Cache-Friendly Web Pages by Jennifer Vesperman. Guess the next major feature for Stapler (though this article isn't at all helpful in this regard).
Disinformation's new article is on Daniel Johnston. I only know him from his rendition of "Unpack Your Adjectives" on Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks, and some bumper on MTV2, so I wouldn't say I'm familiar with his work.
He sings like a little kid. A chain-smoking little kid.
Whistlewind wondered what the Scrubs theme song was, and it may be "Superman" by Lazlo Bane, which, strangely enough, I already have on MP3.com DAM CD.
Hehe, I was selected for that MovieLens experiment thing. It was certainly informative.
Calif. gov Gray Davis wants his grinning mug on all state websites.
A discussion at missingmatter: Are disappearing languages a cause for concern? missingmatter being fairly low-traffic, it seems a good place for low-noise discussion--so have at it.
Good Eats host Alton Brown becomes a petty criminal,
writes Tom of Backup Brain. Ouch--but it's the age of the weblog when he breaks the news himself.
The Unabomber Antifesto from Disenchanted condemns his methods (briefly) but, mentioning Adbusters, Alan Turing, and pretty much everything else, seriously considers his message--as wrong, but still considering it.
[The manifesto is] so romantic, in fact, that if you don't have the energy to read the Manifesto's 232 paragraphs of diatribe, you can get a nicely repackaged version of its basic tenets in the movie Fight Club.
Game Talk by speek for Kuro5hin is on that Robert Abbott, mazemaker, article on why video games suck--but ends up being more a catalog of games to look into, for me. easilyodd of Kuro5hin points out the documentary on open source, Revolution OS, will be on Sundance Channel's Matter of Fact, Monday 18 March at 9pm.
Also from Kuro5hin, FTC calls non-ICANN top level domains "bogus" (also at ICANNWatch) and the subsequent punditizing about what it means for alternate nameservers like Alternic. Will the FTC give ICANN actual power? Since [i]t was clear these .USA fools set out to scam people,
probably not. At least, hopefully not.
More week of noisepop from Massless. Just so you know.
Friendly URLs in MovableType. Ooh, ahh.
Someone's applying the NetFlix model to video game rental. That's nice to know. (Via Kuro5hin ad.)
I went to a cousin's funeral yesterday.
