Well, kinda. At least I don't have water bottles stacked up and cat hair everywhere anymore. It was getting depressing.

do you remember the man? standing in front of the tanks that rolled on tianamin square
Everyone knows the famous photograph, but I have never seen the actual footage of this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7ou2-Kv4UA&feature=related#t=1m45s

Somehow, seeing it live made it touching in a way the photograph never could.

precursor to atlas shrugged
I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged, and plan to post on it shortly, but I stumbled upon this glorious patent application for a "method of creating a video game":

http://www.google.com/patents?id=aAuzAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=exalted&as_psra=1&as_psra=1#PPA83,M1

Basically it's a patent published by an insane "Objectivist" who thinks you can patent a method for creating a video game where your actions have global implications and the game rewards good morals -- not to say that any philosophy can't be taken to its most insane, rambling extreme. So I'm seriously not trying to dig on Ayn Rand here before I've even read her book. But this is hilarious. It's like over 100 pages of him ranting and raving about everything he hates, of which fiat currency seems to be the top of the list, and how in this game, you can make it better.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention that this guy is working on artificial retinas.

Examples: )

decemberists update
Hazards of Love status: upgraded to AWESOME. Still, the children's choir at the end is still ridiculous, even though the idea behind it is pretty sweet.

rage
I have never wanted to kill anyone.

But if I ever find the people responsible for IE 6's CSS handling you had better believe I'd ruin at least the rest of their day.
