    • Camping Two happier items: I got my financial aid, and Prairie and I are heading up to Mt. Ranier to go camping. ➡
    • It’s Not Time To Go Yet Was wondering if you could do me a favor in your spare time (ha-ha)? ... What I would like to know is -- what are your views on what happens when you die? I really don't have any firm beliefs...but I really love to hear what other people think. ➡
    • So Very Predictable If anyone else in the world were to stand in front of a few hundred thousand people and ask them to throw money at them -- and not just a little money, but nothing smaller than a ten, fifties are preferred -- they'd probably get very soundly beaten. If you happen to be named George Lucas, though, you can get away with it again and again and again... ➡

    • Korea ready to go nuclear? At this rate, we'll be seeing mushroom clouds again before we know it. If we're lucky, they'll be confined to test sites — if we're unlucky Bush's steadfast and stubborn intransigence just may score a body count the US hasn't been party to in decades. ➡
    • Military accounting We keep hearing more and more about how much the reconstruction and rebuilding of Iraq is going to cost (on top of the billions already spent so far for the invasion and occupation). Wouldn't it be nice if we could cut those costs a bit? ➡
    • Interview Me III: From Jonas The third of a few interviews with me, this one with questions courtesy of Jonas. ➡
    • 'Stay away from MS' THE US Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) has urged the US Department of Homeland Security to avoid using Microsoft software. ➡
    • Howard Dean, rock star And wouldn't it be great…wouldn't it be really bitchin' if you had a political leader who was running for the big office…where you could like them as much as you like your favorite musician? ➡
    • That hurts So…I noticed that you've been an American Express cardholder since I was two. ➡
    • Flying High Howard Dean has gone from nobody to the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Now he's a political rock star, and he just went on a coast-to-coast tour to prove it. The Stranger tagged along for the ride. ➡
    • Yahoo! News RSS feeds Jeremy notes today that Yahoo! News now has RSS feeds available. A good thing for finding news — but not for linking to news. ➡
    • Blatant propaganda The Village Voice takes a look at the upcoming 'docudrama' DC 9/11. ➡
    • Outsourcing fund raising? You'd think that if Bush was really concerned about keeping jobs in America, and getting Americans back to work, his campaign wouldn't be outsourcing fund raising phone calls to India. ➡
    • Blogging from Afghanistan His driver, Babrack, although probably not spelt that way, is an ex-Mujahadeen who credits Stallone's performance in Rambo 3 for teaching him the correct technique for firing a rocket launcher and looking good at the same time. ➡

    • Portugal sounds nice… This led to an entertaining little discussion, starting with beth's assertion that '...just for the record not every woman in the world wants an orgasm every time'. Things bounced merrily along for a while, until Miguel Cardoso posted the following entertaining and fascinating rundown of Porgugese sexual customs. ➡
    • WudiVisions One upside of having to redo everything from the ground up is that it's allowing me to play with some ideas that I'd had floating around in my head for a while, and just hadn't tried yet -- and other ideas that have just appeared during this project. ➡
