  4. Serenity April 27, 2005

    Okay, okay, okay already. When no less than four people on my reading list mention the trailer for Serenity and I’ve barely started going through my feeds for the day, I figure I should probably check it out.

  5. There is hope… April 27, 2005

    I refused to read any further than the first two sentences, but towards the end of his latest post, Kevin Smith has this to say about Revenge of the Sith…

  6. Rethinking April 27, 2005

    In science it often happens that scientists say, ‘You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,’ and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it.

  7. Lost broach April 26, 2005

    Walking up Pike St., the glint of the setting sun off of the stones in this broach caught my eye. It was wedged into a knothole in a tree by the side of the street, about a foot above eye level. Missing stones let the gold tones of the metal shine, surrounded by the purples and blues of the remaining gems.

  8. Maybe I won’t end up in hell… April 25, 2005

    A guy died and found himself waiting in the long line of judgment. As he stood there he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the pearly gates into heaven. Others, though, were led over to Satan who threw them into the burning pit.

  9. Nasty bug April 25, 2005

    I’ve spent the majority of the last 31 hours or so either unconscious or in a very woozy half-conscious state, thanks to being hit with a nasty cold bug. Loads of fun, let me tell you. Ugh.

  11. Friday Tribble Blogging April 22, 2005

    It’s such a nice day outside today that he decided to wander out to the fire escape to bask in the sunshine for a while. Sounds like a good idea to me — I’d join, if I didn’t have to head back to work after lunch!

  12. Better Living Through Apathy April 21, 2005

    As cynical as it may be, I think there just might be something to Davan’s theory in today’s Something Positive strip.

    In a move that angered many of the company’s gay employees, the Microsoft Corporation, publicly perceived as the vanguard institution of the new economy, has taken a major political stand in favor of age-old discrimination.

  14. April Seattle Weblogger’s Meetup April 20, 2005

    I finally made it out to another Weblogger’s meetup! It was long past time, as the last time I’d made it out was back in November. While I don’t have much basis for comparison, it seemed to be a pretty good turnout again, 20-some people all told, I’d guess.

  15. Heteroflexible April 20, 2005

    One of the mailing lists I belong to (though I don’t chime in terribly often) is that of the Utilikilts Yahoo! Group. For the past few days there’s been an interesting discussion of sexuality. Over the course of the discussion, I just stumbled across a new term that I’d not heard before, but that I like a lot.

  17. Pope Benedict XVI April 19, 2005

    I’ve been browsing articles about the new Pope off and on all day…have to say, I’m a bit disappointed. They seem to have picked the most staunchly conservative of the candidates.

  18. Pop! April 18, 2005

    There’s a sound effect in the song I’m listening to right now that sounds nearly exactly like the ‘pop’ noise iChat makes when I get a new message from someone I’m not currently in a conversation with and a new window pops on screen.

  19. Flickr Goodies April 18, 2005

    Back when it was formally announced that Flickr was being bought by Yahoo!, they mentioned that those of us who’d already paid for Pro accounts would be getting super mega bonuses as a reward. Word finally came out today on just what those bonuses are…

  20. Neri di Bicci, ‘Virgin and Child With Six Saints’ April 17, 2005

    As it turns out, we’d stumbled into the celebrations surrounding the return of a 15th century altar painting by Renaissance artist Neri di Bicci to St. James Cathedral after restoration work. This peaked our interest, so we followed along up to the cathedral to watch the pageant and blessing service.

  21. Acapella Nintendo April 16, 2005

    It’s not often I find something that appeals equally to two such disparate sides of my childhood, but this video of University of Wisconsin acapella group Redefined singing Nintendo theme songs manages to pull it off…and quite well, at that.

  23. Friday cat Tribble blogging! April 15, 2005

    ‘Friday Cat Blogging’ is a well-known, oft-derided, but much loved cliché in the weblogging community. I may not have a cat…but I do have a Tribble!

  24. The next logical step April 14, 2005

    First, the good news (and, for once, this is good news): federal legislation is being introduced that will protect a woman’s ability to get birth control.

  25. I hope I don’t regret this… April 14, 2005

    If you’re as much of a glutton for punishment as I obviously am, get your Star Wars Episode III tickets here. I’ll be at the 10:30pm show at the Cinerama on Thursday, May 19th.
