- [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] - Nearly every advance of Linux, open source, and free software on the desktop owes a debt to the X Window System. Too often, this debt goes unacknowledged. With the birth of X.org earlier this year, a foundational but once-stagnant project prepares to improve itself and its code to help free desktops everywhere. |

Interesting to see how Google is being viewed by those who might join it.... |

- So my network connection has been flaky all day - apparently, the damage has been getting worse all day too - when I first called Comcast, they just ran through their script. Later, there was a message "for residents of Howard County". Later, the message got updated to include about a fourth of the counties in Maryland. Supposedly, Comcast's bright eyed network people pushed through an "upgrade" so that they could offer VOIP. So I'm stuck with completely flaky service at the moment, and Comcast has no clue when it'll be fixed. |

Can you face the depths of the twilight with courage and the sense to embrace your inner stains and monsters? If so, you'll have the opportunity to exploit the veins of precious wisdom and inner healing that run thickly along the ley lines of self-awareness and self-acceptance. |

- Gauge: Ever since John Kerry shocked the nation by declaring on live national television that Mary Cheney is a lesbian, I haven't been able to look at him the same way. Poor Mary. She was just minding her business of being a pretty prominent individual whose sexual orientation has been widely reported and discussed, including by her own father while he was on the campaign trail back in August. I know this story is, like, so two weeks ago. |

- Gauge: When Andrew Sullivan took the stage Sunday night at DC9, a hipster bar filled with punk sensibility, a handful of hisses and under-the-breath utterances floated from the crowd. Perhaps for some, the presence of a famously conservative gay political animal was incongruous at an evening devoted to gay bloggers, many of whom were more demonstrably liberal in outlook. But Sullivan's overall reception was warm -- he did, after all, focus his reading on his disgust with the Bush administration's attempts to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. And it couldn't hurt that of the eight bloggers who read from the stage, his blog is the most famous: |

- Film: There's no denying The Grudge is, at moments, a very scary movie. It uses every trick to startle you, tingle your spine, and occasionally gross you out. But as horror goes, it's a trifle, a haunted house that leaves you feeling less than spooked and more than a little ripped off. The Japanese version, Ju-On, was a monstrous hit in its native country, and its director, Takashi Shimizu, was hired to helm the American version. |

- Stage: Have you ever returned home after being out of town for a while -- days, maybe weeks -- and felt as though the whole world had changed? You'd missed out on something, but of course you don't know what just yet. And everyone is different somehow, but you reason that perhaps it's all in your imagination. For Steph and Stewart, a pair of happily married honeymooners, it's reality. |

- JARON 'N' BRAVUS Yesterday I found myself listening, on my car radio, to someone from Nader's campaign. This person was attempting to refute the various criticisms we've all heard so many times. It made me feel as though someone was trying to work their well-chewed gum ever deeper into my ears, and reminded me all too thoroughly of why I think of myself as centrist. The idea that Kerry and Bush are merely two sides of the same bad coin is both ludicrous and all too potentially tragic.At the risk of making him permanently self-conscious, I'm going to quote Bravus again, because he put this, yesterday, so much more tidily than I've yet been able to put it: |
