I had too much caffeine too late in the evening today and so I find myself at 3am converging my blog, Flickr photos, and Furl bookmarks into one uber newsfeed. Try it out. I’ve also got rotating headlines from this feed on my personal page now. I’m glad to have these three foci of my [...]

We’ve been so naughty
The New York Times warns of “Disney’s craven behavior“. While I agree that Disney is most interested in their bottom line, I’m not sure that they’re so evil when it comes to free expression. I’ll bet anyone that this movie gets released. I think the higher-ups at Disney trust it will. But by fighting it [...]
Rebias a biased poll
From the “America Family Association”: What is your position on homosexual marriage? Cast your vote in the National Homosexual Marriage Poll. The results will be presented to Congress. Please Vote Now! I am pretty confident that no one in Congress believes that such a poll is valid, but that doesn’t mean they won’t tout it [...]
The Medium is the Massage?
How many times have you heard “The medium is the message”? It’s kind of poetic. And since it’s attributed to eminent media critic Marshall McLuhan you find a way for it to make sense. Then today I read an e-mail (below) explaining that he never said that and his real message is “the medium is [...]

News aggregators
… are so cool. I prefer SharpReader, which just hit version 0.9.2 But why must it use 40MB of RAM?
Iraq war to maintain dollar dominance
At Tim’s birthday party last weekend, I was arguing with Jim and Brandon something about Euro currency policy. Then Carlin said, “You know why the U.S. went to war? To defend the dollar.” I hadn’t heard any mention of this anywhere. This morning I looked for some corroborating info, and found a bunch. It’s not [...]
Now *that’s* what I’m talkin ’bout!
jish.nu | weblog You know that kid in star_wars_kid.wmv? Someone tracked him down and people are giving him money… $3519 so far. Why? you ask. “My $2 donation was about what it cost me to see Attack of the Clones. This had better character development, and the special effects were almost as good.”
Experiment 2
I suppose Experiment 1 was trying to compose my thoughts to be lucid. And tasty, like a cabernet sauvignon. Experiment 2 is sharing what I read online. Why. Because I send these things to my friends already, and I entertain the idea I could stop that and they’ll just show up here everyday. Or when [...]
