The New Yorker endorses Barack Obama. While reading their article—a long one as is their signature, insightful style—I was listening to Q Lazzarus' Goodbye Horses on repeat. Undoubtedly, I teared up.

Oh my. The more days go by with CBS News releasing clips daily of Katie Couric's Palin interviews... the more Katie Couric gets hotter... and imagining how I'll melt under her stare on a "gotcha" question. More Katie Couric please.
This weekend, I discovered Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieslak of Polish cinema.
Biking in the rain is pretty nice, though I wish I didn't wear glasses.
The candidacy (and presidential win) of Barack Obama is the JFK of my time.
Trying to send a political message to green masses? Remember that:

I commemorate so-and-so's wedding over the weekend by rereading this interview.

Why can't tech supporters answer all the questions I ask, rather than the select ones that they obvious chose to answer for timeliness? Quick responses are moot if I'm going to have to keep messaging them for one answer after another.
Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet

The one who posted these photos of early 90s era hackers, textfiles, links to a documentary about the BBS. Wickedddd.
Fast forward to modern times and we have idiots like Andrew Cuomo who encourage ISPs to block of entire sections of BBS-like networks.

Searching for firmware downloads on the Apple site is a bitch. Their search function returns pretty bad hits, also including results that I'm not looking for at all (ie. Airport Express listed when I called for Airport Extreme)!

火星のカノン (The Mars Canon, 2002) — this is a great find.
Ah! Now I recall why the guitars from the 刺青 OST are so appealing, apart from the fact that I watched the film. Its sound is similar to Silent Hill 2 OST.

内田有紀 (Yuki Uchida) is an actress at her prime in the early 1990s. Ohhhh yes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIiymGik3Cg – the first scene is from その時、ハートは盗まれた.
I have just placed an order for:
The two orders qualified for Super Saver Shipping. That's great and all but James Jeans' book is out on October 14, 2008 so um, -_- I won't have either books in my goggling hands for awhile.
Acronyms describing people who have too much time on their hands:
I need girl friends with a brain.
I just thought I should say, “thank you,” to Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki, for Skim.

I'm annoyed that Edward Norton gets to kiss Liv Taylor in The Incredible Hulk.
Tomboys of Vietnam — wow, go Vietnam!
more comediennes:
Wow, the vocals in Enigma's Return to Innocence was done by Difang Duana, a member of a Taiwanese indigenous tribe.

...Wow, check out the way she speaks. British-accented to the point of sophistication, yet very slurred. I really dig her voice x_x I'm watching the clip for the 10th time just to listen to it!
While listening to Buffalo Daughter's Discotheque du Paradis, I was looking at these pictures and teared up.
Oh my goodness... Here comes Sia!
And also, any music with cello is a plus in my book.
The decreasing age of kids entering puberty through the decades have always been a wonder to me. Might polycarbonate plastics be the culprit (and not the adoption of frozen foods, instant TV meals, etc)?
In the lab, even low exposure levels — adjusted for body weight — have been linked to a variety of sex-hormone-imbalance effects, including breast and prostate cancer, early puberty, miscarriage, low sperm count, and immune-system changes.
I'll be coding up a website that will be loosely related to Alliance Atlantis productions like FoodTV, HGTV, etc. I initially balked at the possibility of creating such a similarly massive site and did a quick research.
FoodTV uses (or maybe used, before the CanWest bought-out) the Vignette CMS. Found this tip-off byway of Snipplr.
A story like this reminds me muchly of The Wire.
I've been watching The Wire, the only cops and drugs show to turn me to tears. 3x11 scenes brought out countless, oh man.
Every year, I find a reason to be dissatisfied with my web host, psychz.net. This year, it's that their version of PHP is still in the 4.x.x's. It's time to move on to version 5 now, isn't it?
I will consider HostIgnition when I'm ready to jump.
Deise Tigrona, whoa, what a force!
Her song, Injeção, was sampled in M.I.A.'s Bucky Done Gun.
I'm lovin' this kinda Brazilian funk!
