Where it all began… September 30, 2004
In case there was any curiosity where my tendency for innuendo-laced humor, flirting, and the occasional blatantly sexual comment come from, I present you with the following evidence…

Once More, With Feeling September 30, 2004
Season four of Buffy had what is so far my all-time favorite episode — ‘Hush’ — but last night I watched what’s now a very close second: ‘Once More, With Feeling’.

First Presidential ‘debate’ September 30, 2004
(The following are my hastily-scribbled thoughts while watching tonight’s presidential debate — unpolished, written on the fly. Be warned. [grin])

Recently, a letter from Wall Street Journal reporter Farnaz Fassihi started getting passed around the ‘net, detailing just what day-to-day life in Iraq is like at the moment. That letter has now been confirmed as genuine.

Future past tense? Past future? September 30, 2004
There’s sure a lot of past tense in this article about the presidential debates — which don’t happen for another five hours or so.

Sounds good… September 30, 2004
I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged.

Yet another set of library photos September 28, 2004
While the new Seattle Central Library has been the subject of so many photosets across the Seattle blogosphere that it’s likely well on its way to becoming passé, I had to have my day.

Bush’s hometown paper endorses Kerry September 28, 2004
Ouch. That’s gotta sting — the newspaper for Bush’s adopted hometown of Crawford, TX has expressed its discontent with Bush’s presidency and endorsed John Kerry for President.

A Day in the Life of Joe Republican September 28, 2004
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.

One million plus, baby! September 27, 2004
I haven’t been checking often enough to know exactly when this happened, but at some point in the past few days (sometime on Friday, I think), my hit counter passed one million.

Interrobang‽ September 27, 2004
If I ever decide to move away from ‘eclecticism’ as a site name (which I’m not likely to do anytime soon), I think ‘interrobang‽’ would be a great replacement.

Rules for the Kerry/Bush debates September 27, 2004
Not far removed from a total farce, unfortunately — still, I’d like to be able to see them. Unfortunately, as I don’t bother with television, I’m not sure what options I have. Does anyone happen to know if there are any plans to webcast any or all of the debates? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Zero! September 27, 2004
More than a week after returning from my vacation, I’ve finally reduced the number of unread items in NetNewsWire to zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. I’m caught up!

Muldoon Road, Anchorage, Alaska September 27, 2004
Another 360° panoramic photograph from my recent vacation. This time, I’m standing on one end of a pedestrian overpass on Muldoon road, just beyond the curve where Muldoon becomes Tudor (the curve can be seen on the extreme left and right of the image).

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow September 26, 2004
In the midst of watching all of the recently-released Star Wars films (okay, sure, they’re not quite what they were when I first saw them, but they’re still a lot of fun), Prairie and I took a break on Saturday to wander down the hill to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Spenard Lake, Anchorage, Alaska September 25, 2004
One of the panoramic shots I took while on vacation in Anchorage &dmash; Spenard Lake, which together with Lake Hood makes up the single busiest seaplane airport in the world (over 90,000 operations in 1994).

My parents were kiddos too! September 24, 2004
Now that dad has a scanner that can see slides, he’s been going through and adding a lot of old photos to the family photo album. I love seeing these — it’s so fun to go through shots of my folks when they were around my age (or younger — as in this photo, taken at age 20 at their wedding rehearsal dinner).

What if…? September 24, 2004
What would America look like if it were in Iraq’s current situation? The population of the US is over 11 times that of Iraq, so a lot of statistics would have to be multiplied by that number.

Stupid humor: President Freezes Tourists’ Assets September 24, 2004
Inspired by a throwaway comment on /., I took a Sept. 24, 2001 Presidential address and replaced every instance of ‘terrorism’ with ‘tourism’. Just think of it as an answer to the age-old question of, ‘If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot them?’

Politicizing Warfare September 24, 2004
The Washington Monthly is asking about the fantasyland that George Bush seems to be living in, when waging a war in which the strategy seems to be based not on any real situations, but on election-year political situations.
