Pickled dragon…published! March 31, 2004
Last January, I passed on a story involving a pickled baby dragon in a jar that was making its way around the ‘net. Turns out the entire thing was a hoax…a hoax that landed the perpetrator a book deal!

Exploring Hitchcock March 31, 2004
So far, the Hitchcock biography is fascinating, and I’m only about a third of the way through. I did, however, realize that while I’ve certainly enjoyed what I’ve seen of Hitchcock’s films, I’ve actually seen very few: Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds are the only ones!

This is boring? March 30, 2004
I, along with many (most?) people, have a tendency to lament about how boring my life is. After all, my general day-to-day routine is usually just that: routine. I get up, dink around on the ‘net, go to work, come home, dink around on the ‘net, and go to bed.

Sosumi March 30, 2004
On the bright side, webloggers now have protection against libel suits. On the downside, though, the case that prompted this decision is truly bizarre, and I have to feel sorry for the woman whose case was just overturned by the ruling.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind March 28, 2004
Quite simply, a must-see, and I’ll be very surprised if another film bests it this year. That may sound a little odd at not quite three full months into the year, but yes, the movie was that damn good.

I love cats. I love to pet their fur. I love to scratch their neck and chins and listen to them purr.

New I, Robot trailer out March 26, 2004
There’s a new trailer for the movie I, Robot, based on Isaac Asimov’s writing. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, but, as with all movie properties based on works that I’m a fan of, there was some definite trepidation.

Time for a little blatant self-promotion March 26, 2004
A few times in the past, I’ve come up with ideas that amuse me, and I’ve put a couple of them onto t-shirts (and other gear) through CafePress. Unfortunately, they only got a few days of exposure after they went up, as their announcement posts scrolled off the main page of my site and into my archives.

The Need for Speed March 26, 2004
As fun as high speed can be, it’s often no real contest against someone who knows how to drive and how to handle their car in various road conditions. (This was inspired by The wrath of the Evil Elle~Noir.)

Presidential compassion March 25, 2004
Y’know, if I were part of one of the hundreds of families who have lost a member to the war in Iraq, I wouldn’t be very amused at all about Bush turning it into a joke…

Always look on the bright side of life… March 24, 2004
Spurred by the recent success of Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ’, the Python boys have decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of their films by re-releasing it to the theaters. Which film? ‘The Life of Brian’, of course!

The Untitled Project March 24, 2004
My goal at that point was to wander through the city, taking random pictures, then come home, take them into Photoshop, and remove every logo, every piece of identifiable advertising, leaving only the ‘empty’ buildings, automobiles, and walls. It seemed like a really interesting idea.

Daschle’s kicking butt March 24, 2004
The purpose of government isn’t to make the President look good. It isn’t to produce propaganda or misleading information. It is, instead, to do its best for the American people and to be accountable to the American people.

Adding to the TypeKey fray March 24, 2004
Okay, so while I wasn’t paying much attention, TypeKey became the most recent firestorm to sweep through the weblog world. By now, you probably already know at least the basics of TypeKey — and if not, then you’re not likely to be interested in the rest of this rambling.
