Another excellent issue of *spark-online is up.

Great Flash nav. Possibly the best I’ve seen. Via K10k.

Brainstorm: Cool name for a streaming mp3 station: Techno Trousers. No? I thought it was cute…

Okay, so I just posted a comment to the AI post, and mentioned Jude Law with a link to the IMDB, as I just did. And, did know you know that Ewan McGregor and Jude Law were roommates at one point? How fucked-up is that? Two of my favorite actors in some of my favorite films, and they were roommates. If you can pick out the reference in this posts headline, you get a nickel.

I also just noted that most of the posts on this page start with ‘Okay,’ or ‘So,’ or ‘OK.’ And this particular post starts out with ‘Okay, so.’ I’ll try to work on that, I promise.

Okay, so I don’t know how they did it, but if you try to just Control-click on a comping image and copy it to the clipboard at GettyOne, you can’t. Either Photoshop tells me ‘Could not copy clipboard contents because an unexpected end of file was found,’ or it simpyl doesn’t register that I tried to copy it in the first place. Basically, it forces you to Control-click and download the image to your hard drive, which you actually can do. Weird.

Okay, so it seems to me that it is nearly impossible for two people who are good at backrubs to be together. This excludes ‘backrub professionals’ (so if Jen were to marry another person with the same ‘crazy-o-sacral’ abilities, they would not count), but rather for normal, ‘backrub-enhanced’ people who tend to just be good at it. I myself have historically been one of these people, and I’ve dated a few others in my time, and it was always a point of agression: both people vehemently feel that they are good at it, it being a sense of pride in both individuals. When they get together, sparks fly. Just my experience. So now, with my successul marriage in mind, I find that my wife, who loves me dearly and whom I also love dearly, is quite terrible at backrubs. Jen had once offered to teach her how to do it semi-correctly but I declined, knowing that it would do no good. So now, I’m sitting here with a neck in terrible pain with a wife who wants to help, but seriously just can’t. *sigh*

Scott at Erasing notes of the Ford Excursion: It’s like what a Chevy Suburban must look like to a hobbit.

So no report yet from the Radiohead triplets… How was the show, guys?

Or, rather, how popular is your last name? Search and find out. Mine is number 14,666 out of 55,000. So is it a coincidence that my parents’ address contains the numer ‘4666?’ I think not. [Via Timothompson.com]

OSOpinion:

Where is an idiot-proof OS for the home user with a default GUI install and setup that asks only a few important, easy to understand questions of the owner?

It’s at CompUSA, in the back. It has a giant ‘X’ on the front.
