  Synchronicity & The West Wing Chicken suits on _Lost_ and _The West Wing_. Mentions of Grand Guignol on both robotwisdom and _The West Wing_. Ice cream in my hand and on _The West Wing_ within 10 minutes. If I were a tinfoil hat wearer I’d say that TWW were trying to send me a message over the past three days....

  Lincoln Memorial, 1990 or so. I guess I’m making up for lost time. The Lincoln Memorial is by far my favorite place in Washington, D.C. I can’t not cry when I turn to the right and read Lincoln’s great words, his second inaugural address. This bit, among others, always slays me: The progress of our arms, upon which all else...

  Go Read Brian Dear This wonderful set of posts deflates “Web 2.0 Hype™”, reinforces the awesomeness of those folks (like EVDB) who are working to remake the web to actually *use* these wonderful syndication tools and browser technologies to the fullest extent: Part I, Part II. _Backstory:_ I’ve actually met both Andy Baio (briefly) and Brian Dear (less briefly,...

  Zappa Chess Engine In Zappa news… Zappa Chess Engine Zappa is not named for the great Frank Zappa, or at least not directly.

  Guts Cake Yeah, no posts in a while eh? Latest bit of interestingness is the cake I made for Alex’s birthday: White cake, raspberry filling, and powdered sugar icing. The ribs are made from white chocolate. Sculpted by Joe. It was a lot of work, but very fun. More later this week.
