I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.

Brave GNU World

Hey, that's a real BAD PUN! I wish I'd thought of that!
OK, well, there's not much to say about this thing, except there's this new Web- loggy magazine thing that is all about the GNU project.
It's by a guy named "Georg," which is a cool name. It sounds like a James Bond villain name. Like a guy with a real big head who tries to kill James Bond. It's too bad that Georg didn't get the domain name ge.org, because that would be cool. But another German guy got that, so I guess it's all right.
If I had the ge.org domain, and my name was Georg, I would probably let anyone else named Georg have an account there, so like if their name was "Georg Busey" or something, they could have the url http://ge.org/busey/ as their home page. Sorta like in solidarity with other guys named Georg. The same would work for, like, ja.net or johnn.ie or something.
Oh! But "Brave GNU World" is what I was talking about. It's a good site. It's got lots of GNU info. Like, the new GCC-based Java compiler is covered. Which is cool. AND there's other stuff. Go look now.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
