- Life in Ellensburg: All Graduated and Employed! I know it's been a long time since I've done much in the way of 'real' blogging. Believe me, I _know_ -- it's been bugging me. However, the reason for the delay has been for two very interconnected reasons: I don't like blogging about things that are happening until they've actually happened, and I've been a lot busier here than I expected to be. It's all for good reasons, though -- Ellensburg has been treating me very well, as it turns out. ➡
- Markdown is the new Word 5.1 Almost all of my writing for many, many years now has been in a text editor using Markdown-formatted text. I'm using Markdown formatting for this blog post (which WordPress then automatically translates into HTML), I've written many, many discussion board posts for school in Markdown format before pasting them into BlackBoard, and I use Markdown formatting whenever I'm writing email messages. ➡
- A Real First-Class News Experience Now, I'm not a die-hard 'information wants to be free' crusader, and I really don't have a problem with paying a reasonable fee for media that I'm interested in. However, I do want to be able to _use_ the information that I pay for, and a specialized system is _not_ something I'm willing to pay for. Give me text on a webpage, RSS feeds for my newsreader...information I can _use_, not something that locks it away. ➡
- My First and Only Online Handle I'm actually kind of lucky in this respect. I've only ever used one online handle, and while I've deprecated it a bit these days in favor of my real name, I still actively use it as a login name and occasional identifier. Most anyone who's interacted with me online for any appreciable amount of time will recognize my online alias of djwudi. ➡

- Me and Prairie ...as seen on the Simpsons. If we were ever on the Simpsons, that is. Courtesy of the character generator in The Simpsons Movie website. ➡

- Tsunami Early Warning System After the massive destruction of the south Asia tsunami, the Red Cross has decided to distribute FREE Tsunami Early Warning System/ Earthquake Detectors. Earthquakes can be dangerous. Especially at beaches where Tsunamis can occur. Know the signs to watch for of a nearby earthquake! ➡

- Eau de Power Mac Taste and scent specialists International Flavors and Fragrances have partnered with fashion and art magazine Visionaire to produce a special fragrance capturing the scent of computers — specifically, 'the headspace in the Apple computer store in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood.' ➡
- 9/11 ≠ Iraq Designs on the White House has been running a t-shirt design contest, and they've just announced the winners. Some good shirts in there, I'm hard pressed to find a favorite. ➡
- Hagar the Horrible …Hagar used his position on the reproductive health committee to oppose the otherwise overwhelmingly approved vote to recommend over-the-counter sale of the morning-after contraceptive Plan B. The vote to approve the sale of Plan B was then overruled by the Bush administration. ➡

- Woof Just what every goth dog lover needs — a doggie bones costume! ➡
- Still looking I could have sworn that I linked to this before (it's been on the 'net for months), but I can't find it now, and it's bouncing around the 'net again. ➡
- LiveJournal RSS feeds Just a note to myself: RSS feeds are available for any LiveJournal simply by adding "/rss" to the end of the URL. ➡
- Yummy! I just looked at the label on the soda machine here and could have sworn that rather than Cherry Coke, it read Chewey Coke. ➡
- Juxtapositioning Interesting, if depressing, combinations of headlines on MSNBC's main page right now: Bring them on! / Two more soldiers die. ➡
- Bring 'em on! Can we get away with starting a 'Ball Gags for Bush' fundraiser drive? ➡
- The hat?!? No one wants to put words in J. K. Rowling's mouth, but it's safe to assume that when she hails her readers' creativity, she has in mind something other than tales wherein Professor Snape is fellated by the Sorting Hat. ➡
- Old School Went out to the Vogue last night for an old-school techno night. ➡
- Angels or Devils ...if you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But, if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. ➡
- 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC Vancouver, BC has just been awarded the 2010 Olympics. Pretty nifty — they're just a couple hours north of Seattle, so I might actually be able to wander up that way and see some of the fun in seven years or so. ➡
- Great Wall of China disappearing This was a little distressing to read about: the Great Wall of China, one of the few (the only?) man-made structures visible from space, is falling apart. ➡
- People Powered Democracy Most of all, these people seemed to be supporting Dean because other people they know and trust are supporting Dean. The Internet campaign magnifies the voices of friends and relatives above the voices of the famous or the powerful. ➡
