- davezilla.com - pick your convention for 2002. The icons in the chart represent: Condom * Underwear * Toilet Paper * Mr. Spock * Film * Diskette * Coffee, which Davezilla says means: Good chance you'll get some * See your friends half-nekkid * Decent Facilities * Geeks * Kodak Moments * You may learn something * Drug of choice freely available. I'm just not sure which to pick, but I'm leaning toward either BlogCon or SXSW (or both).
- Glenn Reynolds (the Instapundit) talks about A Technological Reformation in the works. Something about weblogs and them bugging journalists. Seems there are journalists who don't like the way bloggers can fact check your ass and point out the problems. But it's really the death of Big Media. I'm not so sure. Big Media has Big Money, and that often wins out, regardless of the merits. [instapundit]
- Mail volume drops sharply after Sept. 11; rates to rise. Why does this always happen just after I've bought a roll of stamps? [fark!]
- Will Ringling Bros. beat animal-rights clowns at their own game? The circus is finally standing up to PETA (and I mean the terroristic, save-bambi ones, rather than the good, top of the food-chain People Eating Tasty Animals version) rather than paying them money to shut them up. Did you know that at one point PETA bought ringlingbrothers.com and used it to publicize their take on circus cruelty to animals? Yet they screamed bloody murder when someone bought peta.org for a carnivore-happy website. Well, here's hoping the circus will kick some bunny-hugging butt. [instapundit]
- How to be an American. Heh! [fark!]
- Y'know how sometimes something that should be funny isn't, because it hits too close to home? Dilbert on Dating.
- Jason Kottke points to a kinda cool impromptu art exhibit. Huh!
- Lawmaker: Is CD copy-protection illegal? Funny how the RIAA and its members have shot themselves in the foot. [daypop]
- Rock and Roll Confidential - To The Web What Corey Hart Is To Rock And Roll.. Make sure to check the gallery.
- Tonio K is one of my friend Jim's favorite artists. This is his list of Ten Most Significant Contributors to the History of Recorded Music. You've heard of some of them and not some of the others. Most of them were even recording artists. Pick #1 is the most interesting.
- Finally, Ohio Ban on Concealed Weapons Ruled Unconstitutional. Wow. A big step forward for the Second Amendment. [fark!]
