Anticon Alias Coincidence
I got a totally unexpected email from Alias of anticon recently, someone I hadn't spoken to in more than ten years. The really weird part is that I had been getting into Atmosphere recently, and discovered Sage Francis a few days before he got in touch. Little did I know that my music purchases were zeroing in on Brendon Whitney's corner of the world.

Anyway it's cool that he's making a career out of music. Walter and I have been head-bobbing to Alias, Sole, and Sage Francis tracks for a couple days now...

Late Twenties
There's no denying it now, otherwise they would call it late twenty. Happy birthday Jessica!
This is Jessica's patented "time to tone down the sarcasm" look. To which I might respond, "hey baby, that's how I roll... um okay sorry I'm being quiet now."

Andy Milonotakid Show
What? That guy isn't actually a kid? Ugh, that makes the show even less funny to me.

TruckNutz Sighting
Woohoo! I saw an actual set of truck nuts while driving down the highway. I've been waiting for these things to take off, keeping the dream of crazy niche retailing alive.

Spotlight on Home Surgery
Inspired by Anne Marie's home mole removal, I decided to feature a ten-part series on home surgery and its practitioners.
Today's spotlight is on apotemnophilia, a potentially serious psychiatric condition where one desires that their own healthy limb be amputated. This is sometimes accomplished by tying a length of dental floss tightly around the "superfluous" limb.

Ballroom Bootcamp
We finally got to see Krystél on TV last night! I've been waiting for months to post these pictures from the filming of Ballroom Bootcamp. She's got some pretty serious make-up going on in these.

Morris Museum
Went to check out the new mechanical musical instruments and automata collection at the Morris Museum. They were only showing 60 items, should be interesting once they can exhibit the rest of the collection.

Yay! I just noticed that the Firefox 1.0 release fixes previously crappy performance for setTimeout and setInterval.

Wanted to say thanks to the folks at Burger King for reminding us that cockfighting is both fun and funny! That's what I get for watching a non-TiVo'd show with commercials, wtf? It's not that I'm humorless, it just seems like a really lame Kaiju knock-off.

No Respect
This really makes me upset. Some people have no respect for the ribbon. Free speech is one thing, but these should be illegal.

Jack-O-Lanterns
Amy organized a trip to the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at the Roger Williams Park Zoo. I suspected it would be lame, but it was really cool! Her extensive research also took us to the bar at the Red Fez in Providence, where we had trendy retrobeer and excellent food.

Today, I uninstall MusicMatch.
Mark "Mac Genius" Frizzell finally convinced me to switch to iTunes for Windows, and Casey sold me on the AirPort Express. MusicMatch had been driving me nuts, especially now that the latest version crashes every time I hit the "Next Track" button on my MS Natural Keyboard Pro.
I've been having fun using the iTunes COM for Windows SDK and the most excellent Amazon Web Services to update my metadata.

Fact Check Dot What?
Maybe people already noticed this, but I just remembered that Dick Cheney told me to check out factcheck.com during the VP debate last night. So I dutifully browsed on over there, but was surprised to find the personal web page of self-described billionare investor, philanthropist, and apparent domain-squatter George Soros. Oh, and a giant banner reading, "WHY WE MUST NOT RE-ELECT PRESIDENT BUSH." I'm pretty sure Dick meant the nice people from the Annenberg Center at factcheck.org...

UPDATE: Casey points out that this did get some coverage later in the day, and it turns out that Soros got the publicity for free!
