I wanna push da button! February 29, 2004
Okay, so this article is New York specific, but I’d be willing to bet that just about any city works the same way. But y’know…I’m probably going to keep pushing the button.

Nickels, Sims: Quit yappin’ and start doin’! February 27, 2004
When I wrote out the list of cities supporting equal marriage rights, it was a little disappointing to not have Seattle in that list, too. Living in the area of Seattle I do, it always seemed to me that Seattle would be a natural for supporting this kind of movement.

Violence is ( bad | good ) ! February 27, 2004
Group One blames violence in video games and movies for the behavior of today’s youth. Group Two buys out entire theaters for church groups, youth groups and families to see Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion’. Any bets on just how separate those two groups really are?

An insider’s view of MS Word 6.0 February 27, 2004
Microsoft Word for the Mac versions 4 and 5 were my introductions to Word, and in the opinion of myself and many other people, were the pinnacle of Microsoft’s Mac programming. Then came Word 6.

The Passion February 25, 2004
The more I read about Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion’, the less interested I am in seeing two hours of one man being brutally tortured to death.

I’ve got a fan! February 25, 2004
Last week, almost a year since he left his original comment, Deakster came back. I now have 75 bogus trackback pings from Deakster — why, I do believe I’m being harassed, ladies and gentlemen.

Biosphere February 25, 2004
There’s an interesting article from the Philadelphia Inquirer looking at the early-90’s Biosphere experiment. I remember being fascinated by this at the time it was going on. Apparently the experiment did last the full two years planned, though not without problems.

Grey Tuesday February 24, 2004
It’s time for music fans to stand up and demand change from the music industry’s copyright cartel. Tuesday, February 24 will be a day of coordinated civil disobedience: websites will post Danger Mouse’s Grey Album on their site for 24 hours in protest of EMI’s attempts to censor this work.

Welcome to the neighborhood February 23, 2004
After watching Phil struggle with his hosting provider for a couple weeks over system resources, he and I got to talking, and in the name of good geek-karma, I offered him a spot on my personal webserver.

Introductions February 23, 2004
Got to introduce Jonas, Jon, and Jeannie to Fetish Night at the Vogue last night. Much fun was had by all, as far as I know, even if Jonas did give me crap for going out to dance to Depeche Mode’s ‘Strangelove’.

Safety != comfort February 22, 2004
In linking to the story on SUV safety yesterday, Scoble mentioned the statistical ridiculousness of being comfortable driving, yet being afraid to fly. The thing is, this is something that I can identify with — far better than I’d like, in fact.

This bandwagon just keeps rollin’ on… February 20, 2004
Thank God for people like Gavin Newsom — people who decide that it’s time to do the right thing, and do it. And congratulations to every single one of the more than 3,000 brand-new married, loving couples. It’s been a long time coming.

Now boarding Osama bin Laden… February 20, 2004
Imagine if the world’s most notorious fugitive, Osama bin Laden, attempted to board an airliner in the United States. Suppose he were clean-shaven, sporting short hair, wearing a pinstriped business suit and looked like so many other travelers that no suspicions were raised. How far might he get?

99 percent failsafe February 19, 2004
That abstinence bit worked REAL well for Mary and Joseph, didn’t it? It’s 100 percent fail-safe, after all.

Apple out of debt February 19, 2004
Impressive, really — even with the economy in the shape it’s been lately, Apple has been doing so well that they were just able to pull themselves out of debt.
