"60 Minutes" (1968) - IMDB
-This is the news show to which other news shows aspire, and none has ever even come close. This show has been on for 35 years because people trust it. They know that what they see and hear will be the unvarnished, unbiased truth; while a fatuous blowhard like Bill O'Reilly can call his show "The No-Spin Zone" when it is actually nothing BUT spin, viewers know that "60 Minutes" doesn't "spin" anything; it's not afraid to take on powerful people, institutions and corporations, and in fact has even raked its own network over the coals on more than one occasion. The show has a reputation for integrity that is unparalleled in the history of TV, and the fact that it has often elicited howls of protest from both the right and the left because of its coverage or investigations of issues or people "sacred" to those particular political philosophies is testimony to its effectiveness. This show is as good as it's possible to get.
-60 minutes is pretty good serial i guess.i liked it a lot i have watched it about 4 years,but they make it since 1968 and now is year 2005 it isn't finished.it's magnificent.

Junco Partner Says: Well, that’s the last time a president will attend that dinner.heehee. Can’t say I’ve ever seen such a violent, precise, and funny takedown of a powerful asshole since–what?–the Panama invasion. Steven Colbert, you are the Panama invasion in a can, full spectrum comedic dominance.
He's my hero, apotheosis everyday, because it looks to me like everything he does is from the heart. or how to say what I mean? real livelihood. his work is real. he's so active -WHCD, SNL, 60min (tonite~), a play, a book, and 4 shows a week of writing and full screen time-plus backflips- and it looks to me like the energy of real work, happy endeavor, a story of bliss followed with great success.
his apparent delight in it - after week off - "I've been saying this in the mirror all week: This is the Colbert Report!"

rw: Imagining a del.icio.us for people/identitites (3.d-longish):
The basic concept is that you’d use your computer or your mobile device to search for someone within a network of friends or some other community, click on their name, and have your browser zoom in to their location anywhere in the world. Maybe you can then open a communication link to them — voice, IM, SMS, whatever — or, if they happen to be cruising around Second Life or There.com at the moment, would let you drill down further to find them within that world and even launch the application so you could meet up with them there.
Services like Dodgeball {hmm ? se below} already let you do something like this locally and in text, but I’d love to see something that was global, graphic and virtual world-enabled. I pondered this the other day while looking in Google Earth at a few of the places I used to live. I wanted to find the house of an old friend in California, but I didn’t know where he lived. So I thought, What if I could just type his name into the search box and the app would zoom into either his house or his current location, depending on the preferences he’d set? How cool would that be?
This is a service you’d definitely want to be able to opt out of or turn off, but I think it could create some very powerful connections for those who cared to use it.
What you’d essentially be doing is creating an online profile that could be used to connect you to other people in a variety of online contexts. Depending on how much information you wanted to share with which groups, you might need several different profiles — for example, you might have one for Eve Online, not connected to your RL details, and one for everything else. The ability to tag other people’s profiles could also open up interesting possibilities.
I think this comes to my mind now because, with the profileration of social software sites, we’re beginning to move away from the current model, in which our presence online is primarily connected to and defined by a URL or email address. Increasingly, at sites such as MySpace and in other social networks, we’re representing ourselves as ourselves. In the future — and not too far off, I’d wager — our online presence will take the form of some kind of simple “identity entity,” if you will, a set of data that defines a particular profile. At the moment, we don’t have a good definition of what that data set will look like. We use email addresses and passwords to log into eCommerce sites, toon names and passwords to log into virtual worlds, email addresses and URLs to comment on blogs, other identifiers to go other places. A lot of people have been trying to solve this problem recently. The most high-profile effort is the Identity Metasystem being developed by Kim Cameron at Microsoft, but there are many more as well.

I concur, there isn't anything new there and certainly not an improvement. In my opinion it's a step in the wrong direction. Don't separate people [users] from tags - integrate them. The inbox is a great temporal list of everything I care about. Doesn't matter if it's a tag or a person. Give me better tools to handle a large inbox instead of just breaking it in two. Posted by: Steve ~temporal.
It seems so bullshitty to me to call my user subscriptions "my network" when they're just people who link to interesting things and I like to read what they've come up with. If I wanted to "network" with them, I could do that elsewhere. Posted by: Lisa
I think this makes things more complicated, not less. I now have to go to two different pages to see the links I want to see, not one. I can't see why adding the network feature had to remove some of the functionality of the inbox feature. It's also undone all the work I did with sorting my user groups.Posted by: siria ooh I sympathize with this: -it didn't migrate my carefully crafted user groups. Posted by: flynn

