The Jerk Store Called, and They're all Outta <em>You!</em>
18 Feb, 2006
It's things like this Ask Metafilter thread that make me pessimistic about humanity as a whole.
I have to ask myself how I would react in this woman's place, if somebody was giving me grief for closing a frigging bus window as they're exiting the bus.
Normally I'm Against Filtering the Internet...

...but if someone could come up with an internet filter that would keep me from being exposed to the stupid crap John Dvorak comes up with I would be first in line.
Deering Banjo Company on Made in America
15 Feb, 2006
According to this BanjoHangout.org post, Deering is going to be featured on Made In America. March 7, I believe the date is.
It should be an interesting show, but one thing that probably won't come up is the fact that the Deerings are Scientologists. (If you're unfamiliar, follow that link for edification lest I seem like some kind of intolerant kook.)

More IF Musings
12 Feb, 2006
It's been one of those "too many personal projects to choose from, so I'll just nap all afternoon and not work on anything" weekends. Today I got to paging through the DM4, which prompted me to download a couple of games from the IF Archive and give them a try.

HULK HANDS!!
(Finally, I tracked this down. I couldn't find it for a long time.)

9 Feb, 2006
The signal to noise ratio has gotten lower every year since I started visiting Slashdot almost 7 years ago, but every once in a while there will be an interesting topic that garners some great comments, like "Does Company-wide Language 'Standardization' work?"

Content Editing with MediaWiki
8 Feb, 2006
I installed a test MediaWiki last week, and I've been using it the last couple of days to take notes during an inservice.
I really, really like the auto-generated table of contents you get when you structure your document using the heading markup:
