- Year 50 Day 274 A pseudo-sequel to last week’s shot from the optometrist’s office, I guess? ➡
- 2021
- Difficult Listening Hour 2021.01.30 Unrehearsed, seat-of-the-pants, let's-see-what-happens mixing. You never know what might fall into one of these! ➡

- 📚 eight of 2020: The Rosewater Redemption by Tade Thompson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #PKDickAward nominee An excellent conclusion to a fascinating trilogy. Wrapped everything up nicely, satisfactory ends for all the characters, and a very interesting take on alien invasion. ➡

- 🖖 #StarTrekDiscovery S02E03: Meh. I’m all good with Tilly’s snarky space fungus, but all the Klingon stuff dragged. It was like this episode was half season two, half season one, and that wasn’t a good thing. My least favorite S2 episode so far. Fingers crossed for next week. ➡

- Almost forgot to do a picture today. So you get a creepy eyeball shot because I’m tired and lack creativity. ➡
- 2008
- Netscape Has Left the Building Netscape Navigator, one of the first 'popular' web browsers, is dead. ➡

- Toy Story 3 having problems o one wants to direct 'Toy Story 3.' That's the word in Hollywood's animation world, where the third installment of the incredibly successful Pixar series has no director, writer or, possibly, stars. My sources in the animation biz tell me that Disney, which will make 'Toy Story 3' without Pixar, cannot find a director to guide the project. ➡

- CBS needs to work on their definition of ‘issue’ ads CBS can't decide whether they'll run controversial advertising or not. ➡
- Go Judy! An absolutely beautiful article at The Nation looking at the media's inability to cope with the fact that Judy Dean is exactly what she appears to be — a normal, well-adjusted independent woman in a healthy, loving relationship with her husband who doesn't want to abandon her medical practice to be trotted out at every political opportunity during the campaign season. ➡
- 411 Length Required Recently, ThinkGeek started selling HTTPanties — a set of panties with either '200 OK' or '403 Forbidden' emblazoned across the front. Cute idea. ➡
- The Howard Dean Aerobics Program Need some exercise? Just go to a Howard Dean appearance should he come through your town. I swear, with the number of standing ovations after every major point Dean makes, his supporters are up and down more often than your average Episcopal congregation! ➡
- Miracles never cease As it turns out, last week our building was apparently purchased by a new leasing agency, so we weren't sure what sort of deals or possibilities might exist with the new management. We finally got confirmation on the new setup, and I'm not going to be able to get a free months rent for renewing my lease. ➡

- Concrete Blonde review posted I just got e-mail from Dean, the webmaster of a Concrete Blonde fansite. Earlier this morning I'd e-mailed him about my little writeup of last night's show, and he went ahead and posted it on his site! ➡
- Still in Hollywood I've been to shows where the band is too busy performing to really make a connection with the audience. Johnette is anything but that -- the kind of artist that you can, and do, actually believe when they talk about how much they're enjoying being there, how much fun they're having performing, and how much they love the audience that night. ➡
