Side Effects

Watching old Highlander episodes has me in the mood for vintage HL fic… and the seventh dimension archive is still up! (Lo, I am old… I read most of these stories originally on mailing lists and usenet)

Edit: More old stories!

Hulu has all 6 seasons of Highlander up

And it occurs to me, that the older I get, the less handsome Adrian Paul looks. Go figure.

Not gonna upgrade

It’s Photoshop upgrade season, as it often is in the fall, but I won’t be doing it this year. I’m still running CS2 at home, as I really am not fond if the UI changes they made in CS3, and there weren’t any real “must have” features least time around.

This time, there are a few tweaks and goodies that I’d like to get my hands on, and one of them is Content-Aware Image Resizing (or seam carving). But the neat thing is, there’s already a freeware app that will let me to this!

So no, not sending Adobe extra money this year. Maybe next year.

Not doing myself any favors here

Hitting refresh in the NY Times home page every 20 minutes is doing nothing good for my nerves.

The obligatory voting post…

Got up early to vote before work. Duty done.

Blast from the past

I never would have guessed that BJ Zanzibar’s site was still up and running. (very cracktastic WOD ver. 1, circa late 90’s fanwritten supplements… it was sorta like fanfic.net for WOD players.)

Quotes


The world is far from logical

Remember this ’cause it’s important: listening to music on BitTorrent for free is illegal. Listening to it for free on MySpace isn’t.
- Michael Arrington


We’re all stuck in this together

It’s easy to demonize the American auto industry. It has behaved with the foresight of a crack addict for years. But even when people set their own houses on fire, we still dial 9-1-1, hoping to save lives, salvage what we can and protect the rest of the neighborhood.
- Bob Herbert


Reading should be comfortable

All-in-all, not enough attention was paid to the overall experience…it feels a bit like drinking fine wine from a sippy cup.
-Kottke, on the New Yorkers’ new online archive reader.


Sometimes, artists say neat things

I hate flowers. I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.
- Georgia O’Keeffe


The past should not be prologue

The last time we mixed politics with religion… people got burned at the stake.
