Month: June 2002

French Republican calendar

Seattle waterfront, 1907-2002 (which is where I found the FRC above)

Census Scope – research data from the 2000 census. man, those were the days. 🙂

partial solar eclipse on Monday – looks like the peak is right after I get off of work…right on! (supposing, of course, that the weather cooperates.)

A Frameworks for Ethics in Software Use and Development – a work in progess, but quite interesting.

text sizing – ow. it makes my brain hurt.

Get Crafty

I’ve grown through poems
like rings on a tree in 600 years to be cut down
sliced and stood on end, small plaques spiked into its rings
“Columbus arrives in Americas, 1492”
“the Declaration of Independence signed, 1776”

* we were first friends
* you thought you loved me
* I hated you
recorded in words and the space between

I am not the poem, not even this one

the poems trail behind me
in a cloud of words
like stars or car exhaust.

but I can’t tell you to stop reading
no more than I could tell you
to forget the cloud of memories
which doesn’t need my words at all

MeFi Seattle gathering on Saturday.

J-list

all about one of my favorite curse words

hey, remember Brunching Shuttlecocks? (K mentions Sluggy Freelance, which I haven’t read in months. wow, my surfing habits really changed after I lost my site in Feb.)

or something like that. I can’t wait until all this craziness is over and we can just start living again.

note to self: don’t forget to ask how much the “regular N miles service” costs before taking in the car. ouch.

a few links, and then I’m off to the store.

’cause I never stop thinking about work: uPortal – Blue Prints for Successful Teams.

MC Escher paving stones and the Palm evolution chart (I saw a clie and a treo today…drool…), via Boing Boing.

Small Players Matter – word.

so where’s that info hiway again?

and a few random links:
– eFax
– Ditherati
– interview w/Zeldman (looks like an interesting ‘zine)
– The Shop Talk of Amateurs and Professionals

except…damn. what’s going on? I can’t upload files thru Blogger now? I guess I can always do it the old-fashioned way. 🙂

I’m now using the same “design” (I use the word loosely) as the rest of my site. not too much to get excited about, but if I ever get a good idea for a new design, this’ll take it automatically now. (did a little more fussing, finally posted my side-list of links.)

yes, we succumbed to the 5 months for 19.95 deal. and boy am I enjoying it. 🙂

also, a Palm with a case made of Legos and something strangely hypnotic but useless.
