The BlogSpot Jihad continues. Kevin, over at WizBang, has gathered a group of volunteers to install & set-up Movable Type for people wishing to take advantage of 1&1‘s free 3 years of hosting deal. (That deal seemed too good to be true to me when I first heard about it, but it appears to be… Continue reading Free Hosting and Movable Type Install

Shots from the 2003 Sydney Auto Show
Vanilla Shots has just put up a gallery of pictures taken at the Sydney Auto Show. There are some nice (real nice) cars over there — peep the Nissan 350z Convertible, the wild looking Subaru, the beautiful Porsche and all the rest.
Painting a Coloured Life
While I’m on my world tour I thought I’d give props to minha amiga Ani over at Painting a Coloured Life. I’ve had her blog on my blogroll for a while now. Originally I was looking for some Portuguese blogs to read to practice my rusty Portuguese. But it was her artwork that really grabbed… Continue reading Painting a Coloured Life

I like the idea of this ‘learning’ plugin much… Continue reading James Seng’s Bayesian Filter for Fighting Blog Spam
The Boondocks in Color?
I just noticed that the weekday Boondocks are in color on my myYahoo! page. Yet the ones that I get emailed daily, from uComics are still black & white. I wonder if Yahoo is colorizing them, or if the other publishers are removing the color. I suspect it’s the latter. It makes perfect sense in… Continue reading The Boondocks in Color?
What Matrix Persona Am I?
Charles pointed me to this quiz. I’m not the least bit surprised at the result (One cool, bad muthaphuka.. shut your mouth). One of my favorite lines for many years now is “I can only show you the door…” Morpheus stole that from me. 😉 You are Morpheus, from “The Matrix.” Youhave strong faith in… Continue reading What Matrix Persona Am I?
