    • This is Journalism? I'll freely admit that, while geeky, I'm not one who will stand in line for hours for an item I can get faster and easier if I wait a few days. I'm less concerned with 'firsties' than with my own convenience. That said -- I _love_ the fact that the customer in this video actually calls the reporter on his idiotic 'reporting.' ➡

    • 300 Multiple Choices The idea for using server response codes as SMS shorthand that's going around right now is cute, but I still prefer an idea I from January of '04, when I ran across the idea of applying server response codes to dating. ➡

    • Photographers Protest at the Ballard Locks How wonderful. I can't claim total inspiration for this, as all I did was point to the article regarding Ian Spiers' run-in with Homeland Security while photographing the Ballard Locks, which brought it to the attention of Myk O'Leary of Life, it is a Travesty. After reading that article, however, Myk is organizing a peaceful protest at the Ballard Locks. ➡

    • The TSA: Security, or petty thieves? This inspector found a lighter that I was given by my step daughter for our first Father's Day together. It was a cigar lighter that did not run on Liquid Fuel, but gas. He looked at it and exclaimed, 'Wow I have always wanted one like this'. Then proceeded to tell me that he had to confiscate my lighter. ➡

    • Great minds think alike (and so do ours) It does matter, dad. I'm glad it matters to you, I'm glad that, thanks to you, it matters to me — and I'm glad that, even with all our disagreements, you're my dad. ➡

    • What's going on? All of a sudden, the right-hand sidebar, rather than displaying on the right side of the page, is being shoved underneath the left-hand sidebar, after all the main content — at least, that's what's going on in IE6 on the PC. ➡
    • Greek Mythological family tree Now, the Newmans' work has been published by the University of North Carolina Press as 'A Genealogical Chart of Greek Mythology: Comprising 3,673 Named Figures of Greek Mythology, All Related to Each Other Within a Single Family of 20 Generations.' ➡
    • Stubble fun Silly advantage to having a shaved head: that sixteenth of an inch stubble makes a great impromptu scrub brush! ➡
