What the hell is going on?

Americans have been looking at alternatives to the standard media juggernaut they have to endure. Although the BBC and other British news sites may not have the best coverage of the current political landscape considering the ties to the US. That said, Canada is in the same boat, with coverage leaning towards the American point of view but still enough independence to offer some differing view points. At least the ratio of terrorism, iraq and weapons of mass destruction to other news coverage is pretty low.

Yeah, you know what it is. Fun! It’s having five assignments due this week (albeit nice and evenly spaced out). It’s also spending seventeen and a half hours in the EngSoc lounge putting GW together. That really is fun though, sort of. It’s a bit different if it’s your first issue editing and the fucking computers won’t work and your staff is reduced and that reduced staff spent a fair portion of the weekend celebrating various staff related events. Wazoo. It’s time for some sleep. A few hours from now will be time for the operating systems assignment.

I have staged a coup and become editor of Los Golden Words. Bow before President Dave. This website looks pretty sparse right now. I made a new design a week or two ago, but never got around to putting it up. I think I was having style sheet issues. Sometimes they can be a pain in the ass.

I didn’t realize that a copy of Guernica was covered up for the benefit of Colin Powell. I really hope the horrors of war don’t offend him, you know him being a soldier and all. I’m sure he can deal with a protest piece, he’s seen it all before.

Epguides.com seems like a pretty useful resource for television series info. Well, useful if you’re a pirate and trying to download all of the episodes from some season of some show.

Mr. Rogers dies of cancer. I remember watching the show growing up, although I think I was a bigger fan of Mr. Dressup (pic). Rogers was responsible for bringing Mr. Dressup to the air in Canada. The era of children’s television I grew up with is drawing to a close.

Daytona 500 by Ghostface Killah is hands down one of the best driving songs out there. However, I’ve really never been able to make sense of it. There are parts that are understandable, it’s fast and it sounds cool. I guess it’s just rhyming. It’s not like people actually have to understand what you’re saying.

Came across the website for the Office of the Iraq Programme Oil for Food tonight. You can learn how much oil Iraq exports to the UN every week and read the items on the Goods Review List that cannot be imported into the country.

The search for more bookz has brought me to Project Gutenberg, one of those things I had come across awhile ago, but failed to remember. It’s pretty much exactly what it says it is, a project to bring printed works to the masses (for free). The only real problem I’m having with these books on computer is the lack of good reading utilities. I may have to pick up a palm of some sort or write the type of text-reader I’m looking for.
