    • In Memoriam, Don Brown Prairie's grandfather passed away this morning. He'd gone into the hospice last week (necessitating our trip down to Vancouver last weekend), and held on long enough to let all of the immediate family come by to say goodbye. ➡

    • Links for July 8th through July 9th Sometime between July 8th and July 9th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! • Mythbusters to Test Star Trek’s Gorn Cannon • "Harry Potter" Stars Felt Pressure to "Ace" Kiss • Ritz Camera, Parent of Wolf and Waxman, Plans to Sell Remaining Stores • Paste Without Formatting by Default • Marvel Wants to Help You Look Stylish! ➡

    • Encroachment Taken near the Old Fishing Hole in Kent, WA. It was a gorgeous day, and the construction equipment looked really out of place against the blue sky and greenery. ➡
    • Links for July 8th through July 9th Sometime between July 8th and July 9th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! • Octopuses given Rubik's Cubes to find out if they have a favourite tentacle • New Nikon D700 • Getting your point across • Ayluro → Corkboard. ⌘C and ⌘V are so 1984. • Exposure ➡
  • 2007
    • Boy in the Pool Since today's heading up into the 80's, we're thinking heading back to the pool sounds like a _really_ good idea.... ➡
    • Live Free or Die Hard In short: as far as summer blockbuster entertainment goes, _Live Free or Die Hard_ was everything that _Transformers_ should have been. Big, loud, funny, and -- and this is a key point -- _believable_ in its implausibility. ➡

    • Bring the camera, momo! After getting a call from my optometrist letting me know that my new sunglasses were ready to be picked up (I lost my old pair a few weeks ago), I got ready to go. On my way out the door, I looked at my camera sitting on my desk. Should I take it? ➡
    • Snack time! Today's headline of the day award (even though the headline's a couple days old, thanks to me being a bit behind in my newsreader, as always...) comes from CNet. ➡
    • Poor little rock crab… Photos taken a couple weeks ago at Golden Gardens Park. Layout done with Comic Life -- neat little program! ➡
  • 2004
    • Gay Marriage bumper stickers Two pro-gay marriage bumper stickers, in response to the 'Marriage = (Man) + (Woman)' bumper stickers apparently being given away by the 700 club. ➡
    • Two from This Modern World This Modern World kicks today off with two equally incindiary articles. Item one: According to The New Republic, Bush requests Bin Laden's capture in time for elections. Item Two: Children held and possibly tortured or abused in Abu Gahraib? ➡
    • It’s illegal to photograph the Ballard Locks That is, it's illegal if you look like a terrorist. ➡
  • 2003
    • Ari’s losing it I think the burden is on those people who think he didn't have weapons of mass destruction to tell the world where they are. ➡
    • Haunted Mansion Trailer I was a lot more interested in this before I saw Eddie Murphy in the trailer. Has he made anything even remotely funny since The Golden Child? ➡
    • So who was the speech to? After touring the island site that was a launching ground for slave traders, Bush gave an anti-slavery speech. Unfortunately, all the residents of the island had been herded up and penned in a football stadium. So much for anti-slavery. ➡
    • Game on! Next some other idiot is going to try to play Quidditch with a Dirt Devil, two bowling balls, a basketball, and a badminton birdie. Sha! ➡
    • Transsexual clownfish! Scientists could have written an R-rated, gender-bending plot twist to Disney's 'Finding Nemo': Clownfish have a natural ability to change their sex. ➡
    • S-11 Redux Culled from over 20 hours of television footage recorded over a one month period and across 13 networks, S-11 Redux is a sound-bite blitzkrieg that challenges the messages we have been fed from our mainstream media and the government it serves. Be warned - this video moves quickly and will require at least two viewings to digest its full impact. ➡
    • Pre-Natal Massage I know what it really means…but what it could mean had my co-worker and I alternating between really amused and really disgusted. ➡
    • Oh, by the way… For the record, though, I've decided to put The Long Letter on hold for the duration of the TypePad beta, to give me the most possible opportunities to participate in the collective tire-kicking here. ➡
    • Are friends electric? In any case, the point is that, at least for me, it's rare that I hesitate on posting something because of anyone who might read my site. Not unknown, but rare. ➡
    • Playing with Zempt Looks like UserSpace might have some competition down the line! As it stands right now, Zempt looks good for the Windows side of things, and UserSpace has my vote for the Mac side of the equation. ➡
    • The great bit bucket in the sky It seems to me there's a very simple solution to this, that, for me, outweighs any risk of my web-based life disappearing into the great bit bucket in the sky, and that's simply this: back up your files. ➡
    • Stonehenge again Cold, hard, and immobile — apparently the designer didn't have a very good sex life! ;) ➡

    • New element discovered Research at other laboratories indicates that administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings. ➡

    • My stuff, Hank, and my apartment I ended up with one pallette to be shipped — a grand total of 1,075 lbs. — and when I stood next to it, it looked like it was about 7 ft. high. Lots of crap, basically, but it's my crap, and it's the crap I wanted to keep. ➡
