    • Resistance is Not Futile The day we accept ANY of this as normal, we have already lost. Fascism accumulates power by pushing people, by testing us, by testing boundaries. ➡

    • 2010 Wish List I took a little time to go through my Amazon wishlists to see what was sitting in there. After a bit of editing (removed some, added one or two items), here's what I've ended up with, in rough order from most realistic (less expensive) to least realistic (most expensive). ➡
  • 2007
    • Best Xmas Commercials (So Far) It's only a top two, rather than a top ten or top three or any such thing (mostly because it's so rare that commercials are actually fun that it'd be nearly impossible to get a list longer than two). However, here for your amusement are the top two commercials of this Christmas season, as chosen by Prairie and me. ➡
    • One Hundred and Forty Peeps So far, I'm a little unimpressed with the leading contender for a collective noun for 'those people I follow/am following on Twitter,' which appears to be 'tweeple'. To my ears, it's rather silly, and a rather glaringly obvious portmanteau. ➡
  • 2005
    • Time to put my money where my mouth is? Ten months ago, I wrote that 'I’d gladly pay a few dollars per episode to download high-quality versions....' And now, wouldn't you know it -- Battlestar Galactica is available through the iTunes Music Store at $1.99 per episode! Very nice. ➡
    • Narnia and Christianity — does it matter? Sure, you can read all sorts of meaning into the stories and why they're being brought to the screen now -- religious indoctrination, right-wing propelled mass media conspiracy theories, whatever. You can also tell your inner Fox Mulder that every so often _it doesn't matter_ and go watch a movie. ➡
  • 2004
    • Blade Trinity I'd been iffy on whether I wanted to bother, but this pre-release review of Blade Trinity just put it on my 'must see' list. ➡
    • Howdy, Wired readers! Over a year after the incident, I'm getting another few seconds added to my fifteen minutes of fame: last week I was interviewed by phone by Wired, and their article hit the 'net today. ➡
    • A Book of Blogs Thanks to Alicia, I just found out about this book project of Tvindy's, and so I've pulled out a couple possible nominations for inclusion. ➡
  • 2003
    • Vote for me! (Or not…) Voting for the 2003 Weblog Awards is now open! My self-nomination for the Best Looking Blog category made it in, so feel free to bounce over there, check out all the contenders, and then vote for me! ;) ➡
  • 2002
    • Psychoptrometry The optometrist as psychotherapist, I thought to myself, what an intriguing character. ➡
    • It’s just snow, folks No, I'm not really annoyed. Quite amused, though. Admittedly, though, this is not a type of post I'm immune to, so I probably shouldn't talk. The trend in posts did catch my eye, though. ➡
  • 1993
    • [From Usenet: 12.6.93 0432] Don't know anything about Seal, but I've seen a few Tori Amos import singles at some local stores...not exactly a new release, but some of them have some songs not on her album... ➡
    • [From Usenet 12.6.93 0432] I've got two...not sure where they came from though. One's on RCA Victor (Swquentiae: Gregorian Chant/K. Ruhland [GD 71953]), the other on ProArte (Gregorian Chants * Ruhland [CDD 287]). Got 'em as presents a while ago. Oh, that first album should be Sequentiae. ➡
    • [From Usenet: 12.6.93 0432] Bingo...you've probably got a ton of answers to this already, but the song is "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" off of Meatloaf's first album, _Bat Out Of Hell_. Good, good album...awesome music. ➡
    • [From Usenet 12.6.93 0432] Also, picked up a single for Religion...good remixes, including a _really_ fast techno version remixed by the Prodigy...two mixes of Crapage by the Orb, and having the Orb remixing 242 is just bizarre...and one fun mix of Religion with lots of samples from Deep Throat. ➡
