eWeek best and worst of 2003 December 31, 2003
Forget about all this selling your soul to the devil crap — he’s so incompetent, he couldn’t even get a wish to be ‘famous’ right, and I ended up with ‘infamous’ instead. Can I get a refund on this deal?

Trouble in Georgetown December 31, 2003
As I got off the bus and started walking down the street, I heard a little commotion in one of the alleyways to my left. Looking over, I saw a young lady frantically running down the alleyway, coat open, trying to keep her footing in the fresh snow.

This shouldn’t be a surprise December 29, 2003
I should be used to this kind of thing by now, but it still catches me off guard when I notice little things like being the second primary Google result for ‘apple g5’.

Nobody’s tried this yet? December 28, 2003
Frankly, I’d be more than a little surprised if nobody had attempted zero-g sex yet, no matter how strenuously NASA denies it. Still, if you’re looking to be the ‘official’ first couple to give it a shot (and happen to be absolutely filthy rich), just give the Russian space agency a call!

Books, sir…books. December 28, 2003
What did we do for endless and disheartening time-sinks before computers? I never lost twenty hours trying to make a fridge work properly, or to make a chair I’d accidentally upgraded turn itself back into something you could sit on.

A quiet Christmas December 25, 2003
It’s been a nice Christmas holiday this year. Due to financial difficulties, I wasn’t able to head up to Anchorage to be with my family for Christmas, so I ended up spending Christmas on my own for the first time in my life.

Return of the King nitpicks December 25, 2003
After watching RotK for the second time today, I’m still quite solidly convinced that Jackson’s trilogy is, quite simply, one of the greatest achievements in filmmaking in recent years. However, that doesn’t stop me from finding the occasional odd thing to mention…such as two goofs, and a few editing choices that I’m not entirely happy with.

NYPD cop busted for blogging December 23, 2003
A NYPD police officer is under investigation because of what he wrote on his weblog. However, where when I landed in hot water due to my blog it was due to a single stupid mistake, this guy appears to have been bragging about grossly abusing his position as an officer of the law.
