New Years
Happy New Year everyone! This is Paint Week, I'm taking the week off to finish painting my kitchen. For a look (as long as the lights are on) check out the cam.
And now for link madness: Is Bush a robot? Are you a Buckra? Are you the breast implant in his living room?

Mystery monolith
A mysterious metal monolith has appeared in Seattle. Now is that cool, or what?

monolith
I keep coming up with more things that have to be done while I'm painting. Cracks that need sealing, cabinets that need cleaning, I decided to clean up the chrome/stainless steel hinges on the cabinets. Yaaa! The only painting I've done this week is to start some of the trim work.
How about — a script that generates randomly a Geocities address. Very odd, but kind of entertaining.
And now the monolith is gone, with a single red rose left in its place. Very cool.

Hey folks — WHAT IS IT? Send your best guess to RouseWorld.
Okay — let's get random. Everyone knows that everyone hates France, but these guys want to pave France. Hmm, ... pavement. Now that you have broadband, try one of those huge flash HEAVY sites that just don't load with an analog modem. Heavy — home of 'Inside the Music That Sucks.' And here's another broadband question to ponder — are you a Napsterholic?
And yes, I've gone and done another Wayward Packet.

The Internet is full of advice. Here are some things to say when you are
loosing a technical argument. Speaking of
technical (okay, lame transition), here is a picture that might be
the IT thing.
Well, we've gone from B2C to B2B ... now here is S2S.

Will painting my kitchen be the RouseHouse Vietnam?
The kitchen has been a complete shambles for months, there are refugee items dumped in the living room, the computer
room and bedroom are trying to carry on like nothing is happening while the bathroom waves banners in protest
(well, the wallpaper is peeling).
I had thought that this would be the final end product of the
amihotornot theme, but maybe I
am wrong.
I only wish spammers were this creative.
Or maybe I don't...
What do Britney Spears fans
"think" of our new
President?

I don't mean to be cruel (well ...) have you ever noticed that you never see anyone like
Bill Gates complaining that
so-and-so musician has
"sold -out." Does "Sold
Out" just mean, 'damn -- now everyone likes his stuff, I can't like it anymore' — or
am I missing something?
By the way, I apologize for the gratuitous Bill Gates link (well ...), but he has written some interesting essays
that are on that web site of his.
And yes, Fox's Temptation Island is
evil and wrong —
but I'm going to follow along anyway.

I've been a little busy at work lately, thus the lapses in updating.
Is it parody, political commentary, or e-business? It is Birdman. Of
course the three mixed together describe a bunch of web sites, but Birdman makes me smile. BANG!
I'm not really into anime/manga, but I've been enjoying MegaTokyo.
I've said for a while that some of the Durham lads ought to get together and do an on-line comic — maybe
with more of a D&D flair, of course. If you are going to check out MT you ought to look at
fredart as well. It is the web site of one of MT's artists with two galleries
of his work, pretty cool.

It certainly isn't anime but Soap on a Rope can be
pretty funny. Another good online comic is the very odd
Exploitation Now, the adventures of a bimbo and a talking cat ...
no, really.

The real fakes
Some things I've been thinking about lately, in no particular order:
- Super Toys Last All Summer Long
- An interesting short story that
Stanley Kubrick and now Steven Spielberg
have been working into a movie. - Andrew Crosse's Acari
- Was an Englishman in 1837 the first man to create a new form of life? I first heard of this guy in
Rupert Gould's
Oddities. Some people think he might have
been the inspiration for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. - Art made Flesh - Now people create art from
living creatures. - robotfindskitten - But perhaps some kind of balance can
be struck between technology and nature.
Oh yeah, I've also done a new Wayward Packet.
