- This is a new game I saw posted on the Dexterity forums. It's really quite engaging and somewhat addicting. You control a bouncing tennis ball around a series of obstacles and puzzles to clear a level. It's "mindful" fun. (Um as opposed to mindless) |

- In her seminal essay on weblogging, Rebecca Blood defined a weblog as "a website that is updated frequently, with new material posted at the top of the page". The definition in Sam's Wiki is similar. "Definition: A collection of resources created or selected by a person day-to-day and appearing in chronological order". Today The Economist quoted Dave Winer as having said, "The key attribute that makes a blog a blog and not some ordinary piece of web publishing is amateurism". |

- How to use liposuction to repair Adobe Reader 6 This might be useful for trimming down the bloated pig formerly known as Acrobat Reader, but as there's no compelling (or even half-way pretending to be compelling) reason to upgrade, I'll just try to avoid it. This tip only improves load times, and has no affect on the other annoying aspects of the new version, such as the stupid fucking ads. |

Inside Tour (Aug 15 2003 02:53 GMT) - The students were mostly gone, summer session done. The grass and the trees were catching their breath from the tramplings they'd grown used to. The sky was blue, but the air was cool, a welcome break for four travellers having just escaped the blistering heat of Texas. The four of them -- a man, a woman, and two boys -- parked their car north of Green and walked along the bike lanes to the central campus several blocks to the south. It was full sun, but they marvelled at the temperature. |
