today’s multithemed smiles

June 13, 2004

I checked my email this morning and noticed that rts updated. Joy! More of Part 3 for me. Seriously, I know the comic doesn’t update regularly, but I like it so much that I could care less. I’m just happy to get more.
An interesting board game was mentioned over at Boing […]

Another perspective on Shanghai

June 10, 2004

I’m in a joint venture tech company’s office this evening catching up on my global news, and stumbled across some neat summaries of what Shanghai is from Michael Rogers:

The China Puzzle
China’s Mixed Message
If You Can’t Beat ‘em…

next gen arranged marriage

June 10, 2004

Anil has made a modest proposal for the arranged marriages circuit, and while amusing as anything, I also find myself taking pause to think. This is the nature of much of Anil’s writing, and certainly one of the things that makes me read his journal.
I do know a small handful of people in an […]

fructose, the next nutrasweet?

June 6, 2004

My folks have been behind aspartame since forever. This was something that struck me as not necessarily being a good thing. Then, eventually in science class with Mr. Hanlon, we talked about how aspartame acts much like nicotene. You can’t get rid of it, you just build it up in your […]

get off the phone

June 6, 2004

I find myself smiling knowingly when a friend echoes my own unvoiced opinions. Today I got that from Andre, as he wrote Not an Accessory.
Here is my thought… the phone does not surpass face to face contact. It is a tool to be used when face to face contact is not possible. […]

you too can survive collaboration

June 6, 2004

One of my favorite reads that I’ve gotten behind on of late is Neil Gaiman’s journal. This would be because the feed isn’t showing up in Kinja, and while I haven’t the foggiest idea why, I will be sure to try to remedy that fact (and pick up all that lost reading).
So, today I […]

favorite authors

May 23, 2004

Today I was adding along to a post over at domynoes.network forums and found that what I posted there about my favorite authors was worth bringing up over here.
Let’s see… people who move me and make me drop things to read their stuff….
That’s actually a tough question since a lot of people I like to […]

hold the soul

April 17, 2004

My friend Andre made a really good comment of late. I like words, I like knowing the meanings of words, and I understand his frustration with the deviation from words’ importance, in this case the word “soul.” So, if you would humor him, you would use it less:
The use of the word soul […]

america should learn

April 12, 2004

Some folks I know over at Nightingale’s Lamp have been chatting about this post on the web called Memos to Americans. Call me a hippy, call me a liberal, call me an anti-American, but I agree with a whole lot of the sentiments going on here. Here are my thoughts:
It’s funny… I didn’t […]
