Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I misspoke, it's actually Underpants Gnomes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Cursed Internet Boggle: [link]

If I weren't on Blackberry I'd google the "blood is life" speech and sub in Scrabble.

OK, this reminds me of a thing I've been thinking about: How people's internet use is going in two totally different directions -- "everyone" has broadband, so we want websites with videos on them and shit, but at the same time, "everyone" is getting Blackberries and whatnot, so they want stripped down sites. Am I right about this? What is The Industry doing about it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Instead of filling in an org chart in a pathetic imitation of a critical path thingy for my project management class.

And some of us tech fossils are still on dialup.

Go stripped down!

Thank you. No cable (see above) so I see why I would fly over my head.

Hence the quotes around "everyone." I meant the "everyone" that most designers design for.

Yeah, I was just bemoaning the lack of a market that exists for me. Mainly it is laziness, rather than any sort of principle. Poor me, too lazy to stay modern!

Oh dear. I have it on tape. Tomorrow, maybe.

That's really not a spoiler, but you'll see what I'm talking about.