for:mcassimatis as tag puts mark in "links for you" (for me in this case). so, no, you don't have to have put the recipient in your network, can just type this tag. (if in network, this tag will show up as an option on full screen edit page. and, can temporarily add a user to yr network then easily remove by clicking x adjacent to their username, on yournetwork page. ) now question is, if I remove this tag, does it remove the mark from my "links for you" -- what's my guess? ~ better if not. if once 'sent', remains sent. otherwise what is under my "links for you" can disappear based on the sender's discretion. on the other hand, why shouldn't it be? just thinking of email as model, where once sent it is out of sender's hands, is basically now the property of the recipient.
huh. it did disappear from my "links for you" after I deleted the tag. ok, not a sending. more a showing.
hmm. jorn's rachel corrie mark 'for me' does not appear to be tagged for:mcassimatis. (appears not to have any tags)...?
Jorn, how are you sending these TO me?

So ... I have to go two different places now to see my tag subscriptions and my user subscriptions? Is that what this is? Posted by: Lisa Apr 27, 2006 11:06:48 PM
ohIsee. user subscriptions moved from inbox to network
whereas. tag subscriptions still viewed in inbox.
and subscriptions to user/tag?
maybe user subscriptions still in inbox just also in network? no...
[Your network replaces the user subscriptions functionality previously offered by the “inbox”. If you had any existing user subscriptions in your inbox we automatically moved them over to your network, so you haven’t lost any connections you already had.]
and to be sure... Learn more about using your network.
[If you are a user of the inbox, please note that your network now provides the user subscriptions functionality previously found in your inbox. Your user subscriptions have been automatically transferred over to your network and will continue to work as they did before. The inbox continues to be the place to manage your tag subscriptions.]

ahha- comment on dlcs blog: When did ye lot add the Flickr thumbnails? It's quite a nice wee bit of integration with your Yahoo! cohorts. It'd be cool to see it expanded to cope with bookmarks of Flickr galleries too. The context might be different on occasion but, when a Flickr image is being bookmarked, it may be a neat idea to pull in the tags from over there too. I think 75x75 is a wee bit too big, though, but I guess it's the smallest they produce at the moment. Posted by: Marcus Apr 28, 2006 12:49:54 AM -I like the size. -and whoa, you don't want any tags added to your marks that You did not yourself add, do you? I don't. (~cld possibly make up my mind not to care, to let go of tag conservation I've got going, always conserving conceptual! but still, I imagine this would go against the grain, right joshua)
30 ..you standing there talking about the show a little, the various characters in it, what had happened to them, what you thought would happen to them next. You'd be standing there talking to no one.
oh . talking about it a little: 'you know. but she didn't want to, so then.. I think maybe..'

no post about this change on the dlcs blog.
there is a new post, about new feature "your network" it's made out of people mm :
Today the “inbox” feature lets you subscribe to other users’ bookmarks, but most people don’t know about it and it’s not terribly easy to use in your everyday life. To make sharing easier, we’ve just released a new feature called “your network”. Your network replaces the user subscriptions functionality previously offered by the “inbox”. If you had any existing user subscriptions in your inbox we automatically moved them over to your network, so you haven’t lost any connections you already had.You can add other del.icio.us users to your network either by visiting their del.icio.us pages or from the your network page itself. Once someone is in your network, you can keep track of their latest saved public bookmarks. And when you save new bookmarks you can easily share them with people in your network just by clicking on their username. ---> and this shows up for them as links for you ?
wh I only just noticed, among options at upper left: your bookmarks your network inbox links for you post
nice that shows up even if you do not have any network...
I remember months ago, reading re someone who wanted to communicate with another dlsc user and said only way was to create a webpage for them to see (indicating by certain tag?) ~ I don't remember ~ why cldn't use notes, as this message I just found for me:

aw thanks.
keeps cheering me. unexpected communication /interaction. ~does it keep finding me fortuitously at moments when 'the internet' seems no longer so rich with interest -- of course really means everything seems no longer -- reflecting my lack of outgoing interest (outgoing - attachment - CATHEXIS ~ a hand reaching - the imageidea does resonate) -- the internet gives back what you look for, well literally, wasn't that a fundamental attraction? just type what you want to see, and: yield.

