I [Heart]...

Ed Hochuli is my favorite NFL ref, because he does the fist-into-palm signal for “automatic” before signaling a first down resulting from a penalty.

Only a multi-language coder could truly appreciate such pedantic adherence to convention and form.

Just Me?

Am I alone in noticing that DoubleClick’s servers have been slow enough to screw up most large news sites in the past few days?

Holla!

My little Python hack “woogie” is now feature-complete.

Explanation necessary:

woogie is a Windows-based Python script that runs a light webserver on port 9999 and makes my music library information available to me over the local network (only).  It’s really high-latency, but it gets the job done.  It will serve a single-song or entire-album playlist to me, then serve the actual MP3’s over HTTP.

I could easily convert this to PHP and run a MAP setup (this is a joke: Microsoft-Apache-PHP, as opposed to LAMP: Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP).

It even does album art.  The interface isn’t attractive, but it works quite well.  It’s a little bumpy between songs because WMP doesn’t optimize too well, but hey, at least I’m not blasting speakers or running back and forth across the apartment all the time.

Channel Surfing Brain Fart

I realize that buckskin was a plentiful clothing material in the Old West, but would struggling ranchers and farmers find cause to create fringed buckskin clothing?

U2

Funny

I don’t want to know the hours that went into that.

The Other Bush

The media inflation of Reggie Bush’s stats and performance has been insane.  “250 combined yards in games 1 and 2”?  Highlight reels of “amazing moves” yielding 5 net yards on a kickoff return?

He got, I think, 68 yards this last game.  Meh.

I Want My MTV

With the understanding that everyone does not have access to the 0.0000895% of the day in which videos are played on MTV, MTV2, or VH-1, this, while not being much of a musical feat is certainly worth a watch for the choreography.

An Exchange

Pope: Islam is a violent, evil religion.
Islam: That’s not true!  Kill the friggin’ Pope!
