  • Ben Fry, the other co-creator of Processing
  • Floatutorial – been pointed out everywhere else already, but I just got around to taking a look at it, and yeah, it’s good stuff (but you probably already knew that already)
  • Leader of the Free World – the title no doubt is giving RMS fits; a great article on Linus, the person
  • Cubs Fan – andy writes about the Cubs fan who interfered w/ the foul ball on Tuesday (and how the Chicago Sun-Times probably stepped over the line, publicizing most of his life; usenet apparently does the rest); see also: wil’s letter
  • Child’s Play – Would today’s tykes tolerate the classic games you grew up with? Kids do say the darndest things in this uncut version of an EGM article.now with a bonus game not included in the original story! — some great zingers in there
  • Spider-Man 2 will rock? – description of just finished trailer from Japan. From the talkback: quick, re-read this to yourself with an excited asian accent. it sounds awesome
  • Maya now Free for Personal Use – after the /.ing, you can download it for free (legally this time); oh wait, it’s just the PLE version. nm
  • RIAA Sequentially Repeating Edison’s Mistakes – ba-zing!
  • The Filthy Critic is Dead, Matt Weatherford is Not – I missed that the Filthy Critic ‘died’ this summer. Luckily, it was just the character and not the man behind him
  • iTunes for PC came out; they also partnered w/ Pepsi to give away 100M free songs, which is absolute genius. I’m surprised at the paucity of rare/alternate/remix/live tracks; I’d be much more likely to buy a song for $1/pop if it were something I couldn’t get a high quality version of otherwise
  • EFF: MP3 Caper – this weekend you can see my version (my student film was entitled ‘Fear to Fear’)
  • Nanodot – News and Discussion of Coming Technologies
  • PHP Scales As Well As Java – fLAME 0N!!!1!
  • Adobe and Macromedia copy protection – whoa, Macromedia’s going to write crap in my boot sector? Fuck that. (reply to comment on why not having anti-piracy measures can be a win-win)

Nice to know that the Inquirer staff appreciates the irony:

WASHINGTON – Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance to his policies in Iraq, President Bush – living up to his recent declaration that he is in charge – told his top officials to “stop the leaks” to the media, or else.

News of Bush’s order leaked almost immediately.

Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he “didn’t want to see any stories” quoting unnamed administration officials in the media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a senior administration official who asked that his name not be used.
