Defend Your Castle
Posted in Fun on Jun 16th, 2003
Pick up the attacking soldiers and drop them to their deaths. The game warns that your wrist will hurt. On the first couple of levels you may be tempted to wonder – what are they kidding? They aren’t kidding.
Oh My God – That’s Nasty
Posted in Web on Jun 15th, 2003
I’ve never been afraid of spiders. I know plenty of people who are, but spiders just seem small and kind of harmless to me. When I have one take up residence in my place, I typically ignore it on the assumption that they’ll eat all of the other annoying little insects. But then… Oh my [...]
Finally!!!
Posted in Books on Jun 15th, 2003
I finally managed to finish Perdido Street Station. It is as though a huge weight has been removed from my skull. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a reasonably good book filled with many interesting inventions. It’s just that I’ve been struggling to get through this thing since at least early December of last year. Other [...]
Tragic Story

A body is found in the frozen North Dakota woods. The cops say the dead Japanese woman was looking for the $1m she saw buried in the film Fargo. But the story didn’t end there.

Fancy Soup is a strange, but interesting animated web cartoon. There have been seven of them so far. This is number five. Hit the guys home for links to the other episodes, or just hack the URL.
Stupid Body
Posted in Personal on Jun 9th, 2003
My dumb body woke me up this morning at around 5 AM for no other reason than simple spite. Well, OK, I did get to bed a bit earlier than normal last night due to the fact that staying out really, incredibly, just stupidly late on both Friday and Saturday knocked my internal clock deep [...]
Can I (mis)Quote You On That
Posted in Other Media on Jun 8th, 2003
Well, look at that. It seems I was quoted in a New York Times Article on music and the internet. I don’t think the first clause of the last sentence of the quote sounds like something I’d be likely to say, but they got the gist of it I guess. I was pretty sure they [...]
