I am getting ready to have to reboot my machine (yes, I can plan it days in<\/p>\n
advance because<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n this system<\/a> simply doesn’t crash on it’s own) and I looked to see that I<\/p>\n have 19 copies of my browser open and 22 pending email replies. So I have to<\/p>\n clean it off. <\/p>\n For the email that means finishing my posts to various mailing lists and for<\/p>\n the browser I found that most of those pages were things I wanted to comment on<\/p>\n here. <\/p>\n Links of the moment:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dream Silicon<\/a> is a website with some interesting works and a moderately<\/p>\n cool use of Flash in the interface. It’s not perfect but it is an enjoyable<\/p>\n visit and shows some of what Flash is flexible enough to do. Oh yeah, it’s<\/p>\n mostly a virtual babe site.<\/li>\n The<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cinnamon Challenge 2001 [CC2K1]<\/a> is just damn funny. Reminiscent of the<\/p>\n best days of<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bad Candy<\/a>. Some poor fool winds up with a mouthful of Cinnamon and a<\/p>\n lifetime of remembered horror.<\/li>\n While we are talking about edible horror, take a<\/p>\n look at<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Tamarind Show<\/a> bad food and the resulting horror, in full motion video!<\/p>\n If your not sure why this is bad, look at the<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tamarind<\/a> commentary at<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bad Candy<\/a>. This is closely related to what is known as the "Sabroso<\/a><\/p>\n incident". Not convinced? Well let’s look at a Bad Candy excerpt:<\/p>\n "My tongue instantaneously wilted, and my<\/p>\n eyes began to water. I made two feeble attempts to bite through the brittle,<\/p>\n brine-encrusted outer layers before my survival instincts kicked in, causing<\/p>\n my jaw to lock open and the Sabroso chunk to involuntarily fall out of my<\/p>\n mouth and down the drain, accompanied by a large volume of drool." –full<\/p>\n text<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n The Filthy Critic<\/a> is not a big fan of a film I secretly suspect will be<\/p>\n amusing to inflict on my friends on DVD.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Black Knight<\/a> was taken out back and beaten with a stick dipped in sarcasm.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MAXIMOG<\/a> looks like the geed SUV of someone’s wet dreams. Modular and<\/p>\n rugged though a bit short on looks. You just have to check out the<\/p>\n <\/p>\n trailer<\/a> and optional<\/p>\n <\/p>\n add on vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slashdot discusses<\/a> it as well, and yeah allt he normal eco freak bitching<\/p>\n about SUV’s and gas mileage is there.<\/li>\n What is the world coming too anyway when<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Microsoft<\/a> does something so right it gets<\/p>\n <\/p>\n defended on Slashdot<\/a>? This is becoming an interesting trend. In times past<\/p>\n the "editors" on Slashdot could get away with any stupid, ill informed comment<\/p>\n as long as it was a slander against Microsoft… but those days might be over.<\/p>\n Take a look and see how many folks over there seem to like WindowsXP.<\/li>\n A weblog I just came across today has this story<\/p>\n to relate about "The<\/p>\n dumbest girls in the world<\/a>". Very funny!<\/li>\n Someone who has a real problem with Star Trek<\/p>\n posted this tasty morsel:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Fascist Ideology of Star Trek Militarism, Collectivism, & Atheism<\/a>.<\/li>\n The folks over on Metafilter are having a<\/p>\n <\/p>\n thread<\/a> discussing the<\/p>\n <\/p>\n arrest of a 9 year old girl<\/a> on the charges of molesting younger children.<\/p>\n It just gets sillier all the time.<\/li>\n Shock #1: A female sporting coach was having an<\/p>\n affair with a female student. <\/p>\n Shock #2: Just<\/p>\n <\/p>\n reading about<\/a> it is really hot!<\/li>\n While we are talking about hot things, is it just<\/p>\n me or is anyone else disappointed that professional cheerleaders are so amazed<\/p>\n by this. It turns out that (gasp!) football players in the NFL occasionally<\/p>\n found a way to<\/p>\n <\/p>\n look into the locker rooms of cheerleaders<\/a>. Of course here are lawsuits.<\/li>\n A while back I asked you to support<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sarah Jane<\/a> in her bid to become the most downloaded woman on the net.<\/p>\n Well, it looks like it worked. Go look.<\/li>\n Back to computers, it looks like a<\/p>\n <\/p>\n really sexy Windows ad<\/a> will never come to the US.<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Maya Angelou rises to the challenge of writing for Hallmark<\/a>. I have<\/p>\n personally never read anything by her, but some people I know think she is<\/p>\n great. The folks over at Metafilter<\/p>\n\n
