Interlude: Survivor: Owen County – Snooper & Mr. Peeps
Posted on September 27, 2008 by wincing.at.light
I have cats. They all live outside and function largely as vermin control. Unfortunately, as much as I like them, my cats have this aggravating tendency to get eaten by coyotes, so most of the time, I don’t even bother to give them names until I’ve figured out which ones are going to make it. [...]

Interlude: Ending is Beginning
Posted on September 26, 2008 by wincing.at.light
So I’ve spent the last three days or so with downhere’s new offering Ending is Beginning on my virtual turntable. I am insane for this album. I can’t even be coherent about it. It feels groundbreaking. It feels extraordinary. And at the same time, it is downhere to the core.
Maybe this is just artistic [...]

Interlude: In Case We’re Doomed, pt. 2
Posted on September 9, 2008 by wincing.at.light
Today we hear ebook publishers tell each other and anyone who’ll listen that the barrier to ebooks is screen resolution. It’s bollocks, and so is the whole sermonette about how nice a book looks on your bookcase and how nice it smells and how easy it is to slip into the tub. These are obvious [...]

Interlude: In Case We’re Doomed…
Posted on September 9, 2008 by wincing.at.light
The Large Hadron Collider should be going on-line for the first time at the CERN lab on the Franco-Swiss border any…second…now, bringing with it either a fresh hope for all humanity, or the possibility of sub-atomic black holes devouring our reality, our space-time continuum and our pastrami sandwiches.
Or both. I can’t decide.
Anyway, in the little [...]

Interlude: Chrome EULA: “Our Bad”
Posted on September 4, 2008 by wincing.at.light
Following up on my post yesterday about the troubling EULA provisions in the Chrome installation package, it appears that Google is admitting that they made a mistake and working to fix it.
I made this comment a couple of places yesterday, but I’ll make it again: For some bizarre reason, I never expected Google not to [...]

Interlude: Google Chrome, I Haz It
Posted on September 3, 2008 by wincing.at.light
So I’ve been playing around with Google’s new web browser, Chrome. It’s nice. I like it. Not in the same way I like Firefox, of course, but I’m definitely interested in seeing how it develops post-Beta. (Of course, who knows how long that will take, since I’m pretty sure as I look at my G-mail [...]

Interlude: A Note to Trupoets Folks
Posted on August 20, 2008 by wincing.at.light
Yes, Trupoets is down. No, I don’t have an explanation, but I’m hoping that AJ or Tobi will drop by and give us an update. If I had to guess, it looks like the domain has expired.
As soon as money changes hands and pointers get refreshed, I’m sure that the site will be up and [...]

Interlude: Greek to Me (And to You)
Posted on July 28, 2008 by wincing.at.light
Some Nifty
I’ve got to send props to Cubicle Buddy Grant for pointing out to me the new online repository for the Codex Sinaiticus. What is the Codex Sinaiticus, you ask?
To WikiQuote:
Codex Sinaiticus (London, Brit. Libr., Add. 43725; Gregory-Aland nº א (Aleph) or 01, Soden δ 2) is a 4th century uncial manuscript of the Greek [...]
