  2. Apple’s getting into weblogging June 29, 2004

    Very interesting tidbit of information about the server version of OS X 10.4/Tiger in Apple’s preview pages: they’re including a ‘weblog server’ based on the blojsom project, which in itself is based on the blosxom weblogging software.

  3. NYT interview with Ron P. Reagan June 29, 2004

    There’s a very interesting interview with Ron P. Reagan (President Reagan’s son) in the Times today. I like the way this man thinks.

    From Alicia, a list of the top 100 grossing movies of all time. Following in the footsteps (blogsteps?) of those before me in this particular meme, the movies that I have not seen are in bold.

  6. Apple announcements at WWDC 2004 June 28, 2004

    Somehow in all of the weekend’s festivities, I’d managed to completely space that this week was the 2004 WWDC (and I call myself a Mac geek?), so coming home to start finding reports of new toys from Apple was a very pleasant surprise.

  7. Orchids June 28, 2004

    One thing I stumbled across this weekend that I’d never seen before was the Volunteer Park Conservatory, which has five different sections filled with all manner of plants, from cacti to orchids. I’ll definitely want to head back up that way again and try to get some better shots, but for now…

  8. Sunburn June 28, 2004

    Even with sunscreen, I think six hours in the sun for yesterday’s Pride events was a bit much.

  9. Seattle Pride Parade and Festival 2004 June 27, 2004

    All the recent attention on gay rights, marriage, proposed constitutional amendments and the like have directed enough attention on the gay community to allow the Seattle Pride festivities to expand to two days, and I spent some of yesterday and much of today wandering around and enjoying the show.

  10. Björk! June 27, 2004

    Don’t get me wrong, I love Bjöork’s music, and I think she’s gorgeous. But this is always what I’ve thought she looked like: a cross between a Troll Doll and a Gelfling.

  13. KMFDM at the Fenix Underground June 26, 2004

    Just got back from tonight’s KMFDM show. Very good, and very loud (but then, this is KMFDM we’re talking about).

  15. Drunk flash fun June 24, 2004

    Very silly, and not as simple as it seems — how long can you keep this drunk man upright?

  16. Going down June 24, 2004

    A plane is about to crash. There are five passengers on board, but there are only four parachutes.

  17. That’s a big basement, and a lot of dust June 22, 2004

    I actually had to read this three times before I could parse the sentence the way it was actually intended. I kept reading it and picturing a house with a basement big enough to hold the 8.5 million dusty corpses that had just been discovered.

  18. Voices of the Beat: Burroughs, Ginsberg, and more… June 22, 2004

    The Naropa Institute has just released a large number of recordings of lectures and classes to the Internet Archive. Included are recordings of William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and many, many more beat-era poets, writers, and personalities. Incredibly cool. Right now, I’m downloading a 1980 William S. Burroughs lecture on public discourse.

  19. Seattle Storm Lauren Jackson in the buff June 22, 2004

    See what I get for not paying attention to sports? I almost entirely missed hearing about the latest overblown controversy involving an adult choosing to pose naked for a magazine being sold to adults (though not an ‘adult magazine’, i.e., porn).

  20. Buffy and Angel? June 22, 2004

    Firstly: is Angel as good of a series as I’m finding Buffy to be? Should I start working my way through this series also? And if so, how should I watch both shows — finish Buffy and move on to Angel, or watch both at the same time?

    Kirsten pointed me to a Salon article following up on the bizarre coronation of Rev. Moon. I’m so flabbergasted by this event.
