themes by aaron spuler. these are many and nice and don’t seem to available anywhere obvious on the firefox/mozilla site. found it checking out how the mozilla calendar project sunbird is coming along.

I have also been into the safari ripoff brushedtheme.

This dude in Alaska is building an 18-foot-tall, anime-inspired, working, robot exoskeleton. They call them mechs or mechas in anime, rpgs, and other geeky sci-fi circles. I found this CNET article while looking for something else.

From Chris Rock in an interview in the Onion’s AV club:

I try not to get caught up with the critics. The critics like only a few people. Most of them aren’t that funny. I’m always of the mindset that if only smart people like your shit, it ain’t that smart. If a guy drives a truck and he doesn’t get your jokes, something’s wrong there. I’m not saying you have to dumb it down, but they sell newspapers to everybody, not just the smartest people in the country. Everybody buys the newspaper. Everybody kind of watches the news. Your comedy can appeal to a wider audience if it’s funny.

In other words, why GW got elected.

you should watch this movie. Yet another reason to give thanks for being alive in the age of the internet.

kinda cool.

I’ve been wanting to start this blog since I saw Jesus on the el last November (2003). I was sitting on the red line, coming home from an unsuccessful attempt to get a haircut and return some pants downtown, and I’m re-reading this article Negotiated Collusion: Modeling Social Language and its Relationship Effects in Intelligent Agents. Just after I read this line–

…for example, if you are telling your office mate a highly charged story about the crazy person in the subway that morning, and your office mate replies, not by nodding or otherwise acknowledging your
story, but instead by asking if you want a cup of coffee, that will threaten your face. (p8)

this guy dressed in a full Jesus costume — white robes, rosaries, a crown (which looks like a gold metal, girl’s hair band), coagulated fake blood on his face, and of course, holding a giant wooden cross — SITS DOWN NEXT TO ME. At this point, I’m beside myself with the cosmic improbability of the coincidence, and I think, hey, I have a camera in my new phone. Making like I’m looking at something in the phone, I clandestinely pointed it at him and snapped off a couple. So after that, I decided, I should start a blog. I ran into a lot of trouble setting it up with movable type, but it seems to be working now with this sweet wordpress setup. Here’s the pictures to proove it:
