irresistably engaging: Am I Immortal? Find Out Now… basically, this guy taking the testimonials of this “inventor” at face value and keeping a log of the effects of this biomagnetic healing contraption.

i haven’t been keeping up on spiderman, but it seems to be chugging along. tobey maguire looks spiffy in the suit.
“It is based on tension – and is one piece – all the way from the boots to the top of the head,” reveals Acheson. “The boots have actually been built into the suit.”
Oakley, the sunglass design company that manufactured the visor for the character Cyclops in last year’s hit X-Men, also created the lenses for Spider-Man’s mask. These guys are simply on fire, and it’s a good bet that it’s going to look amazing on-screen if Oakley’s behind it.
steve johnson writes about plastic.com: “If we were launching our sites today, which ideas or technologies would we use that didn’t exist then?” The answer to that question arrives today in the form of Plastic.com.
anyone else find that the technology in question is slash as amusing as i do?
also, just spotted this on tbtf, which i should really read more often. interesting thing about word docs and why not to send them.
time to get back to real work now.
glad i’m not alone in my not using tables for layout kick.
some hare-brained ideas are just damn cool
wow, this anodized aluminum case is pretty hardcore. (pics here)
so i set up bookmarker (ran into a little pgsql snag, but at least now i know…), and well, it’s not quite all that i had hoped for. a few of the problems i’ll be able to fix through some js / interface polishing, but some of it is just it’s data model. it honestly wouldn’t be too hard to fix. just time i don’t have right now… so i’m gonna put it off a bit.
actually, i’ve been trying to find what’s the agreed upon best algorithm for arbitrary level threaded-tree like nesting, but haven’t found anything offhand. i guess i’ll go through some code to check it out. my first look on the thing is to have each node have a root flag, parent pointer, and depth level variable. that would completely simplify the sql call i would need to use (order by root, depth level, parent, id#), but i don’t know if there’s a more standard / faster algorithm used on these things…
wow, interesting little article on the inaccuracy of u.s. science textbooks.
“The books have a very large number of errors, many irrelevant photographs, complicated illustrations, experiments that could not possibly work, and drawings that represented impossible situations.”
link among those shamelessly ripped from mefi. actually, my daily reading list is a good place to get most of the stuff i come across. i guess i should update it though. recently i’ve been using my bookmark file a lot more (now that i’m mozilla is becoming more usable). perhaps i should simply get a copy of bookmarker up and running?
