A lovely Memorial day here in the States: best highlight – playing a few games of foosball – including playing a game with my wife Jennifer – who had never played before, ever.

Thought for the day:

I blog them so I may revisit (or visit!) them.
The other day I watched Stop Making Sense [buy | learn about] on DVD.
I had not seen the movie in a while. I do have a VHS videocassette version, but have not whipped it out for maybe 2 years.
I was struck, on the additional commentary track, bu the naivete of the artists, and of Jonathan Demme, the Director. Perhaps they were indulging in nostalgia, but it sounds like a project that was fun to make. It was great to hear the thoughts of the participants, these many years later. It’s stunning to me that it’s 17 years old now. I can vividly remember being in my local Tower Records and wanting to buy it, but not having the money for it.
Talking Heads were a remarkable band, for their ingenuity and originality.
Another addition to the lab:
WS_FTP Password Decoder.
New stuff for the lab!
Multiple, Hierarchical SelectBoxes and Reverse a string, but only the digits.
Always satisfying to add to the lab. Based on the hit logs, it looks like people are using it. This makes me happy.
Rudy Limeback, a fellow I think very highly of, asked me to post this to my site somewhere. It was prompted by a simple question posted by the head lemur on the webdesign-L list, a mailing list for web developers.
And so, here it is.
I have an irrational affinity for Christina Aguilera.
In part it is irrational because her roots are multiethnic, like me. I have at least Scot, Irish, Mexican, Spanish, French, and Yaqui in me.
Christina can legitimately claim to be Latina, and be on the cover of Latina Magazine. She can also claim Irish heritage, and appear in the Irish Abroad web magazine.
This is a wonderful example of the melting pot. Many of us in the USA are just mutts. Interesting things happen when cultures mix. It also illustrates the fluidity of racial definitions. In the end we all should be judged by the content of our character.
