  • 🎥 Barbie An impressive veneer of completely over-the-top ridiculousness laid over a remarkably aware, intelligent, and subversive core. ➡
  • Year 50 Day 80 _Barbie_ is _excellent_. If you’re even remotely curious, it’s worth your time. ➡

Not long before bed, I think. ➡

  • Juvenile Humor Alert: Changing ‘heart’ to ‘butt’ in song titles Eurythmics: There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Butt) ➡
• 2009
  • Your Cellphone Can Kill **If I can tell that you are talking to me on a cell phone while driving, _I will hang up_ after asking you to call me back later.** I don't care if you're friend, family, job recruiter, Trent Reznor, or Barack Obama. Do _not_ call me while driving. It's stupid and dangerous to yourself and anyone around you. ➡

  • Keeping Our Fingers Crossed Word from R as of about 4pm today is that Xebeth is 'okay' -- out of surgery and in the ICU. From the sound of it, while she's not out of the woods, she's not in immediate danger at the moment. ➡
  • Malignant Hyperthermia I haven't mentioned this before -- and debated even putting this post up -- but Xebeth, who I recently reconnected with and has become an extremely dear friend to both Prairie and I, has been battling malignant hyperthermia for some time now. ➡
  • FD’s Flickr Widget As may be obvious by the photos shown in the banner, I've been working on playing catch up with my photos off and on over the past few days. Fourth of July photos are coming soon (gee, what, two weeks late?).... ➡
• 2004
  • iTunes cover art in iChat user icon? I want an iChat/iTunes plugin that would set my iChat icon to the cover art of the currently playing track in iTunes. ➡
  • Metadata goodies Apparently, Gracenote — maintainers of the CDDB (which iTunes and many other audio players use to provide track information upon insertion of a CD) have many additional possible data fields that can be used, according to this comment sent to Macintouch. ➡
  • Eyes everywhere Domino's Pizza has a 'two-for-Tuesday' buy one, get one free deal, so I've gotten in the habit of picking up a couple medium pizzas on Tuesday nights. What with things like caller ID on the phone systems and computer databases, I've gotten very used to whoever takes the order already having my name and address based on my phone number. ➡
• 2003
  • Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over Y'know, I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but after seeing the trailer for Spy Kids 3 before Pirates of the Caribbean this weekend, I kind of want to see it. ➡
  • Geeking about Dean I really wonder if there are people on the Howard Dean campaign who are tied in enough to the 'geek' side of the blogosphere to realize how big of a deal it could be that Dean is getting mentioned prominently by Doc Searls, Robert Scoble, and Tom Negrino. ➡
  • TrackBack spam? Grrrr… Well, here's a first (for me, at least) — I just got TrackBack spam. ➡
  • A few new Canadians I've known quite a few people who have at one time or another, with various degrees of seriousness, talked about moving to Canada as they got more and more disgusted with how things were going in the US. Now, enough people have decided that this sounds like a good idea that it's actually making news. ➡
  • North Korea The whole North Korea nuclear thing is freaking me out, precisely because we seem to be doing nothing at all about it. Not good. ➡
  • In general… …what's the point? ➡
  • TPBETA 1505 My own little concept for marking my spot as a TypePad beta tester. A small badge, with 'TPBETA' on the left, and '1505' on the right. 1505 is the ID number for my TP blog -- obviously, the older the blog, the lower the ID number will be. ➡
  • Is the day over yet? Today is just dragging on, and on…and on. ➡
  • Sixteen Legs ;) The first pic (that I've heard of, at least) of the villain in next summer's Spider Man sequel — Doctor Octopus — hit the 'net yesterday. ➡
  • Sixteen Questions Howard Dean has published a list of sixteen questions that President Bush needs to answer, and has created a petition to sign asking that Bush address these questions. ➡
  • Durn furriners 'I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq,' said Wolfowitz, who is touring the country to meet U.S. troops and Iraqi officials. ➡
  • Practice makes perfect 'This is the future for the world we're in at the moment,' he said. 'We'll get better as we do it more often.' ➡