no post about this change on the dlcs blog.
there is a new post, about new feature "your network" it's made out of people mm :
Today the “inbox” feature lets you subscribe to other users’ bookmarks, but most people don’t know about it and it’s not terribly easy to use in your everyday life. To make sharing easier, we’ve just released a new feature called “your network”. Your network replaces the user subscriptions functionality previously offered by the “inbox”. If you had any existing user subscriptions in your inbox we automatically moved them over to your network, so you haven’t lost any connections you already had.You can add other del.icio.us users to your network either by visiting their del.icio.us pages or from the your network page itself. Once someone is in your network, you can keep track of their latest saved public bookmarks. And when you save new bookmarks you can easily share them with people in your network just by clicking on their username. ---> and this shows up for them as links for you ?
wh I only just noticed, among options at upper left: your bookmarks your network inbox links for you post
nice that shows up even if you do not have any network...
I remember months ago, reading re someone who wanted to communicate with another dlsc user and said only way was to create a webpage for them to see (indicating by certain tag?) ~ I don't remember ~ why cldn't use notes, as this message I just found for me:
RachelCorrie.jpg (JPEG Image, 150x202 pixels)
nice (missed you today!)
by jorn ... saved by 1 other person ... on april 22
[1 other person = me. user notes: nice (missed you today!) - jorn. book cover - mcassimatis.]
aw thanks.
keeps cheering me. unexpected communication /interaction. ~does it keep finding me fortuitously at moments when 'the internet' seems no longer so rich with interest -- of course really means everything seems no longer -- reflecting my lack of outgoing interest (outgoing - attachment - CATHEXIS ~ a hand reaching - the imageidea does resonate) -- the internet gives back what you look for, well literally, wasn't that a fundamental attraction? just type what you want to see, and: yield.
so books also, when interested, cathexis, reaching out, I will find much there. but even more so the web of course, bcs hardly finite.

Don't you take it too bad if you're feelin' unlovin'
if you're feelin unfeelin'
if you're feelin' alone Don't take it too bad
Cause it ain't you to blame, babe
Lord, it's just some kind of game made out of all of this living that we got left to do And if you go searchin' for rhyme or for reason then you won't have the time that it take just for talkin' about the places you've been, babe
about the places you've seen, babe
and how soft the time flies
past your window at night
And we just can't have that, girl
'cause it's a sad, lonesome, cold world and a man needs a woman just to stand by his side
and whisper sweet words in his ears about daydreams and roses and playthings and the sweetness of springtime and the sound of the rain

so shall we think Y. Mirandez "personal greenhorn" (review in post below) is Lipsyte himself?
and... -The characters in this book, some of whom, it seems, have written reviews of this book here on Amazon.com (including Dr. Stacy Ryson) are a lot of fun.
Brilliant, March 11, 2005 Reviewer: Stacy Ryson (NewJersey) - See all my reviews
This book reads like a novel-length interview with Humbert Humbert on NPR's "The Next Big Thing" (for which a more accurate title would be "The Next Big Nothing")--hardly a match made in heaven! Most people--one would hope!--eventually outgrow the main character's adolescent self-absorption. Why any reader--or for that matter, any author--would want to waste their time vicariously reliving such a pompously uninteresting stage of life for an entire novel is a mystery. What's no mystery is why this character was so unpopular in high school and throughout his life: he's a crashing bore. As this book illustrates all too well, a facility with words does not necessarily mean you have anything of interest to say--unless you happen to find self-important whining endlessly fascinating.
this does make me think Lipsyte is writing - and I love the "Brilliant" as title and the five stars along with the actual slam - but here's the neat trick: just below this review, posted one day earlier and with the more cohesive single star & review title of

so that's a funny trick, take an actual (or? PDJ is from NJ and only has written this 1 rvw on az - so is he a Lipsyte / fan creation also? the depths!) negative review and turn it into satire by repeating it with a character's name as author.
and I like that this Stacy Rysonhas also reviewed Trance : A novel by Christopher Sorrentino (as has Y. Martinez) : Say, like me, you're an oncologist with a thriving practice and a loving husband. Still, there's something missing from your life. It's called art. That's what's missing from your life. The art of literary art. Tragedy, comedy, pathos, bathos, the whole shebang. Okay, I took a lit gut at Rutgers and I may not know exactly what I'm talking about, but I do know this: art transcends. I can cut a man open and remove his pancreas, but I have no clue what he's thinking. Sorrentino does. He knows what people are thinking, and with his powerful writing he slings us (the reader, the doctor) over his shoulder and together we scale the ladder of storytelling glory. To call this a book about Patty Hearst is to call Crime and Punishment a book about crime, or punishment. 'Nuff said. Read, weep. Change your life. Find a lump. Call me.
mmhmm. pretty Lipsyte sounding.
and case in point about attentive diction - even when a (satirical) character uses mockable language -slings us- the mockery happens in the attention to actual meaning ~

