lookie lookie - i got a haircut! [link]

The US is spending more on nuclear weapons development, maintenance, and production (but not defense such as Star Wars) in inflation-adjusted dollars than at any previous point. What the fuck? [link]

Whether you call it "Gaddafi to West: Don't Force us Back to Bombing" (REUTERS) or "Libya pledges role in world peace," (EUpolitix) this guy has a message worth sharing. Give peace a chance. [link]

what sort of dictator answers a phone? castro, apparently... [link]

i AM the Keyboard-Chair Interface (KCI)

today's jerkcity rules. [link]

"Back in 2000 a Republican friend warned me that if I voted for Al Gore and he won, the stock market would tank, we'd lose millions of jobs, and our military would be totally overstretched You know what? I did vote for Gore, he did win, and I'll be damned if all those things didn't come true!" -dude

I built a chair! [link]

i love easter candy. "Given enough time, the proper resources, and access to some really toxic stuff, one can probably dissolve just about anything except Peep eyes." [link]

let's not be distracted by the bombs that didn't hit the mosque: "The Abdel-Aziz al-Samarrai mosque was hit by U.S. aircraft that launched a Hellfire missile at its minaret [steeple] and dropped a 500-pound bomb on a wall surrounding the compound." heard it here first: satanic missiles at mosques. [link]

"blueberry bars / artifically flavored / made with real fruit" you might get the wrong idea, though. there's no blueberry in these things, it's fig and fake blueberry. yecht.

day 4 of hardly sleeping: still tired as shit but i already feel as though i could survive indefinitely at this level of fatigue -- it's not getting worse anymore. i sure do eat a lot of food.

My quest for chocolate cake took me from 104th all the way to 110th, passing dozens of shops designed to separate yuppies from their money without the use of chocolate cake. yuppies are dumb. but the place i finally found sold me a whole damn cake. oh man oh man oh man.

"Psychiatrist: Woman who killed sons with rocks insane" thank god for experts! [link]

day one of a 5-6 hours up / 1 hour down sleep schedule. what am i going to do with my newfound time? why watch star trek of course...and write fancy alarmclock programs. *sigh*

Saddam, a human being just like you and me, held without any public contact or any legal representation, and most importantly without any legal status (unless you believe Bush follows the Geneva Convention), is spending days of his life simply "not talking" [link]

the role of women in corporate america [link]

it's tuesday? wtf

christ, "we" just closed an Iraqi newspaper. for printing anti-american stories. gee. i think americans should buy guns and bombs and steal tanks from army bases and use them to stage a coup. are they gonna shut down shortjournal now? [link]

i think we should flood institutionalized domain squatters with hatemail. i mean, they have to read every response because they're looking for people who want to buy the domain. the spam principle says they are expecting like a .0001% hit->buy conversion rate, if we exceed that...

fucking gimp... whatever beta dumb retard version i have on my computer automatically switches to "subtractive selection" mode after selecting one thing. so your first selection of the day works, and from then on your very basic cut and paste operation requires subtleties!!! grr

i put up a boring webcam pointing at the street (104th st, manhattan), and had it not delete its temporary files and put them all together into a like 3-day MPEG video running at 1440x real-time (24fps@60 seconds per frame). cool, eh? [link]

European Commission rules MS may not distribute media player with OS. Strangely, I find myself agreeing with MS on this one. The problem is not the media player bundled with Windows, but rather Windows bundled with my hardware. [link]

Bush tax cut advertised in 1040 instructions: "The tax rates of 27%, 30%, 35%, and 38.6% have been reduced to 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%, respectively." Does he really think poor people are too dumb to notice they get 7.4% decrease and richy-rich gets 9.3% discount?

"My opponent admits Saddam Hussein was a threat, he just didn't support my decision to remove Saddam from power. Maybe he was hoping Saddam would lose the next Iraqi election." Clever, snappy, and simple. If only he could apply this new-found genius to the national deficit! [link]

the other day i was hooking up a voltage regulator and i accidentally shorted output and ground through a potentiometer. i was like "i smell burning!" and miah was like "look, smoke"

Some kid brought home a book about a gay prince from school, and her parents freaked out and made headlines. The choice quote is "My child is not old enough to understand something like that, especially when it's not in our beliefs" -- I don't support pollution but damn at least I believe in it. [link]

Someone please correct me. It looks like Mohammed set up the concept of the Mahdi (a descendent of his to surface for judgement day), and ever since every loudmouth in the Muslim world has been claiming to be Mahdi. Couldn't they just canonize everyone instead of setting up a dynasty? [link]

so some enthusiasts over at handhelds.org almost have the ipaq h22xx port working -- well enough for my involvement anyways. *sigh* is it really time for a new palmtop already? [link]

Time for PBS to start running Kerry ads! Bush has retaliated against limits on soft money by convincing news programs to run his ads as news. Little did we know this extended to ads produced with taxpayer money! [link]

Remember last election how CNN would pull any Bush-critical story and gleefully report any Gore snafu...my how the tables have turned! A lengthy "Bush is dumb" Blix quote is presented at the beginning of a story with a delayed attribution. yeehaw! [link]
