As Evolution 1.0 is fast approaching, Miguel and I decided to do a little cheerleading for the hackers.

Gerald has some pretty impressive credentials.

Shudder: October 10th photo of ordinance on board the USS Enterprise. Already dropped on Afghanistan?

I liked the way the reflection turned out here.

You know what’s kind of annoying? Sometimes, when you ask someone something and they say “Good question,” it’s pretty much impossible to tell whether they mean:

1. “That is an extremely insightful/creative/inspiring question.”

   or

2. “I do not know the answer to that question.”

(Oh God, this is turning into one of those web logs, isn’t it?)

Scary fads: searching on eBay for “anthrax”.

Art has some very good and very eerie photos of the WTO protests in Seattle last year. Do these look like scenes from some hyperrealistic video game to anyone else?

Haha.

You know, it just struck me: the preponderance of anthrax-related items on eBay isn’t just a “scary fad;” it’s a “scary scare fad.”

And in a few months, when we’ve all forgotten about anthrax and the run on gas masks, we’ll be able to say things like “That sad scary scare fad faded fast.”

PAUSE - ONE BEAT

How obvious is it that I’ve been awake since yesterday?
