  1. Bye-bye ‘Enterprise!’ March 29, 2002

    I’ve been watching the new Star Trek show, Enterprise, off and on for a while now. I haven’t caught every new episode, but those I have, I posted my thoughts on. It doesn’t look like I’ll be doing this anymore, though.

  2. Another CBDTPA March 28, 2002

    Wired’s reporting that in addition to the CBDTPA bill that’s going through the Senate, a representative is planning on introducing a similar bill to the House. Double-plus-ungood.

  4. Ebert on copy protection March 28, 2002

    The way to launch a new CD is to get it talked about — not to insult potential fans by making it unplayable on their equipment even after they buy it legitimately.

  5. Virtual LEGOs! March 28, 2002

    Oh, man — I could get so lost playing with virtual Legos that I’d forget all about work. That’d be a bad thing.

  6. Eugenics wars March 28, 2002

    I’m trying to figure out what surprises me more — that someone in the UK is writing an article that appears to be seriously promoting eugenics in the near future, or that in the resulting MeFi discussion nobody thought to mention the Eugenics Wars.

    So just why is it that so many ‘good Christians’ can’t ever seem to joke around about sex?

  8. When Elephants Dance March 28, 2002

    Michael Fraase’s ‘When Elephants Dance’ is an excellent summation of the current flap over digital rights and the dangers in the entertainment industries current drive to control everything.

  10. Going up…way up March 28, 2002

    I am so stoked about the possibilities that could come of this. According to an article on Space.com, within 12 years we could have space elevators stretching 62,000 miles above the earth, capable of hauling payloads to the top every three days. Too freakin’ cool.

  13. I’m all moved in March 25, 2002

    This weekend kicked much butt. Rick came over both Saturday and Sunday to lend a hand, Candice let us use her truck, and between the two of us, we managed to get me completely moved this weekend.

  15. New e-mail addy redux March 22, 2002

    I’ve updated the original ‘New e-mail addy’ post to reflect this, but the e-mail addy I thought was going to work…won’t. So, my real new public e-mail address is djwudi@myrealbox.com.

  16. Nemesis March 22, 2002

    I’ll always have a soft spot for the original, but Paramount has just released the first promotional artwork for Star Trek X: Nemesis — a redesigned Romulan insignia!

  17. Drivers IDs are scary March 22, 2002

    I suppose it’s inevitable, but it’s still kind of scary when you read just how much can be gleaned about you from your drivers license.

  18. Nixon was no stoner March 22, 2002

    Apparently the biggest reason marijuana is illegal in the US today is because Nixon wanted it to be.

  20. Should gay priests adopt? March 22, 2002

    Okay, now this one’s interesting. A column by conservative columnist Ann Coulter, ‘Should gay priests adopt?’ Is there a point in here somewhere, or is she just trolling (being intentionally inflammatory with little purpose other than riling people up)?

    Google has replaced the links it removed yesterday after a fight with the Scientology organization. This still shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

  23. Copies are evil March 22, 2002

    Aw, crud. Republican Alaskan senator Ted Stevens has joined the (if you’ll excuse me) idiots backing a bill that would ban the sale of all electronic devices without embedded copy-protection chips, according to this WIRED story.

  25. Go Hoosiers! March 22, 2002

    I’m not much of a sports fan, but after having two parents who went to IU, it does catch my eye when the Hoosiers beat Duke by one point, and move into the final eight.
