An old blog post of mine, “A Break from Our Normal Programming”, has been included in the Chattanooga Pulse’s “Sketches of 9/11“.

Originally from 2002, I rewrote parts of this post a couple of weeks ago.

Wired News: Digg Fights Top Users For Control – Some of the generals in Digg.com’s army of volunteer news readers are in revolt over new abuse controls that could undermine their influence on the site.

Blah blah blah. I spent some time on Digg, but it just seemed like a buncha bullshit to me. They are >< this close to breaking into a LiveJournal drama…

I finally got my new (to me) iBook and I really need a copy of Tiger. I had a copy of Tiger but it’s got cracked in a move from one storage to another. Anyone in the Chattanooga area (or nearby) have one I could borrow for a few days?

(i have a few vox invites to trade too)

VIA Flutterby! : hotness

Very hot and very nsfw. Beautiful tale of denial and some nice photos of rope bondage.

Vote NO on 1 TN || A Fair Tennessee Votes No

Two people love each other. Why shouldn’t they have the opportunity to get married?

I’ve started a project called Casanet. I’ve setup a Backpack page to get my ideas together and as a place to also see if anyone has any better ideas.

It’s stuff like this, that I think about during my drive and walk to the office.

Based on Jason Kottke’s post, “Five quotes“, here are 5 (ok, 8) quotes that define me or some of my beliefs….

There is no nonsense so gross that society will not, at some time, make a doctrine of it and defend it with every weapon of communal stupidity. – Robertson Davies

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting. – e e cummings

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. – confucius

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music. – George Eliot (1819 – 1880)

The only way to have a friend is to be one. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information. – Oscar Wilde

Humility is the embarrassment you feel when you tell people how wonderful you are. – Laurence J. Peter

You never find yourself until you face the truth. -Pearl Bailey (1918 – 1990)

MAKE: Blog: DIY Refrigerator workbench

Awesome! Use an old fridge as a workbench. Love it! Recycle when you can.

Microsoft Office for Linux ‘inevitable’ – vnunet.com

Doubt it.

Let me say it again, I highly doubt this will happen. They’re barely supporting Apple and their marketshare on the desktop is more than double that of Linux.

Comment #4 is dead on….

Let’s see, Roosevelt rolled up Hitler’s Industrial Germany, Mussolini’s Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan in less time than Bush has taken to hamstring the US military in Afghanistan with a group of religious zealots living in caves and in Iraq with a “handfull of dead-enders”.
