So… life’s been a little weird lately, and I stopped posting my “Everything I bookmarked todays” lists, but I’m still here.

Here’s some things I’m not writing about.

• My mom’s health.  Happy thoughts towards speedy recovery, mmmmkay dear readers?  KayThanks.
• Our firstborn son going to school in a week (didn’t we give him to someone as payment for something, already?)
• June’s 2nd Podcast (was going to do August’s Cover/Prince double-barrel show, but mom went back into surgery again, ’cause she seems to really enjoy DOING THAT, and so I drove out to the ‘wack to go see her afterwards.  I sang my guts out while driving out there, does that count?
• Itty bitty motherboards.
• James Brown WISHES he could jam with these guys. (unplugged, too)
• Sharing your wifi (without giving away your WEP/WPA keys), and getting same from others.
• Why I was using a computer to play Adventur when I was SIX on the mainframe at Queen’s (bonus points: why I heart encrypted communication so very very much).  Mom must’ve been singing me to sleep with this stuff…
• Some weird band from Holland I might like, if I heard more.
• I should have watched more of those load screens and DEMOES on my C64, I might’ve become an artist instead of a techie…
• How would I say it?  How would YOU say it?  How would they say it?
• Yummy, yummy Steampunk.  (Oh, and Arwen and I are going to see William Gibson talk ’bout his new book at CBC Radio 1.  How Canadian/Nerdy can we GET?)
• Videos that’re just a bunch of people dancing aren’t new…  neither’s choppy editing to make up for visual narrative.
• Bears – Beets – Battlestar Galactica: Top 10 Scenes from the Office
• Straw + Ink + Drawing in Monster Bits = Good.
• Slipping Firefox past people who prefer Vista’s black glass looks.
• Tie someone to a tree with their own feet.
• Lipogram: Story of over 50,000 words without using the letter “E” (etc)
• Pretty.  Weird.  Pretty/weird.
• Photography, and eco stuff, with nerdiness and alsoplus – can Burning Man Go Green?
• The guy who droplifted the fake Parrots Hilt’n cds with titles like “Why am I famous” and “What have I done?” does all SORTS of other art.
• Future Sound of London has come full-circle, and is doing what Kraftwerk used to: Breaking stuff, rebuilding it, and making it make noise.
• Korea:Breakdance:Beatboxing:Turntablism… Kickin’ the Pachebel Cannon OLD SCHOOL.

Oh, and Ripley and I are gonna go see K-OS.

WORD.