Y. Mirandez "personal greenhorn" (Pronghorn, UT) - See all my reviews The last time I cornered Sam Lipsyte at a party he told me that his next book was going to be a biofictional novel about the First Director of Saudi Cinema, Hayfa Al-Mansour. It was going to be a feminist book, it was going to be an exotic book, it was going to be a book with lots of planes taking off and landing, which I personally love. Sam looked uncomfortable, and from his darting eyes I should have known he was lying just to get out of that corner. He had a title ready too. It was "State Television Has Guarded Us Against Cretins." I told him I loved it, he excused himself and went to the sink to wash his hands, and I was able to leave feeling as if I'd accomplished something for once. Now I find it was all a big lie, plus no one's inviting me to the same parties Sam Lipsyte's at. I'd just like five minutes to explain things to him.
nicely done!
nicely done!
Tracing the genealogy of Sam Lipsyte's 'Homeland' would lead you back eventually to Frederick Exley's 'A Fan's Notes.'The prototypical book concerning middle-aged substance abuse addicts too well-read for their own good; their literateness serving as a kind of gauntlet as they stumble through a world governed by their illiterate, successful, yet somehow more brutish, less sympathetic peerage. ..
I hear Lipsyte getting compared to a lot of other cynical contamporaries: Chuck Paulinuk, David Sedaris and others. The difference being that unlike many of these writers Lipyte loves, and is a master of, language. This is some of the most skillful, hilarious, and impressive writing to have come along since 'A Fan's Notes.' those of you that can't appreciate Lipsyte's dark wit, and his epic failure of a protagonist Lewis 'Teabag' Minor, well you can just go order yourself a copy of "Tuesdays with Morrie," or sit down with some Tony Robbins motivational tapes and some decaf coffee. Leave Lipsyte to the big boys. A more accurate comparison would be to Barry Hannah; the only other contemporary writer that comes to mind as possesing an equally masterful, hyperbolic and dark humor. -az: :J. Mayhew (real name) - See all my reviews
yes in The Accidental, first chapter in voice of Alhambra "Believe me. Everything is meant." ~ which sounds like me, and Ali Smith is more in my vein, writing style. but - as one tob judge said, every page I skipped sentences, paragraphs. I skipped whole pages, almost whole chapters. so ~ I don't exactly not believe that all the words are intended - but I was happy to disregard many of them.
whereas in Home Land, every time I paused over a word I found myself taking satisfaction with how it proved itself, always intelligently deployed, every word apt.
so I am more impressed with his writing.
pretty for sure, more honest. AS writing - so that, yes, everything is meant (not ~just ~loosely ~evocative).
and awfully funny and I enjoyed reading it. a lot.
I did not much have any fun reading The Accidental. I didn't mind. and I liked some of it distinctly. I rather liked Eve at the end taking an Amber role. as noted below I'd like to see a movie version.
anyway if I could choose to have read only one of these and never encountered the other, I would choose Home Land, and twice on Sunday. and you know, boo hiss to that librarian judge.

James Talley is that rarest of things these days, a true country singer. Not "new country," not "alt-country," but the real thing. He writes beautifully about real people and the problems of their everyday lives, and sings his songs in a voice that could belong to Willie Nelson's brother...

