Upcoming reading material November 30, 2001
In the course of a LotR discussion quite a few books and series were mentioned, and I thought I’d jot some of them down so I can pull from this list next time I need to find a book to dive into.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig November 29, 2001
Just got done talking with dad…we don’t have the final details yet, but it looks like I’ll be taking a cab straight from work to the airport on the 21st, be in Anchorage until Christmas day, and fly out of Anchorage to come back on the 25th.

Enterprise: Cold Front November 28, 2001
In original Trek, time travel was shown as a somewhat simple, if not trivial, concept. Now, however, we’re being told that the Vulcans have ‘studied time travel extensively’ and determined that it’s an impossibility.

Privacy, shmivacy November 28, 2001
‘Magic Lantern,’ a government developed ‘trojan horse’ style virus that appears as an e-mail attachment. Once on your machine, it can record keystrokes and transmit them back to the FBI for analasys.

Aaaah! I wanna see it! I wanna see it now! November 28, 2001
Reviews of the first Lord of the Rings film, Fellowship of the Ring, are starting to hit the net…here’s what I’ve found so far.

Paying bills is such fun November 27, 2001
So that was about it…home by 10:30 or so, in bed about midnight. Not the most exciting stuff in the world, I suppose, but that’s the way my life goes.

What a weekend November 25, 2001
Oh, and just to confirm any suspicions that may have arisen — yes, it does appear that I’m no longer single. Candice and I talked about it Friday night, and after roughly three years of being (technically) single, I’ve re-entered the dating scene.

(Day after) Thanksgiving, Part 2 November 23, 2001
There are probably many other things and people that I should add to this list, but this will do for now. This Thanksgiving season, those are the things I value the most. It’s a day late — but Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

(Day after) Thanksgiving, Part 1 November 23, 2001
(I’d mentioned earlier that I had two posts planned for Thanksgiving. I didn’t get around to putting them up Thanksgiving day, so they go up today, instead.) A Thanksgiving Prayer, by William S. Burroughs…

‘Twas the night before - Thanksgiving? November 21, 2001
Most of the past couple days have been distinguished by battles with my PC. Apparently it figured out that I’m about to gut it and give it a full transfusion — and the fool thing is pissed at me.

Belinda rocks! November 20, 2001
Just a quick note to say that Belinda is all sorts of cool, and that I hereby bestow instant celebrity status upon her (at least among the five or so people that read my website).

Junet and Caro, ‘shrooms, and small worlds November 19, 2001
I’d bounce off and online from time to time during the day, and ended up getting in a conversation with Candice, a girl from the Seattle chatroom. Turns out she’s also an ex-Alaskan, so we started babbling about things we knew about from Anchorage.

Boo-ya! November 18, 2001
I’m online! It’s slow , it’s not under my name yet, and it’s not on the mac — but I’m up! It’s a start….

XP sucks! November 16, 2001
This is a truely genius piece of work — someone actually managed to scale up to wherever the sign is and alter it. In other words, this isn’t just some joker with Photoshop at work — this is a real-world hack job.

Enterprise: Civilization November 16, 2001
Random bit of trivia I stumbled across this past week — Kim Darby, who played Jenny Myer in Better off Dead had, much earlier in her career, played Miri in the Star Trek Original Series episode ‘Miri’.

Please? Pretty please? With Muppets on top? November 14, 2001
I know it’s a bit pricey. That’s why I’m grovelling. Really grovelling. I’m actually on my knees right now. It’s a little hard to type, but it’s worth it.

Pro-America November 14, 2001
Pro-America does not mean pro-war. Or pro-Bush. Or anti-Afghanistan. Or pro-little-flags-on-SUV-antennas.

What’s with the black bars? November 13, 2001
While most of my friends have been around me long enough to understand my preference for watching films in widescreen or letterboxed format, occasionally I get questions about the ‘black bars’ at the top and bottom of the screen.

How ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ really ended November 12, 2001
A furious lightsaber duel is under way. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader chops off Luke’s hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft.

Gee, I’m real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky. November 12, 2001
Despite a less-than stellar presentation (including three false starts as the staff tried to figure out how to work a movie projector), the movie was as funny as ever, and having a chance to see it with a theater full of people was wonderful. After the movie, homeward bound for all of us.

Just dropping in November 10, 2001
My monitors are here! It’s still going to be a few days before I’m online more regularly from the looks of it — but at least they’re here.

Enterprise: Breaking the Ice November 8, 2001
Just how much gravity does an 86km diameter snowball have? Apparently, it’s pretty Earth-normal, so that psyllium they were mining must be some pretty amazingly dense stuff.

The human adventure is just beginning November 7, 2001
The effects shots are doubly impressive, in part because they’re so seamlessly integrated into the body of the film, that I didn’t even notice many of them until they were pointed out in a documentary!
