an ftp site that had a remix of 'last' by Butch Vig that had been nixed from the 'fixed' ep. As far as I've been able to tell, it's not available anywhere else, and has never been released. ➡
