Month: March 2002

Gotta love this vote of confidence in our governments (from the readers of this article at CNN.com):

I, for one, am not surprised.

I think that Memepool linked to this anti-war site sarcastically, but I think it’s really powerful.

100 things not to do in Milwaukee brings me back to my childhood, but not as much as 100 Milwaukee memories.

I can’t believe I read the whole thing: Someone has reviewed Radiohead’s brilliant album Amnesiac song by song. His review is a nice example of what the web can do and a damn interesting read. Start with the first song and access the rest from his archive page. It helps if you’re listening to the album while you’re reading it. (It really helps if you have it and Kid A in your MP3 library.)

I’ve been spending way too much time on Metafilter. (It feels like I’m being unfaithful to you somehow, dear reader; I’m deeply sorry.)

But look what I found there:

• A fun and useful police sketch site (Look for the saved face “gohlkus” to see my slightly idealized version of me…. Actually, it looks more like my brother, the more I look at it.)
• Find your birthdate in pi (okay, this one is somewhat venerable)
• A great list of banned Florida license plates and banned New York license plates [see also complaint letters about vanity plates from Washington state and Wisconsin], perfect fodder for your own vanity plate in a more tolerant state

Do you forgive me? (Sure you do.)

Today about 8 inches of snow landed on the Twin Cities with a thud and a few thunderclaps. I feel relieved (and somewhat smug) that I chose today to exercise my right to telecommute on occasion.

I did say no to something. That was necessary.

I haven’t quite finished anything, but no matter—I will. I did find The Emperor’s New Clothes.
