One day I'll have enough spare time to do something like this.

Cronenberg's "Spider"

Looking forward to whenever this hits theaters around here. I still wish I could find Naked Lunch on DVD, but it doesn't exist in any official form.

Apparently Vegas is where all the cool kids are this weekend. Maybe next year for me. I'm sure it's terrific, but I'll get the powerpoint decks if anybody releases them. Meanwhile, I have been spending this week in lovely Gatlinburg! If the Florida panhandle is the Redneck Riviera, this is the Redneck Aspen. But I have to admit I'm having kind of a blast. My in-laws managed to get a deal on a condo for the week. I haven't been here in about 10 years, but since I was last in town Ripley's has apparently bought or built just about everything, including the super-cheesy Haunted Adventure I experienced last night. But the best part is the nature, like horse riding and floating downriver in a big inflated doughnut. Especially when you have a terrific 6 yr old girl like ours (she didn't go in the Haunted Adventure, though, just the horses and tubing. And the Aquarium. And lots of tacky gift shops). Vicarious joy is the best kind.

CNN.com

Man. Somebody at CNN needs to lay off the Viagra.

memekitchen

I suppose there's no point in not mentioning that I have started a new website, where I'm putting my less meaningless thoughts into something akin to actual language, rather than these little brainfarts that I pop onto drewspace now and then. Just think of this as the flotsam, and memekitchen as the jetsam. I may end up using memekitchen as my main home on the web after a while, but for now I'll be doing both. Sounds like a lot, but it's actually not. Movable Type is so easy to set up, it really was just a matter of choosing colors in my css file. Feel free to drop by there and leave some comments; virtual grafitti the weblog way!

oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Essential Blogging

The genius couple behind Movable Type has also written this book for O'Reilly. And it has the weirdest cover, bar none, of any O'Reilly title in existence. If you don't believe me from the thumbnail in the catalog linked above, check out this larger version. Those are some messed up kitties.

3DOSX Themes

If you run Mac OS X, you can browse your file structure in 3D. This is actually pretty cool. Don't know how useful it is, at least right now, but it's pretty fabulous.

Is that what they meant by "switch"?

Apple's working real hard to sell more, um, units. See what this latest everyday person has to say about "switching."
