Wordpress spam
There’s trouble a-brewing with [Wordpress](http://www.wordpress.org).
Right now, the [Wordpress site](http://www.wordpress.org) is unavailable, and I’ll bet cash money it has a lot to do the recent [kerfluffle](http://www.waxy.org/archive/2005/03/30/wordpres.shtml) over the seedy business practices Wordpress has begun engaging in.
Since my blog is powered by Wordpress, I’m slightly disappointed in this. I chose Wordpress as much for the [...]

ChangeThis
One of the reasons I can’t wait for our DSL to be reconnected at home is so that I can spend even *more* time at [ChangeThis](http://www.changethis.com). As it is, there just aren’t enough hours in the day for me to be able to read everything I would like to over there.

DSL Update
A couple of months ago, I posted that our DSL went kablooie. And now, a couple of months later, it’s still down. Here’s the story of what happened.

Stephen Tobolowsky’s Birthday Party
A while ago, someone asked me who my favourite actors were. I started rattling off some names — Ron Pearlman, Bruce Campbell, William H. Macy — and I was stopped, and asked who my favourite *big name* actors were.

I picked up the DVD over the weekend. I still haven’t gotten around to watching the movie, because I’ve been spending [...]

I would love to have some dates on the rollout of these kinds of things. Major directors like Michael Mann and George Lucas [...]
Zelda: A Cautionary Tale
“Yes” or “no”?
Two years of sitting on a shelf with a mental note of “must complete, someday”, I finally got around to playing Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. And for two weeks, every spare half hour was spent playing that game, beating various bosses, sailing the seas digging up treasure, talking to [...]