S6: Joanie - 27 I want Danielle to win, but I'd be happy if Joanie wins, too. I don't know, she reminds me of Kahlen, and I loved Kahlen. yep. funny down-to-earth girls, Danielle too - nice to have two likeable girls in one cycle, a fun friendship to watch.
Just tell me, who looks like a Top Model in this picture?
Aside from Mr. Jay.
Season 6 Speculation - 47 I think Joanie while being very vanilla looking may actually be white chocolate. She's funny, funky and can dance like she's busting it at the club.
46-Has anyone noticed the order of elimination this season has been consistently white then non-white? Using this as a guide, *I* think the order of elimination from now on will be: Sara, then Furonda, with Danielle, Jade & Joanie as bottom three, Jade eliminated. Joanie takes it.
...-if we assume that the winner cannot have a myspace huh, then Danielle wins.

twop re Boston Legal tonite (p188):
-I have not laughed so hard in a long, long time. Denny shooting his therapist in the court room was one of the funniest things that I have seen in a long time. The writers of 24 could learn something about how to shock an audience. I did not see that coming and proceeded to laugh for a good 10 minutes afterward.
Oh my god that was good. heck yes. I called rg just to say exactly this.
The kissing scene was destined to go that way but it was greatly appreciated. I loved the "Marine, lawyer, whole package" line. [again later: "the few the proud the brave, lawyer, whole package. I can get dates.] He forgot handsome but I guess guys would be less likely to toss that in about themselves. I also enjoyed everything being related to Brad in terms of military/homeland security terms. I can't believe that we are not going to see the two of them together again. yeah really likeable, Brad funny and I really enjoy Denise "better than a phobia-"
..."I am a black diamond kisser and I'm busy so can I just show you."
"ease up on the homeland security, okay? code yellow."
- - later: -it was a kissing demonstration. -we had sex. -I know that.
This show goes all the way, hits it every time.
I have not erased this episode. It is going to be my pick me up when I am having a bad day.
-hilariously breaks the fourth wall. [Shore to Chelise~] "You left for movies; I moved to Tuesdays..." was just perfect. They don't overstate it like many other shows would; they just throw those lines away so perfectly. And I wish Shelley Berman [the judge - great - "what kind of doctor are you?"] and James Spader could face off every week. Just listening to their jibber-jabber cracks me up.
-I fucking love this show.
I can't even pick out specific moments or lines. Just.. all of it. Perfect.

04/20 - Series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has opted not to renew her contract and will be leaving at the end of the season — and she's taking husband Dan with her. As I reported on Friday, the primary sticking point was apparently the length of Gilmore Girls' renewal. AS-P wanted a two-year pickup, a demand that Warner Bros. refused to meet since Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are only on board for one more year. [so how could?] Instead, the studio was ready to pay them just shy of $5 million for a one-year deal, an offer that was apparently good enough to refuse. According to a statement released by Warner Bros., "While we are disappointed that Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino have decided not to stay with the show next season, we are very confident that Dave Rosenthal, an experienced writer/producer with the show, will make the transition seamless moving into the seventh year of Gilmore Girls. We want to thank Amy for creating and nurturing this wonderful series for the past six years and giving us one of the most memorable mother/daughter relationships in television history."

[SpoilerFix.com] Gilmore Girls Spoilers (under general season 6 spoilers)
twop re tonite's:
-This was written by David Rosenthal. The only eppie all season that really moved plotlines and where everyone was up to snuff.
I'm going to love season 7.
-While this won't go down as one of my all-time favorite episodes of GG ever, it's one of the better eps of this otherwise bleak season. agreed. Some of the plotholes were filled in a little more; the storyline is finally starting to move along. Thank you, Mr. Rosenthal; you're givinng me hope for next season. Let's hope you can get a good director & a kick-ass writing staff to set this show back on track.
-and 'sherpa', 'hoyay' (colin & finn used the word?) shout-outs from the show to the twop boards?

It’s hard to believe it’s been nineteen years since Shannon’s "Let The Music Play" hit the airwaves in the summer of 1984. The first in a string of Shannon’s hits of the mid-late 1980s, "Let The Music Play" shot to #1 on the Dance and R&B charts, and to #8 on the Pop chart.
Amazon.com: Let The Music Play: Music
Hearing "Let The Music Play" for the first time in 1984 was instantly hypnotizing and intoxicating at the same time. The "scratch" and extreme "bounce" of this track was way before its time and certainly outmatched any catchy dance tune of its day.
"Give Me Tonight" could be the fraternal twin of "Let The Music Play".

