How To Disappear Completely

When’s the last time you looked at your bookmark file? I mean, really looked at it, and realized that most of your bookmarks have gone unused for months?
I did that this morning. Holy crap. I had close to 40 bookmarks that I couldn’t even remember bookmarking. So, after cleaning them up, I got to thinking…I’m getting bored with my regular sites. Which is good, because I’m reading more books, seeing more of my family and seeing more sunlight.
But I had this idea: Post one link that you like, that isn’t already on this site, that hasn’t been posted by someone else. Maybe it will give all of us someplace new to look at. I’ll send the coolest one to Fark, where it won’t get posted.
I’m going out of town tomorrow until Friday, so there will be no updates to the site, and the RFB (which is up right now, btw) will be down, as well. May I suggest thepAvedearth as an alternative listen.
I’m gonna be in USAToday tomorrow or Wednesday, in the e-briefing column. Cool!
If you wanna read the EFF’s analysis of the USAPATRIOT act, it’s here. Scary.
Did you watch The Simpsons last night, after the game? I’ve never seen that one before. Brilliant!

Pac Man Fever

So there’s not too much to write about…and I was getting tired of the Baseball post sitting at the top, so…here’s something for everyone to do today: play those old 80s arcade games with this java emulator. Thank you to Fark for the link.
Of course, if you find yourself waxing nostalgic for Journey and waffle cones, while you play Tempest, or Berzerk, you can tune in to RFB, which is broadcasting an 80s explosion, right now.
If you find that you need even MORE classic games, I suggest picking up a copy of MAME, and only downloading the ROMs for games you own. *ahem*
I saw the Episode II trailer today. I am not optimistic. Lord of the Rings, however, looks amazing.
One final note to parents: if your child is too young to not scream and cry the whole movie, and you need to entertain it by making baby noises for the entire film, your baby is proably not old enough for the movies, and should probably stay at home.
Thank you.

There is no crying in baseball!

I’ve just realized why Kim has blown 2 games.
He secretly wants to come and play for the Dodgers, and get a 20 million dollar contract.
Mr. Boras? Your phone is ringing…

Bleed American

Stolen from loren, who gleaned it from killoggs, who found it here:

“Pro-America does not mean pro-war. Or pro-Bush. Or anti-Afghanistan. Or pro-little-flags-on-SUV-antennas.
It means thinking independently and getting better informed and filtering your news very carefully and realizing that just because one version of the American aggro attitude is currently being ramrodded down society’s throat doesn’t mean you have to swallow.”

I’m proud to be an American.
