jason will flip over this, mr showbiz has an interactive pets.com sock puppet.
i’ve been relistening to the u2 salome boots this morning. as much as achtung baby rocks, some of the unreleased stuff was even better.
funky. try out leonard($foo). this is based off mediator software, part of critlink. the author of those apps has also written an interesting an interesting issue tracking system in python.
metaphysical conceits are neet.
random rant: hate it when you leave a cd out and it gets scratched at it starts skipping. when i get a better cd drive i should rip em onto mp3 to avoid that kind of thing. need to get paid first though… maybe then an ultraplex would be good.
i’m gonna take a step back until i clear some stuff off my todo list. hopefully i’ll be able to get enough done that i can have some fun this weekend. rent.net actually works. too bad bookmarking is such a bitch (crappily designed cgi), and the interface/organization/navigation sucks. i’m kvetching again.
hmm, blogger, crapping out again. time to get some more boxen, burn that venture capital!
automotive industries has a ton of info on the honda insight. i want to like the car… maybe the next gen will be good enough (when i dump my languishing buick). ai has a dec99 feature on the insight and prius, also there’s a guy with a dedicated insight log / site.
What’s the future hold? Soon after you read this, GM will unveil its hybrid-powered Precept, the automaker’s bid for the 80-mpg “supercar” jointly developed under the government’s Partnership for a New Generation Vehicle program. Precept breaks so much new design and engineering ground that the team’s motto was, “This is rocket science.” Expect a feature on Precept in AI next month — and an equally advanced PNGV study from Ford. Both concepts will be drivable by 2003, though GM has yet to prove Precept can achieve the 80-mpg bogey. By that time, the critics may see Insight and Prius in a different light.
here’s the january 2000 precept article. pretty frickin cool. “We eventually adopted two mottos: Yes, we must reinvent the wheel, and yes, this is rocket science!”
ever get that realization that you have not enough time to get everything you need to get done done? sucky feeling, huh? i left behind while i was chillin in austin, and picked it right back up now that i’m back in la.
hmm, ramen recipes (/usr/bin/girl). i dunno, looks too complex. i’m way too lazy when i’m cooking ramen…
stare and gawk: a woman’s guide on how to pee standing. yes, armageddon is nigh, so says the supersmart alien dolphins. suck it!
net companies running out of cash? some big names there. somehow i don’t think they’re just gonna fold, but whatever. interesting diversion. back to trying to work.
