I was browsing Blogger’s 10 most recently updated blogs this afternoon and I came across some random post that made me want to comment. At first I thought well, this person doesn’t really have anyone else commenting, and I don’t even know them. Also I’d be the only one commenting and just feel like I was throwing myself into their world uninvited. I also started thinking about whether I would want to leave my name there, or just post anonymously.

As you can tell, I haven’t put too much thought into this but I considered the fact that since I put up the comments two days ago I’ve only had 1 person leave a comment and he left that anonymously. His post wasn’t exactly astute, but did I mind? No absolutely not in fact I wish more people would post comments – assuming the comments are related to the post anyway. So here it is, an open invitation for metacomments – that is to say comments about comments. (Alternatively you can comment about the new word I just made up, “metacomment”.) Enough rambling. Please comment. Really.

If you haven’t seen this commercial yet, don’t waste anymore time, it’s GReeeAAATE!

When you’re done checking that one out, you might want to flip the next button because there are a plethora of gems on this site.

Update: Turnpike films no longer offers their videos for free general public consumption.

You have to check this multiplayer Cowboy game out. I am really impressed.

It might be redundant to say this, considering everything looks different, but I’ve been working on a site redesign – which I think is coming along nicely. I’ll have comments up soon, as well I’m still going to update the flash part at the top. Please let me know what you think.

Update: Comments are up, but the archives are a mess.
Another Update: Everything seems to be working great. Please feel free to comment if you think otherwise.

Grow weird things on a weird planet… weirdly.

It’s a good thing I finally finished the Internet because it’s almost midnight and I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately anyway. I’ve been working on it pretty hard, you know, visiting at least 1 or 2 new sites everyday, and trying not to spend too much time on the same old sites.

“The Douglas Adams media archive is presented here by the wi2600.org groups for your enjoyment. This also is to serve as a tribute to Mr. Adams’s great, but suddenly shortened career. Those who have not heard his voice and those who know it well will both enjoy having this material available. We will miss him!”

I downloaded the collection tonight and made myself a nice MP3 CDROM for the Jeep. I’m guessing I fit just under 9000 minutes or 150 hours of Hitchhiker audio fun on that CD. (I recommend using a program like Getright to enable efficient downloading of that many MP3 files).

Update: The Mediawhore.wi2600.org link to Douglas Adams media archive is down. I guess copyright / bandwidth limitations were too much.

Malware writers are releasing competing variants of current worms, each containing taunts deriding the coding skills of the others.

“And now the authors of MyDoom.G, spreading today, have included comments in the worm’s code insulting Netsky.

“We have three different groups fighting here,” said Mikko Hypponen, director of antivirus research for F-Secure.”

I don’t know (or care) who’s going to win, but what I do know is that not one of these guys knows how to spell.

The Mars Rover Opportunity is the first of the two twin robots to discover strong evidence that water once flowed on mars. “That does not mean life was there. We don’t know that, but this was a habitable place on Mars at one point in time,” said Cornell University astronomer Steve Squyres who works as the principal investigator for NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity rover missions. But as Squyres explains, “This was the kind of place that would have been suitable for life.”
