Time to get nekkid! January 30, 2003
Here I’ve been doing my best to keep this weblog of mine fairly solidly PG-rated, with the occasional slip into PG-13, and now I find that if only I’d shown some skin, I might have been eligible for the First Annual Nude Weblog Awards!

Vonnegut weighs in on Iraq January 30, 2003
I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup detat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka Christians, and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or ‘PPs.’

Which OS am I? January 29, 2003
I stay away from a lot of the ‘Which [random entity] are you?’ tests floating around these days, but this one made me laugh: Which OS are you?

Does the name Janus ring a bell? January 29, 2003
The US intends to shatter Iraq ‘physically, emotionally and psychologically’ by raining down on its people as many as 800 cruise missiles in two days, and yet, facing its most chronic shortage in oil stocks for 27 years, the US has this month turned to an unlikely source of help - Iraq.

R.I.P. Opera January 29, 2003
While there had been rumors of an Apple-branded web browser for a while, Safari’s introduction at this most recent MacWorld took a lot of people by surprise, and watching the reaction has been quite interesting. Yesterday, Opera Software (makers of the Opera webbrowser) announced that they may stop development on the Mac version of their browser.

State of the Union January 28, 2003
I didn’t get to listen in to the Bush’s State of the Union address tonight, as I was at work, but I just pulled down the CNN transcript to look over. Let’s see what we’ve got…

I need a drool cup January 28, 2003
Oh my lord. Apple just revamped their desktop line and dropped prices — severely — on their monitors.

An honest job application January 28, 2003
Rick sent me this a long time ago, and having job stuff on my brain, I remembered it and dug it out to post here. What follows is (at least in theory) an actual job application submitted to McDonald’s by a 17 year old applicant. He got the job.

Crossing my fingers January 28, 2003
So, a while back, I’d gone poking around Apple’s job site, as it was rumored that they were going to be opening an Apple Store just outside of Seattle, in Bellingham, and I signed up for their job search. Tonight I got e-mailed details on four job openings for the upcoming Bellevue store, and decided what the heck — it’s worth a shot! So, I’ve applied for two of the positions: Mac Specialist and Mac Genius.

I want Trinity for my birthday January 27, 2003
Anyway, one of the big deals about the Superbowl is always the various commercials and trailers that are shown during the game, since it’s always got such a huge audience. The majority of these generally wouldn’t concern me any more than the Superbowl itself would, but I did find out that the latest trailer for the next two Matrix films was released, and is already available on the net.

Lizette& January 26, 2003
A while back, while digging through my friend Kory’s mp3.com page, I stumbled across a remix he did of a song called ‘Breathe,’ by an artist going by Lizette&. I downloaded his mix and liked it a lot. Curious by that point, I decided to see if I could track down the original version to see what Kory had started with.

Reminder - DJ Wüdi mixes January 25, 2003
Just a quick reminder for those of you who may be new to my site, and might not have bounced around some of the rest of what I have up here. Over on my DJ Wüdi propaganda page, I have eleven mix sessions available for download as .mp3 files. They range from 22 minutes to an hour and seventeen minutes in length, and from 26 Mb to 88 Mb in file size, so you’ll probably want to have a broadband connection (or a lot of patience) to download them.

MT upgrades January 25, 2003
I’ve just added a new plug-in to MovableType — SmartyPants. It’s a relatively minor thing, but one that’s nice to have — it automatically converts common characters into their typographically-correct versions. I’ve also hacked into the code to build TrackBack pings as they happen, speeding up individual page requests.

Over my head January 24, 2003
I’m having a hell of a time getting Image::Magick (a command-line set of Unix tools for manipulating graphics) installed and working on my system so that MovableType can see it. Been banging my head against this for most of the last two days, without much success so far.

If it feels good, do it. January 23, 2003
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.

Jobs for everyone January 22, 2003
I doubt this is very serious (or likely), but apparently someone has set up a grassroots movement to elect Apple CEO Steve Jobs president!

State of the Union January 22, 2003
Some people think it’s more important to give a big campaign contribution than to vote…that it’s “the American way” to buy access and influence with big money…that it’s OK if public policy is sold to the highest bidder. Some even think that the only real democracy is in the marketplace, where we all supposedly vote with our dollars.

Small World January 22, 2003
Back when I worked at TimeFrame, I worked with a ‘gentleman’ by the name of J.C. Truly a piece of work, this guy was — I mean, I hate to call the guy a prick, but the only reason he’d ever wear a tie would be to keep the foreskin from snapping up over his face.

Singing my own song January 22, 2003
I’ve always tried to do my best to sing my own song. Some days I do better than others, of course, and it’s easy to get lost in the chorus, but at least I can always keep trying.
