    • My first computer: The Osborne 1 This Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the introduction of one of the first 'portable' computers, which also happens to be the first home computer that my family had. This was the machine that first got me into much of the geekery I've been into for years. ➡

    • Ritz Cameras Closing 11 Washington Stores My former employer, Ritz Cameras, has just announced that they're closing more than 300 stores across the country. Of those, eleven are based here in Washington. I'd actually heard a little bit about this through a former coworker whose store is one of the eleven, but I had no idea it was going to be this widespread. ➡

    • BlueJ to Xcode translation? Might there be anyone out there with Java development under Xcode experience who has a few minutes to spare helping me figure out how to translate this page into something useable on my computer? I've gotten as far as getting Xcode installed, but...well, after that, I'm kind of stuck. ➡
    • Random Updates Quick updates: Last quarter's grades, spring break in Long Beach, Confessional, Utilikilts, this quarter at school, and Norwescon. ➡

    • 5,000 photos I just realized that I've recently passed the 5,000 photo mark in my Flickr account. If I'd thought about it ahead of time, I would probably have chosen something else for my five thousandth photo. ➡
    • Fresh Hare / All This and Rabbit Stew A couple of nights ago, we popped in a collection of Bugs Bunny cartoons and settled back for a fun evening of cartoon silliness. What we didn't expect to discover was that two of the cartoons on the disc are shorts that have been either edited or outright banned for many years due to racist content. ➡
    • Nullifidian Nullifidian: Of no faith; also, not trusting to faith for salvation; — opposed to solifidian. Feltham. ➡

    • Countdown… ...one month 'till my birthday. May 3rd, I hit 32. ➡
    • Cyperpunk update About a year and a half ago, I put up a post about Billy Idol's Cyberpunk album and included an OS X disc image of the floppy that came with the special edition package. Thanks to Kinko's keeping floppy drives attached to their rental Macs, there's now a new, freshly-created disc image available for download. ➡
    • Slut! Doesn’t sex just kick ass? You love it and your friends love it and your playmates love it. Sex is that overflowing bowl of ice cream you just have to share with the world. Because maybe, just maybe, if we can get more happy good sex out into the world, we can make it a happier place for everyone in it. You know how to communicate about what you want and how to listen to your partner’s desires. You even use your turn signals. You’re just an all around good person. You are one of the beautiful people. ➡

    • The chef’s special I know this is juvenile, and I know that it's a real food item…but I really have to think that classy restaurants should avoid naming a $22 dish 'The Captain's Pupu Tower.' ➡
    • Upcoming movies Every so often, Prairie and I will go through Apple's movie trailer page, checking out what's coming up in the next few months and seeing what interests us. Here's today's batch of possibilities (in no particular order)… ➡
    • Symphony #2 for Dot Matrix Printers Each of the printers plays from a different 'part' comprised of rhythms and pitches made up of letters of the alphabet, punctuation marks and other characters. ➡
    • iChat just went bye-bye When I switched iChat into text and names mode, everything in the chat window went blank. I could see what I was typing in the text input field, and hear when messages came through by the 'bloop' sound…but I couldn't see anything! ➡
    • Gmail and Safari So I got curious about Gmail, Google's new e-mail service, and thought I'd stop by to take a look. Somehow, I'm not very impressed so far. ➡
    • Kinja So all the buzz over the past few days (aside from whether or not Google's e-mail service is an April Fool's Joke or not) has been Kinja. Essentially, Kinja is yet another web-based news aggregator, this time with the stated goal of exposing more weblogs to people who aren't already sucked into the weblog world. ➡
    • The Heirophant’s Proselytizer Questionnaire Ellenoir pointed out a fascinating page that I'd not seen before: The Heirophant's Proselytizer Questionnaire, one person's response to being constantly harassed by missionaries of one faith or another trying to 'save' or 'convert' him. ➡
    • T minus one month and counting The first few days in May were usually busy days in my family. My birthday is May 3rd (I'll be 31 this year), my little brother Kevin's is the next day (we're three years and one day apart — he'll be 28), and my best friend from fourth grade on, Royce, has his birthday on the 5th (he'll be 31 also). ➡

    • Memo/Assemblage 23 Got back a bit ago from seeing Memo and Assemblage 23 at The Vogue. Good show, but I'm exhausted. Going to be kind of an early bedtime for me tonight. ➡

    • Renee…yum… It was, however, something of a Renee Zellweger day for me -- picked up two movies with her in it. Not really setting out to do that, just that they both got released today. ➡
