babble about the populist phenom :
Grammy voters, for the first time, honored a contestant on the Fox television smash "American Idol," granting that populist phenomenon a measure of acceptance from the musical establishment. Kelly Clarkson, the winner on the show's first season, won best pop vocal album for her second album, "Breakaway" (RCA), and best female pop vocal performance — beating Ms. Carey — for the hit single "Since U Been Gone."

Still getting to know the new 'hood. So far I've found two gems, both from the same owner. Brown is a little cafe on Hester between Ludlow and Essex. Very nice. I am already sure this will become my regular breakfast / lunch spot. And then right next door is Orange, a small market which you can also reserve for private parties (their third business, Green, is a catering company.) I had been bemoaning the lack of quality food shopping down here, but Orange makes it all better. And it's all the more surprising given it's tiny size. But they literally have everything I need. Very european. Not many products, but they are all the best. Plus breads, cheese, meats (great prosciutto, yum) and a small selection of vegetables. Okay, sure, it's expensive, but so worth it. Very very nice.

Amazing
Quake II mod:
You finally saw the yacht in the seemingly random bunch of dots! You can see the dinosaurs and dolphins in the Magic-Eye books! Now use your skills to free yourself from your evil extra-dimensional zombie oppressors! Welcome to Quake II as it was never meant to be.
Quake II AbSIRD is a modification of the Quake II graphics engine to produce SIRDS instead of standard 3D images.
I was never very good at seeing those magic-eye things, but it always surprised me how cool it was when I did get it. Of course the first thing I wondered was whether you could produce the effect with moving images. Evidently you can. Not sure this has any practical applications (I guess it depends on how hard it is to see and whether it gives you a massive head ache and makes you cross eyed or something like that,) but I'd love to try it out. Windows only unfortunately.
