Inspired by Belatrys’ reading guide, I went to the used bookstore down the street from me to find a copy of Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch.
He’s popular. The store had a small number of his books, but there was a hard cover copy of Night Watch on the shelves.
I’m late to this whole Discworld business. Cynthia [...]

Earth is really full of things. — The King of All Cosmos, in Katamari Damacy
It’s New Year’s Eve, and I didn’t play as much Katamari Damacy or World of Warcraft over the holiday break as I wanted. I was working on this end of the year post.
Here’s my stab at a ‘best of the web’ [...]

Politics and Markup in the same post.
Technorati’s tracking vote links.
Kevin and Tantek mentioned the idea of voting while linking at the Lossless XHTML talk last month. So they are testing it on our Election Day.
In practice: I support Kerry.

I sincerely doubt that Bush possesses a faith of any kind. Nor do I think he’s a harbinger of fascism.
No, he’s the guy trying to sell you a Herbalife franchise.
There’s no delusions, no desire to trigger the Christian “end times.” He’s just an opportunistic huxter in over his head. Those scammers like to use the [...]

There are photos from last Sunday’s fundraiser for the Kerry campaign up on the High Stakes site.
If it’s screwy in IE, let me know.
Otherwise, enjoy the celebrity overload.
We have megabytes of photos from the LA event, but not many photos from the other 41 parties. If you have photos from one of them, let me [...]

To everyone who hosted, came to a party, or donated: Thank You!
At the big party in LA:

I just got off the phone with Alyson Abramowitz, who’s been our go-between for the Kerry and Joss camps. She’s been doing the heavy lifting the past few days. There are now 29 parties nationwide. We even have a URL on the Kerry site.
Joss will be at the LA party, co-hosted by Marsia of the [...]

Aloha from Kihei once again.
Joss Whedon will call into parties at 2pm Pacific.
The Silicon Valley party will be at the home of my friends Charles and Judith from 1 to 5pm.
Again, mahalo for your interest and enthusiasm.
The party has been picked up by Ain’t it Cool News as well. Amusing to watch conservative fanboys riot [...]

Aloha from Maui (my vacation was planned before we came up with this crazy idea) if you came here through the http://whedonesque.com/ or Atrios, we’re trying to coordinate all the people asking about parties.
We will have a list of parties on http://www.highstakes2004.com/ starting Monday.
If you want to attend the Silicon Valley party, which will be [...]

Dammit, we’re still waiting to hear back from the involved parties on this Monday the 18th business I mentioned Tuesday.

I’d love to tell you more about Tinderbox Weekend, and Doug Miller’s cool keyword assignment hack he came up with on Sunday.
I’d like to respond to the person who sent a terse email to complain about a post from earlier this year where I argued against table-based-layouts.
And I want to connect the dots between friends [...]

A story in which noted Bablyon 5 fan and political operative Karl Rove asks for help with a fool-proof way to fix the election. Unfortunately, Science cannot cope with every fool.
The proposed gadget isn’t that funny, but stay for the punch line.
In Rove’s (imagined) words, “Oh, f*ck.”

I cannot begin to tell you how angry I am that my State’s court has ruled that my friend’s marriages have no value.
Update
Well, BBum says that Cory and, by simple algebra, myself have foot-in-mouth, and we should realize that the court had no choice to rule the way it did. And that it creates the [...]

There’s a staggering amount of money spent on transport projects in the Bay Area, and I’ve been reading Bay Area Transportation News on Yahoo! Groups to keep up.
It’s where I learned about the fight over the Transbay Terminal and a developer (and supporter of SF Mayor Gavin Newsom) who’s managing to hold up the project [...]
