I've written two posts (I write posts in Emacs and paste them here, in Movable Type), meaning to post them, but I've never felt like posting them. So, sorry for the silence.
Some things of interest (perhaps to no one but me):
October 28, 2008
"Army defense task force targeting hackers". Mentions The Defense Industrial Base Cyber-Security Task Force and a recent report by The Defense Science Board.
Kramnik and Anand continue to scrap in the World Chess Championship. (Update: Anand won 10/30/08)
Eddie Campbell on the British small press comics scene of the '80s: Part 1 and Part 2.
Someone at the A.V. Club watches all 5 Saw films, in a row, in a theater, with teenagers, for the first time ever, which reminds me of my favorite scene in Cabin Fever:
The Cure, "To the Sky"
one perfect morning i was all alone
listening to the blaze of summer
drifting
i was falling
i was floating in a golden haze
breathing in the sky blue sounds
of memories of other days
and in my dreams i was a child
flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
and i was floating through the colours of a sky
up to the stars and angels
up up up to heaven
up up up forever
up up up to heaven
up up up forever
turning in my climb
i looked down on a lake
and traced upon the water there
i saw your face
and sang in recollection
of the times we shared...
then pushed on ever upward to the sky
up up up to heaven
up up up forever
up up up to heaven
up up up forever
and in my dreams i was a child
flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
and i was floating through the colours of a sky
up to the stars and angels
up up up to heaven
up up up forever
up up up to heaven
up up up forever

It's dark and cold and on the way in there were people welding on a new building, and all I could see was the sparks.
Wikimedia Ubuntu migration FAQ. Q: "Why Ubuntu in particular?" A: "It's got the things we like about Fedora [...] with a longer security update schedule, plus the things we like about Debian [...]."
Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
Henry Rollins and the Emergence of Hardcore.
From Mark Cuban and the people who brought you sharesleuth.com: bailoutsleuth.com. The goal: "Its job is simple, keep an eye on our taxpayer dollars and call Bullshit when necessary."
"You know that foreign correspondent's ruse; in the days when you had your profession on the passport, you put writer; and then when you were in some trouble spot, in order to conceal your identity you simply changed the r in writer to an a and became a waiter. I always thought there was a great truth there. Writing is waiting, for me certainly. It wouldn't bother me a bit if I didn't write one word in the morning. I'd just think, you know, not yet. The job seems to be one of making yourself receptive to whatever's on the rise that day. I was quite surprised to read how much dread Father felt as he approached the typewriter in the morning." Martin Amis on writing. (via The Elegant Variation)
13 hours of Lisp (Clojure is the language of the future?) and your Free Will Astrology.
