There is a very interesting (to Apple desktop computer users and geeks) article on Ars Technica with some pretty educated conjecture about what Apple’s next desktop computer(s) may look like. The article is by Eric Bangeman, and I find myself mostly in agreement with his conjecture, albeit reluctantly. While I think his prediction is spot […]
Couldn’t resist… the devil (prehensile-wit) made me do it… You can misbehave yourself by visiting churchsigngenerator. We all “aim to misbehave” don’t we?
Last night Erci took me to the Ian Anderson concert at Wolf Trap. It was amazing. Ian featured Lucia Micarelli on violin, and she got her own standing ovation with her energetic version of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” (Ian and the band and the orchestra played backup). She played along with Ian through several re-arranged classical […]
Mike Leavitt is just the latest miserable example of a tradition that dates all the way back to the American Revolution in the late 18th century and perhaps even longer. Wealthy and powerful Americans are experts at dodging their taxes, and once again the rich get richer while the rest be damned. I want to […]
Last night Erci and I went to see Noche Flamenca at Wolf Trap after a quiet sushi dinner at Hama Sushi (which has become our favorite regular sushi restaurant). The saki and sushi were terrific, and helped Erci calm down from a particularly harrowing day at work (her team is immersed in a sense of […]
The php was a smidge tricky in my comments.php file, but I finally got gravatars working in my WordPress blog. Woo hoo! So comment already so I can see your gravatars!
A few days ago I posted a message about “The Power of Nightmares” documentary, and friends on Daily Kos have pointed out a better source for the video if you want to try burning your own DVD of it or just watch the mpeg files rather than the stream off google video. The files and […]
Yesterday Erci accompanied me over to Atelier de la Charrette to help Bob and Peter, Winterbadger, and Bryan test a game of “VSF: Actions at Parroom Station” before Bob goes to Historicon to expose more steam punk fans and miniatures gamers to the allure of the Martian landscape. We arrived a little bit late and […]
Last night sutragirl and I went up to Baltimore with Becca and Khoa to have dinner and see the Cirque du Soleil live music concert called Delirium. Traffic was bad on I-95 because of an accident at MD-198, so we diverted to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, which was very busy and moving slowly. We ended up […]
Thanks goes to Alice Marshall for pointing out that Adam Curtis‘s fascinating BBC documentary “The Power of Nightmares” is now available on google video. This documentary was first broadcast on BBC Two in the Fall of 2004. Later, it was adapted to a single 2.5 hour film for the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. Now anyone […]
