  • 📚 Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb Re-reading it now, its flaws are a little more apparent, but it’s still mostly enjoyable fluff. ➡

  • I’m Concerned About I-1351’s Effects on Higher Education Filed under 'yes, even I can have unpopular opinions': I'm _very_ concerned about where the money to fund I-1351's directives is going to come from. We live in a state where voters refuse to put money into the system, and it's really not even clear that smaller class sizes will make that much of a difference. ➡

  • Links for December 8th through December 11th Sometime between December 8th and December 11th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! ➡
• 2007
  • Expressiveness I think a short passage in a Reuters Photographers blog may have nailed one of the reasons why my interest in sports is limited to football (_real_ football, that is -- most of you know this as 'soccer'). ➡
  • A Vogue New Year’s Eve I don't guess that I'll be going -- Prairie and I, over the past few years, have found that New Years Eve out and about is often just a bit too much -- but it's nice to see one of my photos in use on the flyer for Monsignior and Roxy's New Years Eve' bash! ➡
• 2005
  • Let it snow! Heh -- cool web toy of the moment (if you have a web cam -- without a cam you can read about it and see the sample images, but the effect just won't quite be the same): Webcam Snowstorm. ➡
  • Going Going Gone (And I Did Nothing Wrong) Amusing moment of the evening: now that the club is non-smoking, it made the one guy who forgot about the smoking ban really, _really_ obvious as he sat in the corner having a cigarette. ➡
• 2003
  • What you leave behind Well, it's done. Last night I finished the last episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The Dominion War is done. ➡
• 2002
  • Interesting Apple rumors Some unusually interesting (to me, at least, as both an Apple fan and a music fan) rumors surfacing over at /. today. ➡
  • Message from our sponsor Written and performed back in 1992, I was listening to this spoken word piece by Jello Biafra tonight and it struck me how little has changed since it was written. Aside from the reference to Al Haig, this little pice of satire is just as relevant today as it was ten years ago. Kind of funny and sad at the same time, I think. ➡
