    • Schoolboy Once Again There's been a change of plans that's taken place over the past couple weeks, and now that I've verified that talking about it publicly won't risk my status with the unemployment office: I've decided to take advantage of having a lot of unclaimed free time and head back to school! ➡

    • Virtual Moving While my DSL line and aging webserver were fine for my needs a while ago, I'm outgrowing them. So, I think it's time for me to pare things down a little bit and look into external hosting options. ➡
    • Blade: Trinity I just got finished watching Blade: Trinity. While I'm certainly not going to make any claims about it being a _good_ movie, it ended up being _far_ more entertaining than I expected it to be (and probably more than it had any real right to be). ➡

    • Most naturally beautiful women A 'panel of experts' (beauty and fashion editors, make-up artists, model agencies and photographers) has just released a list of the top 100 most naturally beautiful women. Here's the top 10. ➡
    • More on the Monorail fire Amusingly enough, while talking with Prairie about the stories, where her reaction was to be a little freaked out and quite glad she wasn't around, my first reaction was, 'Well, no-one got hurt. Wish I'd been there with my camera!' ➡
    • Memorial Day To dad, any of my relatives living or deceased that served, and to all those serving now…thanks. ➡
    • Can Bush do anything but lie? The Washington Post takes a look at the slew of false advertising coming out of the Bush administration. ➡
    • On motivating your actors …during filming, when [director Alfonzo] Cuaron needed [Daniel] Radcliffe to convey the proper look of astonishment, he took his young charge aside and coached: 'Pretend you're seeing Cameron Diaz in a G-string.' ➡

    • Licence plates in The Matrix The discussion thread regarding Matrix: Revolutions on the Home Theater Forum is turning up all sorts of interesting tidbits, including the fact that all the licence plates seem to be biblical quotes! ➡
    • Which Agent Smith are you? I'm 'Snarky Smith' — the Agent of Wit. Which Agent Smith are you? ➡
    • No more standalone IE Also — does this also kill IE for the Mac? IE already hadn't been updated for the Mac in ages, and with the proliferation of alternative browsers available out there for OS X — including Apple's own Safari — has Microsoft decided it's time to concede the browser war as far as the Mac platform goes? ➡
    • Write a blog, say hello to the FBI Note to the FBI: Feel free to browse through my politics category archives, just be sure to knock before entering my apartment. ;) ➡
    • Bush lied. People died. Jack Straw and his US counterpart, Colin Powell, privately expressed serious doubts about the quality of intelligence on Iraq's banned weapons programme at the very time they were publicly trumpeting it to get UN support for a war on Iraq, the Guardian has learned. ➡

    • Fight Club Everything had gone so easy, I wondered. I'd done everything the mechanic said to do. This was why we needed to buy a gun. This was doing my homework. ➡
