    • International Vote Like an American Pirate Day If I didn't have to go to work this afternoon, I'd _so_ be spending the day down at the Seattle Center, wandering around, taking pictures, and hoping for the three events to collide in some spectacularly silly fashion. ➡

    • Best Viewed Large I have to admit to a certain curiosity about the tendency for so many people to add 'best viewed large' to the descriptions of a photo they've uploaded to Flickr. Two things are constantly popping into my head when I see 'best viewed large' added to a photo... ➡
    • Men In Kilts It's the freedom, they say. The freedom to move, to feel the breeze, to stay cool on a hot summer day. And all this freedom comes simply from banishing pants to the back of the closet, say the men who wear the Utilikilt, a rugged modern take on the Celtic kilt. ➡

    • Coalition of the Unwilling Costa Rica has requested that its name be stricken from the White House's 'Coalition of the Willing', saying their support was for the War on Terrorism, not the invasion of Iraq. ➡
    • Vote for Kerry, Lose Your Job And I thought I got fired for a bad reason — my story doesn't even begin to compare to this woman who lost her job because she is a John Kerry supporter. ➡

    • Vacation pictures I've uploaded a selection of photos from my trip to Anchorage to two places: a few shots of friends and family to my flickr album, and more shots of Anchorage and the surrounding area to the family photo gallery. ➡

    • Out at the Vogue Just got back from the Vogue. I don't often go on Friday nights, as I'm generally a bit tired at the end of the work week, and I know more of the music on Saturdays, but getting out of the house just seemed to be the thing to do tonight. ➡
    • Surprise deportations It appears that immigrants in the process of becoming citizens are being sent letters asking them to report to the INS for paperwork reasons. When they go down to the office, expecting to fill out forms, process some paperwork, or pick up their green card, they are instead suddenly handcuffed, detained, and deported. ➡
    • French 'Engrish' One of the ladies here at work just came back from a week in Paris, and she brought back an inflatable Eiffel Tower for us. The greatest part, of course, is the instruction sheet — apparently, 'Engrish' is multilingual… ➡
    • Gay couple kept out of US A married gay couple on their way from Canada to a human rights conference in Georgia were not allowed to enter the United States today because the two men insisted on filling out a single Customs clearance form declaring themselves a family. ➡
    • Weblog Ethics Rebecca Blood has an excerpt from her book The Weblog Handbook posted dealing with weblog ethics that's well worth looking at. I do my best to abide by these rules — to me, most of them are pure common sense — but it's not a bad idea to occasionally refresh the concept in your mind. ➡

    • Graham, not Isabel There's a picture making the e-mail rounds right now that purports to be a shot of Hurricane Isabel over the ocean before it hit land. Apparently it's been mislabeled — it's actually Tropical Storm Graham — but it's still one hell of a gorgeous picture. ➡

    • Faster! Faster! Fas…aw, crap. I was playing with what I'd hoped would be a new feature for the site last night. Things were looking really promising for a while, too -- but it looks like it's not going to happen, or at the very least, not anytime soon. Bleah. ➡
    • No more popups (almost) Since I'm one of the many people out there who believe, to the very depths of my soul, that popups are evil, I've removed the popup window for posting comments. Now, clicking on the 'comment' link will take you to the page for the post itself, and scroll down to the comment form. Simple, but much easier. ➡

    • Slow times Of course, even when I claim that life is boring and I have nothing to do or say about it, I can still fill up eight-plus pages in this little notebook about my lack of anything to write about. Like that will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me. ➡
