Sending 10 million email messages? $500. Getting caught? Priceless.

– A Message from Andrius Kulikauskas
– Lie Detector Roulette
– What’s Info Got to Do With It?

there’s more…there’s always more…and I don’t know what to do.

inspired by Evhead:

– HTML-Kit
– WS_FTP
– Dreamweaver
– Fireworks
– Opera
– Mozilla
– IE (unfortunately)
– RealOne and/or WinAmp (I haven’t yet figured out how to record & create playlists in WinAmp)
– AmphetaDesk
– Outlook (unfortunately, but at work only)
– Word (at home, I prefer OpenOffice.org’s Writer)
– Excel
– EasyZip
– the Weather Channel
– Saxon

pretty good panel, all the way around. I’m glad we went up to Seattle, even if the Mercer exit is it’s own mini-hell, and even if Rebecca wasn’t there. interesting discussion – lots of the usual weblog philosophy questions came up: what is a weblog, exactly; does anybody make money with them, what does it all mean? 🙂

but actually, I have loads of notes on paper…alas, I don’t know if they’ll translate well. lots of arrows and circles, as is my wont with paper. we’ll see, but not tonight.

– Invasion of the Bloggers – which I found through Rebecca Blood. fyi, here are the actual weblogs of the panel members, since they’re so thoughtfully listed in the notice (not!):

– Rebecca Blood (who apparently won’t be there. bummer!)
– Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
– Glenn Fleishman
– Clark Humphrey

– another blogger template contest – I am finding this a little odd, but am still tempted to submit.
– googlevote – tried to do this with a public utility district commissioner position, but couldn’t find anything more than 2 news stories in the Olympian, neither very helpful.
– japan mac casemodding – sexy. “He uses real gold dust suspended in paint, gold leaf and little strips of decorative paper lacquered onto the lid.” I want one. 🙂

– making the case for PHP at Yahoo!
– search the 1880 census
– women’s fashion, part 1
– love and statistics
– the problem of the ping-pong effect

Ubiquitously yours: “[…] the alternative is too depressing to contemplate: innumerable daily interactions – intimate and subtly all-encompassing – each with the interaction quality of reformatting copy in Microsoft Word.”

the Battlefield Earth of Flash – ew.

Ice Age Haute Couture – for personal reference.

also [was part of another note]: 25 theses of information architecture – “Without human intervention, information devolves into entropy and chaos.” which is why Greyson (I miss him!) called me the Queen of Entropy (a promotion from Random Chaos Girl), I think. I’d like to say that my true calling in life is finding order/meaning in information…more even than writing, design, programming, etc., etc. every job I’ve ever had has included a strong compontent of order-generation.

– Googlism (“elaine is”)

although I don’t mind “elaine is king again” or “elaine is the sweetest girlfriend in the world”. 🙂
