Laughter is good September 30, 2002
However, a good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more’s the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and be spent in that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than perhaps you think for.

Oooh - he’s cute! September 30, 2002
Marco the Magnificent Magician isn’t going to swoop down on you, black cape a-flappin’, tap you on the dick with his magic wand, and — poof! presto, homo! — you’re a homosexual!

The hunt is on: MT, MySQL, and PHP September 29, 2002
While I’ve done my best to track any changes I’ve made to MovableType in my ‘Sitebits’ archive category, I’ll freely admit it’s not organized quite as well as it could be.

I just got back from a nice goodbye dinner for Dez, who’s leaving on Tuesday to move to Toronto to live with her finacee.

A link for dad September 27, 2002
Each weekday, the Word Spy presents a new word, its definition, and a citation (usually from a major newspaper or magazine) that shows how people are using the word. You also get extra goodies such as background on the word’s formation, a list of related words from the Word Spy database, quotations on words and language, and more.

Erk - how did I manage this one? September 27, 2002
Okay, this is interesting. It appears that I’ve managed to mung up the code for my pages somewhere so that someone using Internet Explorer 5.2 under Mac OS X cannot leave a comment. Other browsers can, however. I’ll use the comments for this post as a testing ground to try to narrow things down.

Thoughts on EspressoBlog September 26, 2002
I’ve mentioned a couple times that I’ve been using EspressoBlog to make posts. In the process, I’ve come up with a few issues and ideas, and figured a post here (and TrackBack ping to Phil, since it works in EB now!) would work.

Who says the Mac doesn’t have any software? September 26, 2002
One of the constant things I get from Wintel people is that there isn’t any software for the Mac — in fact, I heard this just the other day, talking with someone at work.

Death penalty unconstitutional September 26, 2002
If the death penalty is to be part of our system of justice, due process of law and the fair trial guarantees of the Sixth Amendment require that standards and safeguards governing the kinds of evidence juries may consider must be rigorous, and constitutional rights and liberties scrupulously protected.

I’m official September 25, 2002
I should have done this before, but finally, roughly nine months after installing it, I’ve finally paid for and registered MovableType, the software I use for my blogs.

Linkage September 25, 2002
I just noticed that both Falling Awake and db link to me. Nice to know someone else out there finds me worth checking in on for one reason or another — much appreciated!

A gun for words September 24, 2002
The problem with reading wonderful writing by truly great authors is that my own writing suffers, dramatically, in comparison. Everything I write lately just sits on the page, flat, dejected, and suffering. If there was such a thing as a gun for words, I would shoot each of mine and give them a quick and painfree end.

Rearranging a bit September 24, 2002
I’ve done a bit of reorganizing to the sidebar, in an effort to group things together a bit more logically, and move sections that are more likely to be used closer to the top (above the ‘fold’, so to speak).

40.5 days September 24, 2002
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on converting every audio CD I own to .mp3 format on my computer. I just got done tonight — and the results are kinda frightening, in a very cool sort of way.

Why can’t Bush speak? September 23, 2002
He’s made it clear repeatedly: George W. Bush is always right, George W. Bush can do no wrong. And now he’s accidentally made the point again, by showing himself incapable — psychologically, and therefore physically — of saying ‘Shame on me.’

‘Up-skirt’ photography ‘reprehensible’ but legal September 23, 2002
The state’s voyeurism law protects people who are in a place where they ‘would have a reasonable expectation of privacy’…. But the court found the law doesn’t apply to filming people in a public place, even if it’s underneath their clothes.

More TrackBack mumbo-jumbo September 23, 2002
Phil makes a good case for not including TrackBack metadata in the HTML for the main site page. This works well for me, as I’d previously struggled with it causing problems with the HTML validation for my site.

Goth isn’t dead…it just wishes it were. September 21, 2002
Goth will never die. Of course for fun we could take it out, bury it, and then dig it up later to see what it looks like.

Reviewed! September 21, 2002
Last week I stumbled across Bloggy Opinions a blog review website. It seemed fairly entertaining, and the reviewers seemed to do a good even job of reviewing the sites they visited, so I went ahead and submitted ‘The Long Letter’ to them.

Nu Shortcuts in School R 2 Much 4 Teachers September 21, 2002
Melanie Weaver was stunned by some of the term papers she received from a 10th-grade class she recently taught…. ‘They would be trying to make a point in a paper, they would put a smiley face in the end…. If they were presenting an argument and they needed to present an opposite view, they would put a frown.’

I think I just heard gunshots. Eight, very quick, all together, no pauses. Creepy.

Violence in the media September 20, 2002
People say, ‘After Columbine, do you feel a responsibility about the way you portray violence?’ And I’m like, ‘No, I felt a responsibility about the way I portrayed violence the first time I picked up a pen.’