Alex Clark reviews The Accidental Metaphors involving film, images and light are common; in a virtuoso fragment, Amber retells her own life through the films of her childhood ("They didn't know I was a girl until I fainted and they unbuttoned my jockey shirt. We stopped the rail disaster by waving our petticoats at the train; my father was innocent in prison, my mother made ends meet… I used butter in Paris. I had a farm in Africa").
I'd like to see this novel made into a film. might prefer it as. and the end, with Eve taking on a role like Amber's, as the stranger, seemed in the reading (having skipped to that end after reading first third) especially like a movie ending though perhaps an obvious one of a certain sort.
Katie Owen reviews The Accidental In ways far subtler and more effective than Ian McEwan in his recent novel Saturday, Smith deals with middle-class complacency in the face of the Iraq War. How are we to engage with political events from which we feel so disassociated?
I am liking the Telegraph reviews. I like that they have more than one writer review a book. (2 here, posted within day of each other. 3 below of Ishiguro.)

Pier Paolo Pasolini's Teorema (based on his novel of the same title). In that film, a beautiful and fantastically charismatic young man arrives out of nowhere to disrupt and transform the lives of a bourgeois family and their maid. Of the five people seduced by the stranger (the role played by Stamp), only the maid is not destroyed.

It’s too soon, for instance, for you to write, “The other side of the lake was hidden in the fucking mist.” That will come later. You are setting your scene. You don’t want to make a point as yet.’”

A young man comes to town. He is reasonably good looking, has a little money in his pocket. He finds it easy to talk to women.
And he sits down to spin code.
And what code it is. Flawless, artistic, elegant, bug free. The user interface so perfectly mimics a users' thought process that the people he shows it to at the Programmer's Cafe hardly notice that there is a user interface. It's a brilliant piece of work.
The Development Abstraction Layer By Joel Spolsky Tuesday, April 11, 2006
...Why did he fail? He's pretty sure he knows. "Marketing," he says. Like many young technicians, he is apt to say things like, "Microsoft has worse products but better marketing."
Which gets me to the most important point of this essay:Your first priority as the manager of a software team is building the development abstraction layer.
Most new software managers miss this point. They keep thinking of the traditional, command-hierarchy system of management that they learned from Hollywood movies.
Some businesses actually run this way. You can always tell when you are dealing with such a business, because the person you are talking to is doing something infuriating and senseless, and they know it, and they might even care, but there's nothing they can do about it. It's the airline that loses a million mile customer forever because they refuse to change his non-refundable ticket so he can fly home for a family emergency. It's the ISP whose service is down more often than it's up, and when you cancel your account, they keep billing you, and billing you, and billing you, but when you call to complain, you have to call a toll number and wait on hold for an hour, and then they still refuse to refund you, until you start a blog about how badly they suck.
A programmer is most productive with a quiet private office, a great computer, unlimited beverages, an ambient temperature between 68 and 72 degrees (F), no glare on the screen, a chair that's so comfortable you don't feel it, an administrator that brings them their mail and orders manuals and books, a system administrator who makes the Internet as available as oxygen, a tester to find the bugs they just can't see, a graphic designer to make their screens beautiful, a team of marketing people to make the masses want their products, a team of sales people to make sure the masses can get these products, some patient tech support saints who help customers get the product working and help the programmers understand what problems are generating the tech support calls, and about a dozen other support and administrative functions which, in a typical company, add up to about 80% of the payroll. It is not a coincidence that the Roman army had a ratio of four servants for every soldier. This was not decadence. huh.well but it is somehow upsetting to me, what aspect of the world (or civilization?) does it [= INFRASTRUCTURE] accomodate? Modern armies probably run 7:1.
Nobody expects Dolly Parton to know how to plug in a microphone. There's an incredible infrastructure of managers, musicians, recording technicians, record companies, roadies, hairdressers, and publicists behind her who exist ~to create the abstraction that when she sings, that's all it takes for millions of people to hear her song ~ eh am not sure. When you're listening to her on your iPod, there's a huge infrastructure that makes that possible, but the very best thing that infrastructure can do is disappear completely. ~but I like transparency?
Think of your development abstraction layer as a big, beautiful yacht with insanely powerful motors. It's impeccably maintained. Gourmet meals are served like clockwork. The staterooms have twice-daily maid service. The navigation maps are always up to date. The GPS and the radar always work and if they break there's a spare below deck. Standing on the bridge, you have programmers who really only think about speed, direction, and whether to have Tuna or Salmon for lunch. Meanwhile a large team of professionals in starched white uniforms tiptoes around quietly below deck, keeping everything running, filling the gas tanks, scraping off barnacles, ironing the napkins for lunch. The support staff knows what to do but they take their cues from a salty old fart who nods ever so slightly in certain directions to coordinate the whole symphony so that the programmers can abstract away everything about the yacht except speed, direction, and what they want for lunch.
Microsoft does such a good job at creating this abstraction that Microsoft alumni have a notoriously hard time starting companies. They simply can't believe how much went on below decks and they have no idea how to reproduce it.

