Breaking All 10 Commandments - And he does it before breakfast, too.
Away message @ 4:00pm, Today ::
I’m going to leave this online until I am certain that all people whose buddy list I am on have read this.
The world of AIM and online is a hugless, barren, and lonely place. If you want to do one something right now to improve your life, try this: close AIM, let email pile up, and turn off the computer. That’s all.
Salon - One of the best online magazines in existence. Imagine crossing The New Yorker with Slate, and now you’re talking.
Keillor’s Law - This will be printed out, because I need something like this to live by:
“If the romance or marriage needs help, the answer almost always is Have More Fun. Drop your list of grievances and go ride a roller coaster. Take a brisk walk. Dance. Take a trip to Duluth. Read Dickens.”
Wallace and Gromit: Full Length Film - I will have to see this movie. Wallace and Gromit are my heroes.
“There are lots of these little guys in “Curse of the Were-Rabbit” — they’re a design motif as well as being characters in their own right. And perhaps the loveliest thing about seeing them, and every other character here, on the big screen is the way their smooth Plasticine surfaces often show the visible fingerprints of the people who have touched them.”
Burnout 3: Takedown - Whatdda video game. I have to play this, and soon - it’s like a demolition derby on a road course.
Tookt this before some big storms rolled through the Twin Cities; on the last day of summer, they produced one tornado but we just saw a lot of rain.
La Grolla - Our next date? Classic Italian: “In a grand old setting that is both opulent and cozy, friends clink glasses over delicious food like the Capesante “spider”: scallops wrapped in angel hair pasta … “
Flying Spaghetti Monsterism - One of the most creative commentaries on America’s current “intelligent design in school” issue.
It asks an important question: if the government endorses multiple creation viewpoints, where does it stop? Why can’t Flying Spaghetti Monsterism receive equal billing as Evangelical Christianity?
I like how FSM does the unexpected by dodging the details of the issue, and forcing us to look at a more global, pragmatic picture of the situation.
I brought this desk up 10 flights of stairs so I had room to study - it’s been nothing but worth it.
