Group Filtering
BIMBO looks like an interesting idea: BIMBO, apart from being an extremely contrived acronym, is a computer program which, roughly speaking, reads the web so that you don’t have to. It gathers links from a set of sources — mainly, web logs and news pages — and invites a group of moderators — the oligarchy…

So, Yeah – That’s Vegas
I really don’t like Vegas very much. But, I really do like my friends, so what are you going to do? You know other than take lots and lots of photographs. I am a giant ball of pain. I may need to take some time off to recover from my time off.

I’m Sorry!
I’m Sorry I’m Sorry I’m Sorry I sincerely hope that you and everyone you know and anyone you don’t know will be OK. If I could stop it. If I could do anything. I’m really, really sorry.

Science of Flirting
The science of flirting: “It’s not entirely surprising, given the levels of ambiguity and deception to which they are subjected, that males tend to become confused.” So then not my fault. Excellent. Now, how can I turn this knowledge to my own nefarious purposes?

Spun
So, Spun has just been added to my Must See movie list. Why is it that this thing has already opened in New York, and here in Big Ass City, Los Angeles I still can’t see it? Where is the LA love? Oh, and I’ve now got a clock going on how long it will…

Toilets as Art
OK, well some of these images are beautiful. Some are decidedly not beautiful, and the one with the bison head (or whatever that was) scares me just a little bit. Still, MicHael Galkovsky’s Toilets series is worth a look.

Set your Tivos
Children of Dune starts on the SciFi channel on Sunday. I’ve always been just the hugest Dune fan. I liked the Lynch film (even though you really need to have read the books to get it, and if you read the books, then you’ll also get how very, very wrong it was). I LOVED the…

Excellent Self Portraits
I LOVE the photography of Asya Schween. It’s basically a series of self-portraits, but she went all out with these. Costumes and effects and… just Wow! It’s vanity. It’s anti-vanity. It’s art in a very real and personal way.

Some People are Funny
I was going to link to Skot’s very funny entry about terrible song lyrics, but he doesn’t seem to have permanent links. So instead I’ll just link to his entire site since it’s all good stuff. If you really want to read the one about the song lyrics, go to his audio club category and…

The Need to Believe
I think I may want to take the time to read The Need to Believe a little later. It’s the story of a child coming to terms with a parents artwork; trying to come to terms with its value and place in the world after the father’s death. I’d read it now, but my attention…
