    • Who’s Defining ‘X-Rated’ Here? Sorry, AP, but there's more than a little bit of hyperbole there. Almost having a bit of accidental boobage is PG, maybe PG-13 if her top actually _had_ fallen off (and even _that_ used to be a good solid PG). 'Nearly X-rated' would be something very, very different.
  • 2006
    • Googling a Dead Horse There's a certain irony in Google's new Google Calendar supporting the iCal standard for calendar sharing and distribution when -- as usual -- they don't yet support the standard Mac web browser.
    • Pretty in Pink Slight soft-focus pink flowers.
  • 2005
    • The next logical step First, the good news (and, for once, this _is_ good news): federal legislation is being introduced that will protect a woman's ability to get birth control.
    • I hope I don’t regret this… If you're as much of a glutton for punishment as I obviously am, get your Star Wars Episode III tickets here. I'll be at the 10:30pm show at the Cinerama on Thursday, May 19th.
    • Until death (or homophobia) do you part Well, I can't say I'm _surprised_, but I'm certainly disappointed that Oregon has nullified the same-sex marriages performed last year. It's frustrating enough to see it happen from the standpoint of someone's who's _very_ much in favor of _true_ equal rights for all -- but even more so when this decision affects a friend of mine.

    • Camera! I've got a camera! Iit's a loaner, not my own, but what a loaner — an Olympus C-2500L 2.5 megapixel DSLR.
    • Online crack Hey Alan -- you thought this game was bad? Wait 'til you start this one...;)
    • Not again I really, really really hate the fact that electronic banking transactions can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to post to a bank account.
  • 2003
    • All about love Yesterday I kissed a girl in a private place...we were behind a tree.
    • From Berkeley to the Matrix Wired mentions that much of the inspiration and technology for the more eye-catching special effects in the Matrix films were drawn from a project called The Campanile Movie, which is fascinating in its own right.
    • Nekkid Here's a really interesting Flash presentation about being naked — sixteen volunteers photographed in various states of undress, with audio clips of interviews discussing various views on nudity, comfort and discomfort, and similar things.
    • No Safari timeout Annoyed by Safari constantly giving up on pages that won't completely load in less than a minute? SafariNoTimeout to the rescue. Now that I've posted this, maybe I'll remember to download it when I get home…
    • Disgusted and depressed Every morning I get up, and every evening when I get home, I pop open my newsreader to browse through the day's news and headlines. And every time, I find more and more that disgusts me, outrages me, and quite simply, makes me want to go back to playing ostrich and pretending that the world outside my own private little bubble doesn't exist.
