backlog flush #63 2006.11.05  3 comments  I'm composing this on my latest piece of gizmo heaven, a Pocket PC. I'm sure I will have more about to say about it later, but for now I just want to make two three observations: handheld wifi is hecka fun whoever thought blue LED keypads (where just the letter or symbol lights up on an unlit surface) are cool should be beat over the head with a blunt PDA... it's impossible to focus on and difficult to read the letters not putting the angle brackets on the little keyboard makes it kind of a pain to do HTML. I guess the designers of this device wouldn't see that as a huge issue... Anyway, back to the linkflush: Why Bad Habits Are Hard to Break... someone once put it "Bad habits are hard to break...especially when you like them." Analysis of the 'Left Behind' Series... the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of our time? What's Your Dangerous Idea? I always thought stretching before exercise was a little over-emphasized. Videogames: Don't Try This at Home, but mostly because people will look at you funny. Uncovered: celebrating women in NYC (and also, the way they struck down the laws against toplessness.) I have to admit, I find the normalcy of it all very appealing. In a similar vein, Personal Breast, "12 essays on 12 pairs" Penn & Teller had an unreleased video game, Smoke and Mirrors, including Desert Bus, a real-time 8-hour drive across the desert. Did I link to 'Borrow a Bias'? The idea is a library that lets you "borrow" someone from a different walk of life so you can learn more about them. The Angry Nintendo Nerd In need to get some Super Mario War mojo working. Probably one of the biggest questions in my life I'm ignoring: Should I struggle to get my survivalist mojo working? Yeesh, what a paradise this life will seem like if something truly does go wrong.
