Should you dig back through my archives, please keep in mind that the further in the past a post was published, the more likely it is that the information has become outdated or my beliefs have changed. I sincerely believe that learning, growing, examining, and often changing beliefs is an integral part of being a responsible human being. My personal journey socially and politically has been ever leftwards, and there are many posts in the archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. Thanks for understanding!

- 📚 Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card Another book that makes me wish Card wasn't so problematic, so I wouldn't feel kind of guilty about enjoying his books. ➡

- Star Trek: Picard S01E01 Remembrance As wonderful as it is to see Jean-Luc on screen again, and as gorgeous as the episode was, I do have some slight reservations. But this is just episode one, and they had a lot of groundwork to get in place. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the start. ➡

- Drama and Disappointment As I mentioned Xebeth and her situation a few times on this site, I've gotten a few inquiries as to her current situation, as it's been a while since I've mentioned her. This is why. She's not dying -- but, I'm sad to say, it appears that she's not well, either. ➡

- Attention Tomato Scouts! Not only is Jason gracing us with a free song every week (starting this week), but the old, mostly broken, overrun-by-spam guestbook has been replaced with a new, not at all broken forum. And there was much rejoicing. ➡

- Note: Contains Nudity This is one of the funniest things I've seen today: Netflix' summary for a movie titled 'Sexmission'... ➡
- Stop! The Windows Error Message Generator allowed me to recreate (to the best of my ability) the single funniest and most exasperating error messages I've ever seen on a Windows machine. ➡

- Read this. Any attempt at an introduction or pullquote wouldn't do this justice, so just go read it. ➡
- Most-blogged books of 2003 Another list post, this time, All Consuming's list of the most-blogged books of 2003. As before, books in bold and prefaced with » I've read. ➡
- The real State of the Union I found this link purporting to be a remix of this year's State of the Union address (much like one from last year), but given the content of the snippets used, I think that it's just another take on last year's speech. It's still bizarre and often laugh-out-loud funny, though. ➡
- AOL Presidential Match Lane pointed out the AOL presidential selector today, so I wandered over to take a look. It's quite similar to the Presidential Candidate Selector that I pointed out last July, though the results were a bit different (of course, the possible candidates are different now, and there has been more time for all of them to fine-tune their policies and messages). ➡
- iTMS RSS feeds For any of you RSS/Newsreader junkies out there: you can now create customized RSS feeds from the iTunes Music Store. New releases, just added, top sellers, just the categories and information you want. Quite nifty. ➡
- Lizette& album available I've mentioned the band Lizette& before. When I got up this morning, I found a comment from their drummer, Alex, letting me know that their album is (finally) now available for order through their website! I've been waiting for this one for a while. ➡
- Plot vs. Monster of the Week The more I watch of Buffy, I'm starting to notice one definite similarity between my enjoyment of that show and my enjoyment of the X-Files. ➡

- If it feels good, do it. I am committed to defeating, not only the good work of charities, but the values that will bring lasting peace. And we have a great opportunity during this time of war to lead the world towards suicide, and murder. ➡

- [From Usenet: 1.23.97 0000] I am curious as to how well it presents the principles of taoism. What I read I liked, and have kept with me since then, and I'm becoming more interested in exploring this further. ➡
