Big Urgent Tweak Test — 27 October 2006; 9:38 am

Look out for my B.U.T.T.! I’ve just finished uploading some tweaks to make the Big Urgent Wish theme a little nicer. Please, as always, wear your helmets, and let me know if anything falls on your head. I could always use a good laugh.
I hope to have a sanitized version available soon.

Latest Chickenfish CD Reviews — 24 October 2006; 8:28 am

Whee! My latest reviews are up at The Chickenfish Speaks. I feel truly sorry for the lashing I gave one new age composer. The rest I’m pretty proud of.

Whew! So far, Big Urgent Wish passes XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS level 3*!
I have only done the index page, though, so more work is no doubt needed.

Spore — 20 October 2006; 10:28 am

Will Wright is an incredible genius! The man behind the “Sim” games, his new game, Spore, is most definitely going to be the most amazing and mind-blowing game ever created.

Big Urgent Garbage Hunt — 20 October 2006; 9:30 am

The B.U.G. hunt is on! See if you can find all the problems with my new layout… I’ve already identified the ugly 3rd-tier dropdown menu thing on the navbar at the top, but I haven’t had much time yet to test everything out. fixed Later tonight I’ll tweak it and try to get it to [...]

Cloaking Device Invented (sort of) — 20 October 2006; 9:01 am

Scientists Take Step Toward Invisibility
Dr. [David R.] Smith warned against getting ahead of the day’s announcement and envisioning the disappearing Romulan warbirds of “Star Trek” on the horizon. The work “is really a scientific explanation,” he said, adding, “Whether it’s useful is always a question.”
Creating a cloaking device in the visible spectrum would be vastly [...]

Keith Olbermann vs. George W. Bush — 20 October 2006; 8:56 am

Check out this angrily passionate editorial by the great Keith Olbermann re: the new, absolutely diabolical Military Commissions Act. (Read up on it and know that this is terrible and insane.)
