I'm still waiting for the first flash site to totally blow me away (like when I first saw Zaxxon and it's pseudo 3/4 view 3d effects,) but in the mean time there are lots of cool little flash gizmos out there to whet your appetite. Here's some. (Flash 4 required, 56k friendly.) [update: O.K., now I have almost seen everything. Can someone explain this site to me?]
I watched a little of the Hillary town hall meeting on PBS last night. Dave has the detailed report. I was impressed by her ability to field questions and speak off the top of her head. She did much better than I would have thought. I'm not suggesting she converted me, but I was impressed by her abilities. How far could she go? 2004? Say it ain't so.
This sounds interesting. A WABC nostalgiathon, with full length segments, not just the usual snippets. The Post article is more informative than the station's site. This is said to be the epitome of top 40 radio. Growing up in Detroit, we had top 30 radio from CKLW in Wisdsor, Ontario. They were big until Canada passed national content laws. After that, they played a lot of Anne Murray, and a little Neil Young.
I think the best discussions are the ones where both sides sound like reactionary idiots and with that in mind I must say that even from 1500 miles away, and that being in a city where murder is common as dirt, I am still deeply moved, and saddened, by the news of the Queens murders yesterday morning. Relating to a freedom discussion on another page it is my primary nature to agree with jimb about there being something amiss with the nature of internal freedom in the US but at the same time I want to start seeing a lot less than 30,000 gun related deaths each year (and of course I don't mean to suggest that jimb wishes that number to stay the same, or grow). While clearly not the overall solution to the problem I want to see more restrictions on guns, more buy back programs, more effort goddammit. And I want back that 40 million or more spent on the Clinton investigations and I want it spent on something useful. I want more restrictions in my world. I want my US government to quit whoring itself to the NRA and other lobbying groups that promote ill health, and death. I'm late for work. f Ted Nugent.
Today is for me like the last day of summer vacation and tomorrow is the first day of school, and I'm dreadfully excited. My temporary electric pole was installed last Thursday and tomorrow Entergy is promising to run the juice to it. Now there will be no excuses for short days at the renovation project on Rocheblave, although I would like to say that temps in the mid nineties is too hot to be doing all this work. No excuses though, you damn sissy, its time to get on with getting on. The building supply stores known as Home Depot are open 24 hours a day in this area. I can buy framing timber at 3 in the morning and I can run lights at the jobsite. I can swat mosquitoes under the glow of a halogen, or a florescent, or that ever popular incandescent. Tonite I'm drinking ice cold budweiser (watch the typos grow), and might paint the pages red. Look at that boy go.
