Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager. The writing below is at least a decade old. In that time every molecule of my body has been replaced, along with many foolish ideas and flighty beliefs. I want to keep some of those things public out of an honesty and humility I owe the world. I trust you to carry that context with you.

“Halo 2 is a lot like Halo, only it’s Halo on fire, going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone, being chased by helicopters and ninjas,” explained Jason Jones, head of Bungie Studios. “And the ninjas are all on fire, too.”

I just got spam telling me to write my Senator in support of fair use rights. Aaagh! Conflict!
Even when the economy’s good, you never hear about “upsizing.”
Yeah, tabbed browsing, evangelism, blah blah et cetera. I really like Firefox a lot and since I open up pretty much every link I hit in a new tab, does anybody know if there’s a way to reverse the default behavior? That is, I’d like to make links automatically open in new tabs except when I hit CTRL. My readership is and always has been largely nerds, so one of you has to have some idea what I mean. Shoot me.
Did you know there’s a town called Dacula in Georgia? That’s perfect!
Presenting next year’s TV movie / book deal / labored analogy: Smarty Jones.
Okay, I believe that truth is subjective, fact objective, and that both are real but only the latter is actual. Is that so wrong?
MSN: No More Needles
I’m not sure I believe this one is ever actually going to happen. I mean, hey, maybe I’m just underestimating the length of their dev cycle, but I definitely read about forced-air injections in Popular Science’s “What’s New” about ten years ago.
