    • Links for July 16th through July 18th Sometime between July 16th and July 18th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! ➡
    • Amazon Kills Pocketpedia I saw the writing on the wall a couple of weeks ago when Delicious had their iPhone library app pulled for this same reason, and now Pocketpedia has been killed. ➡

    • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix As Prairie and I have spent a couple days thinking back on it, we're both pretty satisfied with this latest entry, and what few issues we have with the film fall pretty solidly into the realm of nitpicking, rather than actual issues. ➡

    • Eclinkticism returns Assuming I've managed to figure out the right combination of shell scripts, SSI includes, CRON jobs, and other associated voodoo, the Eclinkticism linklog in the sidebar should be up and running again. As before, it's just a dump of the most recent items I've added to my del.icio.us account, so feel free to add that RSS feed to your reader if you like. ➡
    • Bag’n’Pipe Hoppers One of the local street performers I enjoy running into is the Bag'n'Pipe Hoppers. Actually two performers who team up together from time to time -- Don P. Scobie on bagpipes and Jesse Bishop (or Bishnutz) on drums -- their combination of traditional Scottish piping and modern hip-hop beats is always fun to stumble across. ➡
    • Acid bath ...somewhere, in the back of my brain, I'd decided that it wasn't really water, but streams of acid running down the street that would eat through the bottom of my shoes and into my feet if I accidentally stepped into one. ➡

    • The New York Times posts a Mea Culpa It's always nice to see one of the 'big boys' admit that maybe, just maybe, they could have dug a little deeper into the goings-on in the months before we invaded Iraq. ➡
    • Pictures of Noah Kevin just sent me pictures of Noah! At this point, I'm required to do the 'proud uncle' thing and display them to the world. You, of course, are required to expound upon how beautiful and perfect he is, even though at this stage, all children pretty much look like Winston Churchill. ;) ➡

    • Alaska Jack Concurrently with today's announcement that Alaska Airlines has contracted with Jack Nicholson to act as spokesperson for the airline in all of their television and print advertising in 2004, the airline also revealed an upgrade to the traditional and distinctive Alaska Native image on the tail of their jets. ➡
    • Hoaxing Bambi The jury's still out on this one, but I'd be willing to bet that the Hunting for Bambi 'business' (in which men dress up in camo, grab paintball guns, and go running through the woods 'hunting' naked women) is nothing more than an elaborate spoof. ➡
    • 9-11 Quiz How much do you remember about the events surrounding Sept. 11th, 2001? ➡
    • Need help? Got a question? Can't find an answer? Take a quick peek at Help!Blog, maybe someone can help you out. ➡
    • Straight out of a movie The British scientist named as the possible source for some of the disputed Iraq intelligence has been found dead in the woods. ➡

    • The job hunt commences Not a whole lot going on at the moment, beyond getting into job searching. Yesterday I e-mailed my resume to a hiring rep for Kinko's, and turned in an application and resume to Suncoast. Aside from that, things have been pretty slow. ➡
