Been busy with work and comics, so here are some links: evil giraffes, Cory Doctorow on DRM, a quiz about strong black women, a map of queer America, and the troubling anti-Muslim backlash following recent beheadings.

A grab-bag of links: Jellyfish are a great band, Abu Ghraib reflects routine US prison abuse, Jon Stewart gave a funny commencement speech, and Smallville is getting good now that it's ditching freak-of-the-week for real Lex-vs-Clark conflict.

BacklogApr 30, 2004

Clearing my backlog: Abu Ghraib torture outrages me, we should rent a castle in August, Mills and Boon manga exists, some guy bet his life savings on roulette and won, and yes, Wolf Blitzer's mother really does call him Wolf.

Four exams down, one easy French one to go. I'm back, redesigning the site and dumping my massive backlog of links on you, 10 a day. Job hunting too. Hundreds more links where these came from.

Consumed by war coverage, I've rounded up a grab-bag of links: a Baghdad blog gone silent, Robin Cook's resignation speech, anti-French hysteria, ready.gov parodies, propaganda name generators, BBC's free video feeds, and the CIA's hilariously absurd kids' homepage.

Reluctant blogging today yields a link dump: Monopoly Tycoon, a 20-minute HIV test, magnetic pole flipping, web standards research for my ambitious Web2 project, KaZaA popup fixes, UI shame, Mozilla vs IE, and a possible Edinburgh master's. Also: antibiotics. Yuck.

Sitting inches from a window at 1:30am, watching ducks hunt worms in the rain. Meanwhile: laser cannons, Phoenix browser's chaos-inducing "open all tabs" feature, Microsoft acting like IBM post-antitrust, Nokia's garish phones, a Beckham kidnap plot, and a skateboard for your AIBO. Links ahoy.

A roundup of links: invisible comets, powers of 10, a great domain name, Television Without Pity's Sex and the City recaps, and fat people suing everyone. Also, I'm not alone in threatening to kill people with a spoon. Finally got a work project, but clearly not too busy to blog.

A dull Easter vacation with spotty internet. Highlights: the iBong, stern Russian greeting card chickens, a Java drawing BBS, some useful Windows tools, a brilliant mashup track, job rejection for being a student, CMS nightmares, and a fat dancer leaving a band.

Easter vacation is here and I'm clearing out my bookmarks backlog. Highlights include file sharing drama (KaZaA vs Morpheus), VCD tools, a 2002 movie preview, and LimeWire vs BearShare comparisons. KaZaA wins for memory manners, AudioGalaxy loses for not having Fraggle Rock.
