Subject: sippey joins sixapart
Pretty exciting. It'll be interesting to see what direction Six Apart is
going to go with Michael as VP of Products.
(Well, the "obvious" thing is to extend from a "weblog tool" to a
"publishing platform" which seems the current path -- but the more
interesting possibilities are for some sort of unified communications
platform. Take in bits (weblog posts, links, pages, emails, im's) and be
able to edit, manipulate, tag, and route them to output forms: weblogs,
RSS/XML feeds, searchable archives, other sites, etc. Or maybe that's just
what I'm most interested in right now. More on that later.)

Subject: braceface
Klara has made the mistake of Tivo'ing Braceface and now I like, like it.
I only kind of liked it but then I read that it's Alicia Silverstone who
voices the main character *and* sings the TOTALLY AWESOME theme song. And,
I mean, she was in Clueless. I tried to find an MP3 of the theme song, but
instead eventually tracked down this quicktime of the whole intro. It's
just... catchy.

"SEXY LIBERALS OF THE U.S. UNITE in taking back the government from the
sexually repressed, right-wing, zealots in control! Everyone knows
liberals are hotter than conservatives - we look hotter, we dress hotter,
our ideas are hotter, and we are infinitely hotter in the sack. We must
use our sexual appeal to our advantage, as one more weapon in our already
diverse arsenal. By stripping conservatives out of their clothes, we can
also strip them of their power."
I'm not sure why I like this, but I do.

"Can you think of any emotionally-involving videogames? Games where you
develop an emotional bond for the characters, and have an emotional
investment in the outcome of the story? Has a game ever made you cry?"
Excellent discussion starting point from Andy Baio [ http://www.waxy.org/ ]
I probably left some out -- I've certainly been emotionally invested in
more games than I might like to admit.

Subject: rejections via 3rd party email
"So here's the scenario: You're out at a bar, riding transit, or even just
walking down the street, and some bozo who desperately wants into your
pants starts up a conversation with you. Rather than make a scene or make
them upset (which, hey, could be dangerous), you're polite and at least
nod at the proper times. Then, of course, they ask you for your number.
Except this is 2004, so maybe they ask for your email address instead.
That's where Paper Napkin comes in. Give them anyname@[xxx]
tell them it's your address, and when they write you, they'll
automatically get a response telling them how badly they've been
rejected."

Clearly this completely ridiculous hyperlink policy is just begging for
mockery. I want to copy the whole page and just replace the "text
referent" with something much better that people should be using to link
to them.
Corrupt commerical jackassess 2004?
No... but something about the general crass commericalism and corruption
that has nothing to do with the historical Olympics.

Gosh, you don't need to trash the other party and spread lies, this is the
way to show your party spirit....
Being able to support a candidate makes this a great democracy. Here's
something that we can all do this coming week to show our support for our
candidate.
If you support President George W. Bush, please drive with your headlights
on during the day.
If you support Senator John Kerry, then drive with your headlights off
during the night.

Subject: [luvly] Blogging the Games
Much fuss over the "gagging" of athletes at the Olympics
(http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,64650,00.html), with the
International Olympic Committee protecting its commercial interests
and banning personal blogs.
This will change between now and the next Games.
In four years, all competitors will be offered "official" Olympic
blogs on which they can post their thoughts. These will probably be
edited, though - after all, it wouldn't do to have an athlete
criticising the organisation of an event, or a rival.
These official blogs will be plastered in sponsortising, of course,
and will adopt a very conservative (small 'c') editorial line. Like
the interviews sportspeople are now required to give after every
single event, in which they spout motivational mantras and compliment
their opponents.
Hopefully some of the smarter competitors will use more subtle
methods, like a smartphone and a LiveJournal account, to post
unedited thoughts directly from the stadium.

Suggestions for camera-bags that don't look like camera bags. I bought a
cheap Tamrac bag for my D70 (because I needed something quick) but I have
been meaning to find a messenger style bag that will accomodate the camera
and a (paper) notebook so I can use it as my primary bag when I go to
class.
