    • The New Job There's been a few slight mentions of my new job here, and Dad asked for some more details. As has generally been the case for the past few years, I'm not going to say a _lot_ about my job here, but here's the basic scoop... ➡

    • Al-Qaeda’s Shoes As if it's not bad enough that advertising in RSS feeds is showing up more and more often, we're also being subjected to the many instances where the context-selection fails miserably when deciding which ad should go with which story... ➡
    • Teatro Zinzanni at Pacific Place If you get a chance, stop by Pacific Place just at touch before 5pm any Thursday through Sunday in August. One of the performers from Teatro ZinZanni is putting on a short show throughout the month to promote their dinner/circus/cabaret show. ➡
    • Podcast 8: Eclecticism I'm posting a series of mix sessions I did a few years back. This is Eclecticism (1h 17m 32s, 88.74Mb). Download, drop into your .mp3 player, and -- hopefully -- enjoy! ➡
    • Arrogant Bastard Ale James, Mark, Chris: I think I've found the perfect drink for you guys. ;) Arrogant Bastard Ale! ➡
    • Girl talk, MT32b3, and Alan Moore And that pretty much sums up life in the world of me at the moment. Not quite sure what my plans for the weekend are, though there's a lot of Seafair stuff going on around town right now that I may see if I can find a way to check out at one point or another. As is usual for me, though, I'm not planning much of anything more than about 20 minutes in advance.... ➡

    • Somehow, I’m not surprised Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we. ➡
    • Tigger cleared of all charges In a recent trial in Florida, a Disney employee was found not guilty of fondling a 13 year old girl while posing in a Tigger costume for photographs. My favorite part of the article was a series of photos in which the defense attorney tried on a Tigger costume in order to demonstrate how difficult it can be to know exactly where one's hands are placed while suited up. The photos are priceless… ➡

    • The MovableType/Mac conspiracy… Another IM conversation, investigating the MovableType/Six Apart/Mac/Apple conspiracy. ➡
    • And now, just to change the subject… If this keeps up, I might start to think I live in Seattle or something! ➡
    • Anatomy of a smear campaign Robinson appears guilty of nothing at all -- save being a gay man who wants to be a bishop. For some, unfortunately, that is enough to justify all sorts of innuendo and dirty tricks. Be warned: This is the way they play. ➡
    • Congratulations, Bishop Robinson The mere fact that we were able to get to this point, despite the last minute machinations of Robinson's detractors, says wonderful things about where we might head in the future. Many, many congratulations to Bishop Robinson, and to all of his supporters. ➡
    • Robinson cleared, vote rescheduled The clergyman seeking to become the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church has been cleared of 11th-hour allegations, church sources have confirmed, NBC News’ Jim Avila reported Tuesday afternoon. The vote by bishops to confirm the elevation of the Rev. V. Gene Robinson, which had been postponed Monday for an investigation into the surprise allegations, was rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon. ➡
    • Inappropriate Touching Sources say that the alleged inappropriate conduct by the Rev. Cn. Gene Robinson occurred when Robinson touched a married man in his 40’s on his bicep, shoulder and upper back in the process of a public conversation at a province meeting around two years ago. ➡
    • The hazards of modern journalism A Japanese journalist who was manhandled by U.S. troops in Iraq on July 27 is recovering from injuries sustained during the confrontation but remains outraged at the use of excessive force against him, said co-worker Mika Yamamoto. ➡

    • Hey, nifty! Woohoo! Turns out that Adriaan, the mad genius behind Kung-Tunes, liked the writeup I did of how I integrated Kung-Tunes into my site design. Not only did he link to me from his site, but he tells me that he's added a link to the writeup in the Kung-Tunes readme. ➡
