Eavesdropping can be amusing
Friday, February 11, 2000 11:03 a.m.
This page is nothing but a collection of overheard conversations, but it's highly amusing.

I wanna be a geek chick

A great editorial by a self proclaimed geek chick about the lack of women in the hacker/open source community.

Are you smoking crack?
Friday, February 4, 2000 10:52 p.m.
Apparently, for this 88-year-old, the answer was yes. I probably shouldn't find this funny, but for some reason, I do. What can I say? References to crack make me laugh like the pathetic weirdo I am.

Pulp Fiction

This site rules. Except for the midi file of "Bang a Gong", but I guess you can't have everything. It's covers from trashy pulp magazines. I was particularly amused by "LSD Orgy" and "Lesbians in Black Lace." Oh yeah. I got this link from Metallic Pitas of Death, a very good pita indeed.

The MPAA can suck my ass
Friday, February 4, 2000 07:02 p.m.
Oh, how I adore the MPAA. They're so enlightened about the ways of technology. The fact that you could copy a DVD without cracking the "encryption" is apparently completely beyond them. And I particularly enjoy their suit against 2600.com, it's so logical. (A very nice touch that the suit was filed the day Kevin Mitnick was finally released from prison, which should have been a GOOD day at 2600). They're almost as brilliant as the RIAA, which is currently suing mp3.com for their new my.mp3.com service. Yeah, baby, YEAH.

I still remember
Friday, February 4, 2000 06:51 p.m.
You might think that after 7 years I would be OK. But still, there are days that I am not. On March 11 of this year, it will have been 7 years since I was acquaintance raped. And goddammit, it still hurts.

Bitch Test!
Wednesday, February 2, 2000 10:25 p.m.
I am 50% bitch. Like I needed a test to tell me that. It's pretty funny, though.

Emotion Engine?
Wednesday, February 2, 2000 11:15 a.m.
If half the shit they're saying about the chip in the Playstation 2 is true, I'll be creaming my jeans over it. This article gives you information that's probably just want Sony wants you to hear, but it's enough. I can't wait.

My Personal God

Salon.com gives one of my favorite musicians, David Bowie, the "Brilliant Careers" treatment. It's pretty interesting. Check it out.

Just a note - All my entries for the month of January have been moved to the archives, and I also started over on the Daily Quotes. Yes, I realize the quotes are almost exclusively from Ani, but what can I say? I'm obsessed.

Daily Quotes

"If you're this full of bitterness now, someday it will just fill you." (Ani DiFranco)

"You are distracting me from all other activities, and I know the fact of your presence will dominate my memory of this restaurant, this table, this day and this town, 'cause I carry you, baby, I carry you around."(Ani DiFranco)

"I've got a dream with your face in it that scares me awake. I put too much on the table, now I've got too much at stake." (Ani DiFranco)

"It's a narrow margin, just room enough for regret, in the inch and a half between "Hey, how ya been?" and "Can I kiss you yet?" So we talk like nervous neighbors over a tall fence, true love but for lack of providence." (Ani DiFranco)

"Things can't get much weirder, things can't get much worse. Don't know why you wouldn't kiss me, but it's a good thing I asked you first. You were a big strapping boy with a boner, and I felt it in your goodbye. You gave me an evening I'll never forget, no matter how hard I try. Yeah you were just Mister Flirtatious, all night just working that ass. Well, you know, it's uncool to bring it to school if you don't want to share with the class. You've earned yourself a place in my memory, by being the one who said no. Now where are my fucking car keys, I think I should just go." (Ani DiFranco)
