Time with Magda was too brief this weekend.. she leaves for Colombia on Friday. I want to give her a little traveling present, but I'm not sure what to get her. Maybe some stationary?

I suspect that I'll be writing a lot more project-stuff once I'm back in hobbit-hole mode.

Dan liked the FF movie, though I suspect it's mostly because he never read the comic as a kid. That's a good sign I think, but from the sound of things, Doctor Doom was pretty much totally redone from the ground up.

Graypumpkin also saw it, and he seems to mirror my suspicions best "Good for a TV Movie-level flick".

The general consensus is that it's not as bad as the turd burger that was Daredevil, but not up to the standards of Spidey or the new Batman.

You want to move the world,
Start with your body.
Yo, come on you gotta start with something.
If you wanna move your mind,
Just move your body.

The Angels with Attitude beauty contest does not penalize children for "things that are a normal part of being a child" such as bruises, missing teeth, and giant doll's eyes completely devoid of human emotion.

I find this more frightening than any zombie movie.

Interesting to discover that insanity is a legal term, not a psychiatric one.

I want a small bottle on a string to wear on my neck. Put something interesting and rare in it.

Re-tagging my old entries (one entry at a time, each time I touch my archives) is fast. just click-click-click from a drop-down, and hit update. good deal. I'm still only doing it for the days I hit with the archive.

Earliest Uses of Various Mathematical Symbols - These pages show the names of the individuals who first used various common mathematical symbols, and the dates the symbols first appeared.

It's so easy to think that math has just been around forever, and to forget that somebody had to come up with the stuff.. even just the plus and minus sign didn't show up until the 13th century.

Some Fark hot linked to an image on my site, and I got about 6500 extra hits yesterday. I did the htaccess switcheroo... I wonder how they like having a this rather than a buxom girlie in the forum? I was thinking of doing something "not safe for work" but opted out, because that'd probably generate more hits. a little teddy bear is more of a hit in that region, I think.

I've already had to kill myspace, xanga, and a few sidebar messageboards for far too many snatched images.

I also noticed that Pagenation sniffed out all of my flickr geotagged images and put them on a world map, too. Not as sharp an interface as geobloggers (and can be jagged-loading) but it's a different sort of design. I could see it improving greatly over time.

I didn't realize that Melissa Gilbert was *still* president of the Screen Actors Guild. I didn't know she could do that and be vice president of the AFL-CIO at the same time. I don't know why I keep thinking she's a lot older than 41. I shouldn't be saying "she still looks great" considering she's just in the "she looks great" category. Bruce Boxleitner hasn't aged as well, but they are a handsome couple.

I've found her sister (Sarah Gilbert) to be a cutie, too. (Sakes.. IMDB is a font of info... I didn't know Sarah was gay, or a mom.... her partner gave birth via a sperm donor, or in a new wb show "twins" that will be canceled in 5 episodes or less)

I really don't like the word "partner". I tend to go with girlfriend or wife.. but, one seems a little on the lightweight side, and the other isn't really accurate. Partner to me smacks of a business agreement, or a little too "Wild West" rather than a more deep interpersonal relationship.

[edit: how did I forget about just the word "Love"? I can't use the word lover with a straight face, but "her love" is nice. Best of the lot, I think.]
