lord help us, the apocalypse is near: Anyone heard of the Rave ‘All Your Base Are Belong To Us?’

looks like there is some hard data on the greenhouse effect comparing infrared re-radiation from 1970 vs 1997. of course it must be wrong because the shrub doesn’t believe in global warming.

so, i’m vegging out on tv, and the batman beyond ep that’s on is sorta interesting. now the cool thing though is that it looks like there’s gonna be some new future (bb era) justice league thing going on. cool beans! also, there’s this cartoon Action Man, by the mainframe guys (reboot), which is pretty cool, and even better, there’s a big guy and rusty the boy robot cartoon! it has a catchy theme song and is even drawn in a pseudo geof darrow style. neetus maximus.

hmm, i think that this blog will be changing in character over the next few weeks. i’ve been working on it for a while, but i’m going to try to get serious and actually start migrating it over soon. i’ll probably be splitting my journalling/personal blogging over to one column, and tech stuff and link collecting into another… will be a whump-like xblog-ish type thing. we’ll see what i get to over the next two days. probably should have another column for my “to-read” list as well. and maybe one for ramblings and notes to myself, right?

so, i haven’t been reading /. lately, but there’s som interesting stuff. a post on a new math theorem discovered by an eighth grader in study hall, a post from evander on pi day (happy pi day) and a new voicexml article on the asj, and an ask /. on content and what’s going on w/ the failure of advertising, proliferation of donation buttons, etc.

other intersting stuff: yro and perl list contexts, cddb and the riaa (grr), scientists and engineers slag cs ppl @ acm meeting, clay shirky /. q&a – frickin awesome, must read as always, software and business models not patentable in uk, why 8.3 filenames still, ps3 news, nautilus 1.0 came out, and eazel laid off half it’s staff, nanobelts for flatscreens, katz on the net revolution, transmeta releases midori linux (mobile linux for inet apps, webpads, etc.), an industry fundedstudy says privacy is too expensive, and ms announced .net for non ms os’s (yah, and hell is freezing over).

the unreal 2 facial animation looks pretty impressive.

just got back in town from sxsw. had lots of fun in austin, uneventful flights, yada yada, calculating expenses, putting up site, organizing photos and all that. turns out internetworld is going on the convention center the next few days… hmm…

ok, so this is my last post before i step out the door for sxsw. i should get into town at around 2pm today. tons of time to get to the convention center for the scott mccloud interview. i’m bringing my copy of understanding comics so i can get it signed. 😉

i will be back in town on wed, march 14. of course i’ll be checking my email

so this guy makes the best and most interesting flash piece i’ve seen recently, nosepilot, and then gets shafted by his isp, worst of all, seems the isp is acting very shadily
