No more standalone IE May 31, 2003
Also — does this also kill IE for the Mac? IE already hadn’t been updated for the Mac in ages, and with the proliferation of alternative browsers available out there for OS X — including Apple’s own Safari — has Microsoft decided it’s time to concede the browser war as far as the Mac platform goes?

Hoisted by their own petard May 30, 2003
I linked to this yesterday, but seeing as how permission has been granted to reprint and republish, I thought this was well worth making a full post of its own.

US Secret Biological Experimentation May 30, 2003
1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War.

So, where are these weapons again? May 29, 2003
Two posts over at Daily Kos worth reading: Rockefeller rips lack of WMDs and Blair under fire. Apparently people are starting to get a little steamed about the amazing disappearing Weapons of Mass Destruction we went to war over.

Stop George! May 29, 2003
We need to show Americans who don’t even know that they have a reason to disagree with George that they do have a reason. And we need to encourage those who have not voted in the past that in 2004, their vote will make a difference. Remember, the last George was considered unbeatable less than a year before his defeat.

Fact-checking Reuters re: iTunes May 29, 2003
Normally I don’t have much problem with the stories I see on Reuters — but then, I’m not nearly as well-versed in many of the subjects I read from them. If the rest of their news reporting is as solid as this story was, I should just stop paying attention.

Go check out this timeline of quotes referencing the claimed Iraqi WMD’s. It’d be funny if it weren’t real.

Glitch May 29, 2003
The following is a short story inspired in part by a dream I had last night. Other inspirations will probably become blazingly obvious as you read.
Enjoy — while it’s very likely far from perfect, it was fun to write.Posted in Fiction.

Dream inspiration May 28, 2003
On the plus side, I’m awake because I just woke up from a very vivid dream that I think would make a kick-ass short story, so after I woke up I wrote down as much of it as I could remember, as fast as I could. I just hope that I’m not half-remembering something I’ve read before and thinking it’s an original idea, because if it is an original idea — I rock.

Apple updates iTunes, web explodes May 27, 2003
Today, as I took the odd moment here and there to keep an eye on happenings in the web world, I was somewhat startled to watch Apple provoke absolutely ridiculous amounts of stürm und drang with an update to iTunes.

The Matrix runs Windows May 27, 2003
I can’t believe that nobody has done a ‘Which OS does the Matrix run on?’. It’s obviously Windows though.

Bad Erotica Contest May 27, 2003
She had never known a man like Julio before. When he came and boldly sat next to her, the musky scent of his manliness turned her from tigress to gentle kitten. She belonged to him before his supple buttocks pressed aggressively against the tattered faux-leather covering of the barstool.

From the ashes of Auschwitz May 27, 2003
THE US has floated plans to turn Guantanamo Bay into a death camp, with its own death row and execution chamber. Prisoners would be tried, convicted and executed without leaving its boundaries, without a jury and without right of appeal, The Mail on Sunday newspaper reported yesterday.

Politics in the Matrix? May 27, 2003
The way the Matrix Reloaded points out the multiple layers of control built into society is perhaps the most potent of the messages it carries. Its one thing to make people aware of the first layer of control. Its far more powerful to make them aware of the way that a built in ‘resistance’ can be used to solidify the power structure.