but I dont want to get over you .. ??
ah - Magnetic Fields, 69 Love Songs.
..and just smile all night at somebody new,
somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do if I wanted to, but I don't
want to get over you cause I don't want to get over love.
or I could make a career of being blue--I could dress
in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink
vermouth like I was 17 that would be a scream but I
don't want to get over you.

comments on infogami at reddit :
-Infogami seems subtly different from a wiki. I think it is more like Backpack. Perhaps somewhere in between a wiki and Backpack. With a little work, this would be perfect for creating and managing personal web sites. I mean web sites for typical users, not web geeks. I'm not sure if markdown is simple enough for that market, but it is a good start.
-And people would use this instead of MySpace or [insert favorite blog software here], why?
-an elegant union of the unstructured text with revision saving of a wiki and the dated syndicated content of a blog? It could be huge.Of course, because the ideas are not particularly new, it'll be all in the implementation.
tough crowd:
-It's nice to have a new idea too, especially when you say stuff about how your thing is gonna do for the web what the Mac did for the personal computer. If there was any evidence of that kind of thing to be smelled anywhere, I think you'd find a little more willingness to wait and see on the execution.
-The trouble with Infogami is that it doesn't have a "big idea". The Mac's "big idea" was GUI [Graphical User Interface] for the masses. Infogami needs some core feature that made people think "Wow. That makes creating a site an order of magntiude easier than anything before." The Mac was a revolution - Infogami is just a me-too wiki service.
AaronSw 3 points 1 month ago: We already have one, it's just not exposed yet.
-Infogami is just an in-place CSM for wiki/blog sites. I'm guessing the pinnacle will be a graphical (drag-and-drop) interface for modifying page layouts. [note- CMS stands for Content Management System a generic name for a web application used for managing websites and web content]
-if infogami gets on Digg and del.icio.us/popular soon then that's the end, people who read those feeds will check it out, will find out that it's a zero feature wiki, will go away and not come back or pay attention when it gets mentioned in those places again. And why should they? It'll just be "infogami now can do what xxx cPanel feature does" or whatever, who cares? Certainly no one outside of the demographic of people who read [redditDiggdel.icio.us/popular], which is why it will never get publicity beyond that, and why initial publicity there is the kind you can least afford to waste. Maybe Slashdot will hold off until infogami supports viewing site logs, and it'll get some bounce from that.
-I wish they could explain what it is and why I want to use it. I signed up out of curiosity and it looks like WriteBoard.
-hat exactly is infogami? and if it isn't done yet, can it morph into something completely radically life-altering? hmmm.. i wonder. congrats to aaron and others involved.

delicious - seems to have fixed the in-line editing so that full note space is preserved.
but! still changing to 'just posted' and moving to top of my bookmarks when I edit one
eg all my infogami- just changed to tag 'web' - and now the ones originally marked on 4/9 will show 4/22 as date posted
also all the 2nd life pages I added tag 'virtual' and that changed date
bah o well maybe I'll decide not to care prevervation its all the same context orgigins let go
appears - just tested - that if I go to full screen edit, then changes do not affect original date.

The most rewarding part of 'Uptown Girls' was how tender the film is. qualities that make it rise above its own conventional nature - actually has an emotional depth to its characters that wouldn't occur under normal circumstances - stars Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning, two wonderful actresses that dazzle the screen with their very presence.You walk out of the theater fond of the characters and rooting them on at the end, regardless of the film's parallels to so many others in the genre. Uptown Girls isn't a great movie, but it is surprisingly likable, if not lovable. -imdb comment by Author: ilovedolby from New York State
Brittany Murphy ah she was Tai in Clueless (red hair?). and Daisy (w/ dark hair) in Girl Intr. Daisy who eats chickesn, hides carcasses under the bed. whose father gets her a house near the airport with a little sign 'if you lived here you'd be home now.' also the sweet bf Fay in Riding in Cars with Boys. so~ non-glamgirl roles. and rg- she does Luanne's voice on King of the Hill, right, not Bobby's.
watching Uptown Girls, I think Britanny Murphy's good. she's really very funny. and convincing in the sad scenes.

