- Norwescon 40 Wrap-Up So, that's a brief overview of my weekend. To all of you I got to see, I'm glad we crossed paths, however briefly, and I hope we get to do so again before too long (but if not, then at least next year at Norwescon 41). ➡

- The End of Empathy What's the point of all this? Well, aside from the obvious conclusion of Jason's piece -- 'In summary, how we treat each other does matter. It matters because, without empathy, our lives are shallow, self-centered and meaningless.' -- I'm really not sure. I do believe, though, that this is a real problem. ➡

- Edward Scissorhands in Seattle Anyone want a deal on tickets to the touring production of _Edward Scissorhands_, the 'magical new stage adaption of the classic Tim Burton film' presented as a 'musical 'play without words'' (which I must admit, sounds a _lot_ like something called 'ballet' to me, but who am I to question these things)? ➡

- Northgate Carnival There's a little carnival in the parking lot south of the Northgate Mall right now. Not sure why it's there, but we went down to wander around for a few minutes a couple days ago. ➡

- Pop! There's a sound effect in the song I'm listening to right now that sounds nearly _exactly_ like the 'pop' noise iChat makes when I get a new message from someone I'm not currently in a conversation with and a new window pops on screen. ➡
- Flickr Goodies Back when it was formally announced that Flickr was being bought by Yahoo!, they mentioned that those of us who'd already paid for Pro accounts would be getting super mega bonuses as a reward. Word finally came out today on just what those bonuses are... ➡

- Photos: Arboretum, International Fountain I've just uploaded two small photo albums to my section of the family photo gallery with some of the better shots from my first weekend playing with the camera that Rick lent me: eleven shots of children playing in the Seattle Center's International Fountain, and thirteen shots from wandering around the Seattle Arboretum. Enjoy! ➡

- Honda Accord ad This new ad for the Honda Accord (QuickTime required) is a definite must-see. It's just grabbed a spot as my third-favorite commercial of all time. ➡
- Meme proposal: YAAMR A proposal for the 'net community at large, and for Microsoft, in an effort to make complaints about/criticisms of Microsoft and its software easier to collect and analyze, with the intent of letting any concerned party at Microsoft sift through them at will for subjects relevant to their area of expertise. ➡
- But what about the little guy? The fundamental problem itself is still unsolved — Windows is often a royal pain in the ass to deal with. Most of us have to deal with it on our own, though, and common experiences like Scott's are going to keep happening, and Microsoft is going to continue to be perceived by many people as a lumbering, unstoppable behemoth of a company that can't actually write decent software, but doesn't seem to care because they've got such a lockhold on the industry. ➡
- Propaganda at its finest How heroic is it, really, when US forces storm into an unguarded hospital, terrorize the staff and patients, and handcuff four doctors and two patients — one of whom was paralyzed and on an IV drip — before leaving with Private Lynch? ➡

- I wanna go! This may surprise some of my friends, as I'm not generally known as much of a country listener (you can thank/blame [depeding on your preference] many of the women in my life for that little quirk), but there's a show at the Gorge that I really wish I could afford. ➡

- By the way… But then, this is Alaska, and the music scene up here is really easy to compartmentalize. For grins and giggles, I'll do just that. ➡

- [From the archives: 4.18.96 1419] Last night (well, actually a week or two ago, but I just investigated it last night) one of the Woodys told me about the Made with Macintosh campaign promoting websights using Macintosh compters in their design, so I joined the campaign and added the logo to the bottom of my main page. ➡
- [From the archives: 4.18.96 0249] Okay. Back into the swing of things. My apologies to any Woody's who have send me stuff and nothing came of it...I'm finally up to date on every entry for the Web Wide Woodys page. Nothing else changed yet...but I'll get there. ➡
