Man Bites Dog: The Criterion Collection

That is so awesome!

Why does Verizon keep sending me junk mail about getting DSL service when I already get service from them?

I went to the mall for lunch to get some underwear and after hitting up a few different stores I came out empty handed… Apparently my preferred style of boxers (with the [usually] grey flat elastic) has fallen out of favor or something, because they have been pretty damn hard to find the past year or so… I am not entirely convinced this is the case however, since the stores I visited simply had a small underwear selection altogether…. Anyone know where I am supposed to buy underwear?

While I was there I stopped in the Apple store and browsed around again… I was amazed to find so many butt ugly computers in once place… I still find myself thinking that the only attractive Macs are the towers these days… I played around with the iBook for awhile and found that it’s trackpad made me want to throw the damn thing against the wall.. The anal-retentive core of my being wants to use the direct center of the trackpad at all times, but since it is so wide when my thumb drops to rest it taps the pad and makes the cursor jump.. The Powerbooks were fairly nice, but they don’t seem to have changed construction much (which is a good thing, imho). I still would want 2 mouse buttons….

OSX is still too slow with it’s various overapplications of flair… Is there any way to turn that crap off?

The Digital Bits has a great article on Vinegar Syndrome and how it affects film restoration (It’s part of a fantastic series of articles). This page shows what vinegar syndrome did to the original film stock of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Fuck me for listening to Microsoft… What’s wrong with this picture?

TCHAR szFile[MAX_PATH] = "\0"; strcpy(szFile, "");

100 Years of Air Conditioning… I just wish we had a bit more of it in this office…

Going to the Parish Cafe with Stacey around 9ish… A late dinner, but going there much earlier usually means a long queue, so we generally go late….

Worked at home today, but had some VPN difficulties that ate up more time than it should have…

This only 3 or 4 CDs left and they are all encoded! A week or so I had 66% of my cd’s ripped to MP3, but I am almost done!

These guys should listen to some KMFDM!

Only 67 self-referential lyrics? Come on Eminem, KMDFM destroys you!

I got two network interface card cards in the mail today, EtherExpress 10/100’s… One to replace the shitty one currently in my firewall and the other just a spare (I got a decent price, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have a spare around…
