Dollars don’t equal votes June 30, 2003
Don’t ever be discouraged by dollars. Dollars don’t equal votes.

Geeks and gay queens June 30, 2003
Geeks are irritating [people], doesn’t make them bad. They are kinda like gay queens, complete with self-love and temper tantrums, except with a fetish for finickiness rather than young boys.

1602 June 30, 2003
Sir Nicholas Fury is head of the Queen’s Intelligence, Dr Stephen Strange is her court physician (and magician), the Inquisition is torturing ‘witchbreed’, many of whom have taken sanctuary in England under the wing of Carlos Javier, and now a mysterious treasure — which may be a weapon of some kind — is being sent from Jerusalem to England by the last of the Templars.

Watching the bat June 30, 2003
I have to admit, this is really amazing — the Howard Dean campaign is posting the results of their fundrasing in near-realtime, with updates every half hour, as this is the last day for fundrasing for this quarter.

Red wine June 29, 2003
Regardless of how Apple corporate wants to portray its products, the Mac isn’t a machine for the masses any more than red wine is the preferred beverage at baseball games. To be honest, the masses don’t have the capability to appreciate the elegance and depth of this platform.

Dean supporters at Pride Day June 29, 2003
It was nice to see a good contingent of Dean supporters out and about during the festivities today. I’ve got a few pictures of them, but they’re pretty buried in the photo album, so here’s some direct links…

Katharine Hepburn dies June 29, 2003
Life’s what’s important. Walking, houses, family. Birth and pain and joy — and then death. Acting’s just waiting for the custard pie. That’s all.

Streaming update June 28, 2003
Just a quick note that I’ve updated my ‘About DJ Wüdi’ page to replace the download links for my mixes with streaming audio links instead.

Manuals? June 27, 2003
Manuals? Have you actually purchased a Microsoft product in the last ten years? You don’t get any manuals. You get a ‘quick start’ booklet and a cyanide capsule and that’s it.

Glad I’m not a Republican June 27, 2003
You have to realize that this was an INTERNET poll and therefore those who participated in it had to be able to read. So if you take away the illiterate vote, which comprises about 50% of the democratic base, you get these skewed results.

Summertime, and the living is easy… June 27, 2003
It’s gorgeous outside. Sun, clear skies, temperatures in the high 70’s to low 80’s — and I have to go to work. Grumble. On the bright side, it should be a gorgeous day for the Pride Parade tomorrow!

Lots of programming and computer related jokes at Fog Creek Software. I even contributed one — woohoo!

The votes are counted, the exit polls are complete, and the results from the MoveOn primary are in. Over 300,000 MoveOn members have cast votes — a turnout bigger than the election turnout in many states — and news outlets from CBS to Reuters have covered the story as it unfolded this week.

Seattle Solstice June 27, 2003
Odd things about being a (fairly) recent Alaska transplant — this last weekend was summer solstice, and I didn’t even really notice. While I don’t think I’ll ever be moving back to Alaska, the summertimes really are some of what I miss.

Butt Kicking ;) June 27, 2003
I get the impression from what you said that your sole experience with Harry Potter so far is watching the first movie. If that’s truly the case, than I’m not too surprised that you ‘don’t get it.’ However, to use that one movie (which, as you said, really isn’t anything special) to write off the entire Harry Potter phenomenon as ‘just a book’ seems silly, at the least.

1-800-ooooops June 26, 2003
An adulterous Finn pressed all the wrong buttons as he made love in a car — unknowingly prompting his mobile phone to call home just in time for his wife to hear his mistress moan ‘I love you.’

The Fear Thing and the Sex Thing June 26, 2003
Not fearing sex is great training for not fearing anything else. Including how you look and sound on TV.

More on Lawrence v. Texas June 26, 2003
This is huge. Our nation took a huge step today toward eliminating one of the last standing impediments to true equality under the law. Just wait until the press picks this up.

Year 5 over already June 26, 2003
I didn’t really mean to stay up until 4:15am to finish Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night…I just got sucked in and lost track of time. Roughly eight or nine hours reading time over the course of the day all told, before and after work. Good stuff!

Supreme Court Tries Sodomy…and likes it! June 26, 2003
Sorry, I couldn’t help the title — especially after Slate magazine’s unfortunate choice of headline (‘Supreme Court tries sodomy’) from the beginning of this trial.

Vatican art online June 25, 2003
The Vatican has put their artwork collections online at Vatican Museums. I haven’t taken the time to dive through it extensively yet, but it looks to be a fascinating site.

IntyOS June 25, 2003
IntyOS is not a port of Contiki and does not have the same desktop environment, nor the same built-in tools. It was written from scratch in CP-1600 assembly language in order to fit exactly to the hardware specificities of the Intellivision. Its main goal is now to see how far it’s possible to go with today’s technologies on such a limited system from the early 80’s…
