Anchorage Wormhole? May 30, 2008
Somehow, in all the years of driving up and down this road, I’d never noticed the sudden jump into a residential parking lot and then back onto the road itself. I’m obviously not paying enough attention!

Lost Finale Show-to-Commercial Ratio May 30, 2008
It felt like we were getting about a 1:1 ratio of show to commercial, so starting a little before the halfway point of the two-hour program, I started jotting down when we’d switch from show to commercial.

The Mist May 27, 2008
Short review: for the first 120 minutes or so, while we had some quibbles with the decisions made, it’s a remarkably faithful adaptation of the original story, and we were really enjoying it. Unfortunately, the last five minutes of the film completely ruined it for us.

Heterosexual Questionnaire May 22, 2008
There are multiple versions of this floating around on the ‘net, and I’ve run across the concept before, but I saw this particular version for the first time this week in my Women’s Studies class, where it got a lot of laughs and some good discussions going.

Silliness: Medical Notes May 20, 2008
An e-mail from Mom. Normally I don’t pass these kinds of things on (via e-mail or the web), especially when they’re already posted on Snopes (this one is listed as ‘Undetermined’), but this one had both Prairie and I in stitches (no pun intended) as we read through it. Lots of good arguments for the importance of clarity in writing in here!

Eight Point Three May 20, 2008
I have no idea how I ended up on their radar, but I’ve just been rated an 8.3 on Blogged.com, some form of directory and rating site for weblogs.

My Desk with my New Toy May 16, 2008
When Prairie asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year, I just couldn’t come up with an answer. There really wasn’t anything that was jumping to mind — I’ve got tons of music, tons of books, a good selection of work and school clothing…. We batted ideas around for a while, until I mentioned that I’d occasionally dreamed about updating my little Wacom Graphire2 3.5x5 tablet.

Woody Allen interviews Billy Graham May 14, 2008
Y’know, it’s really sad that this kind of polite, civil, and amusing discourse is so rarely seen these days. Two people on very different sides of an issue who, rather than loudly proclaiming their absolute certainty that they are right and the other is wrong, are able to amiably chat and joke with each other about the differences in their viewpoints.

Where to Find Me in the Digital World May 14, 2008
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts, so I figured it was worth doing it again. With the number of online sites I’m part of, sometimes it’s difficult to keep track of all the ways to find me. So here’s a current rundown as of today.

Justification (and oh yeah, Happy Mother’s Day) May 11, 2008
See? My year-after-year failure to do anything big for Mother’s Day wasn’t being inconsiderate, absentminded or forgetful — I was just respecting the wishes of the woman who started the whole thing in the first place!

A couple of birthday presents showed up in the mail today. Cool! Thanks to Phil for Mark Twain’s Roughing It and to Fernando for the sci-fi anthology The Starry Rift!

Happy Birthday Royce! May 5, 2008
Once again, we are reminded that the true celebration on this day isn’t Cinco de Mayo, but rather Royce’s birthday. Too many people get that mixed up. I have no idea why.

Happy Birthday Kevin! May 4, 2008
As always, my brother is just a day and three years behind me, so today marked his 32nd birthday. I hope it was a good one!

Applescript: iPhoto or Aperture? May 4, 2008
Whenever a memory card is inserted, the Applescript launches, checks the volume name of the memory card (which is set by the camera when you format the card), launches the appropriate photo application, and then quits.

Bittersweet Birthday May 3, 2008
As of today, I’m officially old enough to be elected President of the United States — 35. I believe this is my last age-related milestone before official senior citizen status, though there may be something I’m not remembering.
