Making up for lost time

Haven't had much time to blog lately, but in the interest of time, here's a quick update on what's going on in my version of the world:

A) Politics

The president seems to think nuclear proliferation is a good policy given the fact that we're too overstretched to attack Iran. He has the brains of a domino.

B) Love

[Morning Throb censored this post]

C) Work

Cingular Video was released into the wild. My cronies and I had a lot to do with it. I'm proud of this and am aggressively dancing in the turbulence of this bullet.

One of the cool things that happened was this: a document I created that we used to internally keep track of things ended up being structured well enough that a developer used it as the core of a secondary monitoring system. Made my day. I know this may sound like nonsense to most of you, but really, stuff like this makes it feel like I'm building a blossoming sponge, which isn't as gross as it sounds.

D) Movies

Apparently there's nothing interesting out right now. A Scanner Darkly isn't coming out until July. Bleh. Do me a favor and let me know if you know of something delicious that's out now or coming soon. I need me some passive entertainment loving and I still can't commit to television.

I think the Professor's short film is coming to SIFF soon, I'll let you know.

E) Other Entertainment

Going to see the Degenerate Art Ensemble on Saturday night. All other social plans are largely irrelevant. This may be contributing to (B).

I guess Mogwai is coming to town soon, should be cool.

F) MetaThrob

I'm changing my link policy: clicks here don't open in new windows anymore. It's too much work and it feels like I'm being a jerk to folks who don't already carefully manually override such behavior by using decent browsers.

I'm thinking of making a secret offensive Jello Biafra + porn blog of some kind that my mom doesn't know about, but I don't know how to do this anonymously without it costing me money.

G) MySpace

I've decided to cross the line and customize the stylesheet for my neglected MySpace page, bringing me 2% into line with the hippest 16 year olds in the world and fully disaligning myself with an editorial I heard on the radio recently which claimed that such customization called you out as Gen Z.

This hasn't happened yet, I just have a rainy day plan. And I'm not giving you a link if you don't have it already, there's nothing interesting to see there yet anyway. I'm going to compose a piece of plays-automatically music specifically for that space. Maybe when that happens I'll tie the world together.

H) Will start making lists with numbers like the rest of the world.

Will start making lists with numbers like the rest of the world.

Heh. Just use <ol> instead! I can't remember the last time I actually wrote the item numbers in a list. Even Word can autonumber lists. Mind you, it tends to do this, even when you don't want it to.

By using <ol>, you can change your list markers whenever you feel like it using CSS. I use Greek letters - I wonder if you can use other alphabets?

Harrumph! Am I a secret, or just not that exciting?

Do you really think I want my friends to know I'm chasing a girl with the handle "Mushy?"

Matt - I think you can use the "type" attribute directly in the "ol" tag as well. I usually use lists, didn't this time because I'm lazy.
