Yes, because words really needed a social metadata site.

Wordie: My list of Vowel Changetacular adjectives

This (via Engadget) is the only ipod wireless device I’ve seen that actually provides the functionality I want — most wireless headphones are both expensive and fragile. With one of these, I can pop in my cheap headphone of the week (this week it’s the Koss KSC75, which hook over the ear rather than having a snappable headband) and not freak out when I inevitably break them.

Well, I’m still tweaking, but I’ve hit 50k, more or less finished out a truly crappy plot, and am, as they say, spent.

I can’t wait for next year! Except that I can and will happily wait at least the intervening year, because that’s how long it will take for me to recover from this one.

That would suck. I just found them a few weeks ago, and they quickly became my favorite source for tv and movie news, rumors, reviews, etc.

Another experiment with ComicLife

I helped my sister set up her new computer (a mac mini), and I have to say, it’s got some nice bells and whistles, including Front Row, which is pretty nifty looking, a remote, etc. But one of the biggest crowd pleasers is “Plasq’s”:http://plasq.com “Comic Life” software, which lets you take whatever images you happen to have (it’ll pull from your iphoto library or you can just feed it image files) and put them in a comic-book panel format.

It’s pretty hilarious. Not my example page, the program. Not sure I have a need for it, but still…

Oh, if you’re wondering, the images are, in order, a young Hannah Arendt, Henry Moore’s ??Bridge Prop?? (AKA “The Multi-Ass Chair”), the pointy part of a watchclock station, some guy, some other guy, and a fountain pen that survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima. No special logic determined what pictures were selected for the demonstration, other than the shape of the panels.
