Go Judy! January 31, 2004
An absolutely beautiful article at The Nation looking at the media’s inability to cope with the fact that Judy Dean is exactly what she appears to be — a normal, well-adjusted independent woman in a healthy, loving relationship with her husband who doesn’t want to abandon her medical practice to be trotted out at every political opportunity during the campaign season.

411 Length Required January 31, 2004
Recently, ThinkGeek started selling HTTPanties — a set of panties with either ‘200 OK’ or ‘403 Forbidden’ emblazoned across the front. Cute idea.

The Howard Dean Aerobics Program January 31, 2004
Need some exercise? Just go to a Howard Dean appearance should he come through your town. I swear, with the number of standing ovations after every major point Dean makes, his supporters are up and down more often than your average Episcopal congregation!

Miracles never cease January 31, 2004
As it turns out, last week our building was apparently purchased by a new leasing agency, so we weren’t sure what sort of deals or possibilities might exist with the new management. We finally got confirmation on the new setup, and I’m not going to be able to get a free months rent for renewing my lease.

I love the British January 31, 2004
Less than you seem to imagine is spent on ‘junkets for Bunterish lickspittles’ and ‘dancing whores’, whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, ‘that box-ticking facade of a university system’.

iSight issues January 31, 2004
Mike recently posted about some of the pros and cons to being the owner of an iSight — pros including the simple fact that the iSight is simply a damn good camera; cons including the Mac-only nature of iChat and the somewhat less-than-satisfactory mounting options that come stock out of the box.

Some people will go to any lengths to get a ring; others, having had one for awhile, will go to any lengths to chuck it into a volcano.

Weblog Review January 30, 2004
From a suggestion by Doc on the TypePad User Group, I’m submitting my site to The Weblog Review. I have no idea how long it will take them to get around to me, but in the meantime, I’ll just hope that they have nice things to say.

Pickled Dragon found January 30, 2004
Everyone else is convinced it’s a hoax, but just for fun, I think I’ll enjoy playing with the idea that this pickled dragon could be real.

The ‘Dean Scream’ - in context January 30, 2004
In an unusual media ‘mea culpa,’ however, Diane Sawyer followed up on her interview with Howard and Judy Dean by taking a look at not just the footage that was broadcast all over the world with a direct-from-the-microphone audio feed, but at footage taken from within the crowd itself.

Blasphemy January 29, 2004
I’m probably the last Mac blogger to mention this, but I just couldn’t let it pass by. There are special circles of Hell reserved for people who do this…

Fire! January 29, 2004
Going to my window, I looked down the four stories to the street and saw fire trucks all over the place — one heading down the street to the west of our building, another diagonally across the intersection of 8th and Seneca, a Fire Department blazer parked on the lawn of Town Hall, and I could see reflections from another set of emergency lights in the window of the building across the street.

Living my dreams January 26, 2004
Tonight, as I left the dance floor and stood against the wall, I had to smile. Years ago, things like this were nothing more than a fantasy, something I’d seen and knew that I wanted to be a part of, but didn’t have the opportunities to take advantage of. Now, though, it’s a fantasy no longer, but a world that I’m part of.

You have to wonder about the gift shop… January 26, 2004
Something for a list of places to go should I ever visit Los Angeles: the brand spanking (ahem) new sex museum.

The Joys of McDonalds January 25, 2004
His mission: To eat three meals a day for 30 days at McDonald’s and document the impact on his health. Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock’s entire body deteriorated.

Orkut January 24, 2004
Much of the buzz this past week that I utterly and completely ignored has been about Orkut, Google’s entry into the social networking trend. I’ve never been too hot about these things — they seem kind of silly, reducing friendships and acquaintances to the level of Pokemon characters (collect the whole set!).
