Underworld September 29, 2003
I found it very disappointing and frustrating. There was a lot of promise and potential in the film, which unfortunately was entirely wasted. I’d almost prefer that a film be flat-out bad, but when you can see the seeds of a worthwhile effort in the midst of the crap, it makes it just that much harder to deal with.

Excluding OS X? September 28, 2003
Anybody want to take a stab at explaining to me just what operating system Microsoft thinks I’m running on my Mac that has a version number equal to or greater than 10.0, and yet excludes OS X?

Apology accepted September 26, 2003
I just checked back to Laura’s site, and realized that she issued an apology on the 19th — just a case of a ‘newbie’ getting a little over-excited. In the long run, not that big of a deal.

Dean/Clark? September 26, 2003
Essentially, as I look at it all together, Clark worries me. At least to me, he’s coming off as wishy-washy. He strikes me as someone who’d make a very good cabinet member or advisor to the President on military matters, but not someone I’d be terribly thrilled to be voting into office.

Wanna get the FBI’s attention? September 26, 2003
The following is (theoretically) a list of (most of) the (suspected) keywords. So if I suddenly stop posting here…this post is probably why.

Love, Natalie September 25, 2003
Saddam Hussein called and wants to know where his weapons of mass destruction are. Listen Saddam, I already told you, I don’t know. You’re going to have to call the White House on that one.

Burning toast brightly, proudly, and with great beauty September 25, 2003
In the end, the school board voted unanimously to keep Brave New World and Stranger in a Strange Land, while giving parents more control over their students’ choices by requiring principals to automatically offer an alternative to a challenged book.

Credit where credit is due September 24, 2003
I’m fairly obvious about having a strong anti-Microsoft bias. However, I do have to admit (and really don’t mind doing so) that the Macintosh team at Microsoft does some truly kick-ass work.

Diebold’s voting machines September 24, 2003
There’s a good article on Salon looking at the issues with Diebold’s electronic voting machines, which are being used to replace troublesome punch-card voting machines after the 2000 voting debacle. It doesn’t look like our votes are any safer under the new system.

Has an American president ever delivered such a bafflingly impertinent speech before the General Assembly as the one George W. Bush gave this morning?

More on Gibson’s ‘The Passion’ September 23, 2003
Dad sent me a couple articles over the last few days looking at Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion’, lately seeming to be the most controversial religious film that almost no one’s seen since Dogma was in pre-release. Anyway, if you’re at all interested in the film or the controversy around it, both of these are worth a look.

Matrix/Web September 23, 2003
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain but you feel it, that there’s something wrong with the web. You don’t know what it is but it’s there like a splinter in your mind driving you mad.
