Now I Get It…

Ok, ok, thanks to this explanation about the war from a Warmonger to a Peacenik, now I finally get the war. Wow, I didn’t realize it was all that plain and simple. [via Jay. War gives him a headache too.]

By the way – can someone, anyone, point me to the official statement that the UN made when they told Bush that he couldn’t go and start a war? And then the link to an article about Bush’s speech on TV where he said that he didn’t care what the UN said, we had to go? (I know I’m paraphrasing here, that is why I’m looking for the actual articles.) I tried Google searches left and right, but I haven’t had any luck. Help? Anyone?

Speaking of Bush’s appearances, just how sure can you be that that is really him on TV anyways?. “Some experts suspect that this might be a heretofore unknown Bush brother, a family sleeper who has been groomed to step in at times of crisis, or even George Bush Sr on his first outing following a recent toupee fitting and a course of Botox injections.” [also via Jay.]

GZip, Not Just for Websites Anymore…

Just last week I mentioned using GZip to compress my website. Now it seems that scientist are asking File Compression: New Tool for Life Detection? “As a measure of overall pattern complexity, they find that the inherent pixel content of biologically generated fossils produces higher image compression ratios [more data redundancy], compared to their non-biological counterparts. The more the file shrinks, the more likely it is that a living process was involved.” [via Slashdot]

Hmmm… I wonder if Matt knew about this when he lead us all to gzip?

Daily Promise…

I realized last night while editing some photos for Pixelog that if I added one a day for the next month, I would still have a ton left over. That’s when it hit me … I must add at least one new photo daily. Must. Do. It. So I’m making a commitment to add them – and your job is to give me a swift kick if I don’t. I still have a few more from Europe to add (they always make me think of Ciscley), then it’s on to more recent photos – SXSW, the Houston Zoo, and more.

Get your fresh hot photos daily over at Pixelog!

The Right Question…

Derek asked me during SXSW why I had never shared a story at Fray. I said I didn’t know. He said, “I guess we just haven’t asked the right question.” You know what? He was right. But he has now with Bookends. My answer is already on the site.

Public Service Announcement…

In case you didn’t know, Faith has moved. She’s no longer Undisturbed (and I still like to thing of her as Ctrl-Alt-Ego), but now she is Oxymoronic: just like the name says. Enjoy!
