Cage Match: Gaiman vs. Whedon September 29, 2005
…in America, it almost seems like family has become a code word for something that you can put a five-year-old in front of, go out for two hours, and come back secure in the knowledge that your child will not have been exposed to any ideas. I didn’t want to do that.

Help: CSS2 selectors September 28, 2005
I’m working on setting up a print stylesheet for the site. I’ve got it about, oh, 98% done — done enough that I could leave it as-is, except that there’s one little thing that’s bothering me that so far, I’m not able to fix. Also, a possible bug with Safari and print stylesheets.

Cal Anderson Park September 28, 2005
Another excursion for me yesterday, as I went down to Capitol Hill to explore the newly re-opened Cal Anderson Park. While some might be a tad skeptical about just what uses the park will be put to, I was quite impressed with it during my walkthrough.

Think of the Children! September 27, 2005
It’s an only in New York story. A woman was given a ticket for sitting on a park bench because she doesn’t have children.

Northgate Theatre and Medical Office Building September 26, 2005
Word came out this week that Seattle’s Northgate Mall was finally going to be getting an upgrade, part of which is going to involve demolishing the Medical Office Building and the Northgate Theatre that have long stood empty and unused. Since I had some time to kill yesterday, I wandered down to the Northgate Mall and spent some time wandering around the old buildings.

On Dissent and Disloyalty September 25, 2005
If we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence of ratial equality (sic) then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our present privileged status. Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the individual in this country costs us the … confidence of men and women who aspire to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors fought.

Yes! We Have No Bananas! September 20, 2005
This is fascinating, and — amusing as it sounds — actually pretty serious: we could be as little as five years away from a banana apocalypse…and that’s not even the worst case scenario.

Best Viewed Large September 19, 2005
I have to admit to a certain curiosity about the tendency for so many people to add ‘best viewed large’ to the descriptions of a photo they’ve uploaded to Flickr. Two things are constantly popping into my head when I see ‘best viewed large’ added to a photo…

Men In Kilts September 19, 2005
It’s the freedom, they say. The freedom to move, to feel the breeze, to stay cool on a hot summer day. And all this freedom comes simply from banishing pants to the back of the closet, say the men who wear the Utilikilt, a rugged modern take on the Celtic kilt.

Appropriate Blame September 18, 2005
I don’t think the President should have taken responsibility…. I don’t blame the President. I blame the American people. Y’all knew the man was slow when you voted him in. You can’t blame the blind man for wrecking your car when you’re the one who gave him the keys.

Presidential Potty Break September 18, 2005
President Bush wasn’t checking to make sure he could wander out to the restroom without offending anyone. The real story is that he wasn’t sure.

Secession September 17, 2005
Found this via Chris Randall. Yes, I know it’s over-simplified hyperbole, and I’m guessing that it dates from roundabout election time. So what. It gave me a grin.

…has a posse September 16, 2005
There’s more and more posses out there these days. Andre the Giant had the first, Charles Darwin has one, Darth Vader, even Tony Danza…and I know there’s more. But there was only one problem. I didn’t have a posse. So I had to take care of that.

Transitioned September 14, 2005
There are a few benefits to being unemployed for a little bit. One of those is having more available hours in the day to spend tinkering around with some of my neverending PROJECTs. I’ve just (mostly) finished converting all of my pages over to the new template styles provided by Movable Type 3.2.

Pussy Power! September 14, 2005
Story No. 1: ‘A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel — dead cats.’ Story No. 2: ‘A German inventor said he has developed a method to produce crude oil products from waste that he believes can be an answer the soaring costs of fuel, but denied a German newspaper story implying he also used dead cats.’