In truth, I am not outside the desire yet,
but imagine that it is like the time I was swimming laps
in Ventura, and a boy left his lane, dove to the floor of the pool,
and began swimming underneath me, slowly rising until his back
brushed my chest. Still swimming, my hands cutting through
the water around him, I stared down at the water-pale body
miming my own, and he turned his head upward toward mine
and grinned. We swam this way to the wall, turned, and kicked off
into different directions. There is nothing about your body
I miss, and yet staring down into the wavering water, I cannot think
of anything but its appearance, the finer fluency of its absence.

ah Boston Legal. dear Alan, offering to change schedule so can back up Hands in first trial.
and when Hands freaks out, Alan: I'd like a recess to confer with counsel.
Judge: No kidding.
this judge is the best I've seen on television.
and I like how he was walking around during the initial hearing.
185 --First of all, could I love the "standing" judge more? And Hands' little freak-out towards him? Hilarious. I'm all about the Hands...he's the best thing to happen to the show this season. I'd be signing him up stat as a regular...and he brings out the best in Alan.
--Howard Hesseman as the judge, banging his water bottle down in place of the gavel and his reaction to Alan saying he needed to confer with co-counsel-"No kidding?" Heh. The small roles on this show are always filled by great actors.
--Yeah! Howard Hesseman! More work for "WKRP" alumni!
ah sweet, I'm glad Shirley didn't put him down--
Denny- does this mean you're back on the market?
Shirley- as far as you're concerned, Denny, I'm always on the market.
-see, that's how you get us men. we know we're not good enough for Shirley Schmidt. but just the possibility is enough to sustain us.
-you are a sweet, sweet man. ...and I have something else to sustain you. [leans in, whispers: Denny Crane.]
then Denny with Alan, telling him that--
-no matter how difficult your day, the ethical complexities, you always get to choose what you have for lunch.
A- daily, I am amazed at your ability to just live.
D- 's either that or die.

The question is ill-formed (51%) Didn't work for me (14%) It works in mysterious ways (14%) Never tried it (11%) It works well for me (6%) Still hoping it will work (1%)
rw poll: Do leaps-of-faith work, in your experience?
I hadn't thought this qstn ill-formed but I love that's an option, that's so often my trouble eg most recently with quick taking of quick (60qstn) Myers Briggs. You often contemplate the complexities of the world. ill-formed! ill-formed!

I was just giddy over the Ric Ocasek thing. I loved that Stephen had The J. Geils Band in the box of things waiting to be put on notice.

Fast. It's not for everyone.
...the commercial with turtles saying they like slow, and therefore they like dsl, because it is so much slower than comcast?Baboyap: yep
-With cable, you download photos or music and it's right there. Who needs that? Where's the fire?
-I dont smell anything.
heehee.: I like the way the turtles talk.plus I am kind of like that. I get used to making do. reading a book while pages download or whatever. so that I almost might not want it to be faster... a person gets used to waiting. fills the waiting with something else. so it's a habit. and then if you don't have to wait anymore? requires adjustment.

There are the just-married Nic and Angelo, the seemingly happily married Dave and Deena and the newly-engaged Marjorie and Adam.

p3 Overall, I liked this enough to give it another chance. It didn't blow my mind or anything, but it was good enough that I didn't feel like it was actively insulting my intelligence either, and sometimes that's all you really need from this kind of show. If they go in the right direction with it and try not to give in to cliche too much, it could fill the easy listening slot in my viewing habits. Right now I don't have a show that's just about people doing relatively normal people things. I'm open to something that doesn't involve crime solving, or evil robots, or wacky shenanigans.
p4 I've yet to see a really well-written female object of affection who isn't a total Mary Sue (?); so far Marjorie ranks above Marissa Cooper and Lana Lang (high standards, I know), but we'll see. I'm glad that Brian and Marjorie got a lot out in the open right away -- I feared that the series was going to be about Brian harboring his secret crush interminably. right, this was my thought.
p5 I know the pining over the best friend's girl is so cliche, but I'm happy they had him say something about it right away versus drawing it out half a year before she finds out.
-I felt an awful lot happened in one episode...I'm just not sure yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
p 9 --No one seems believable. I love the awesome homes they miraculously paid for with the jobs they never seem to have to go to. Everyone is ridiculously good looking and well dressed.--See, this is the kind of commentary that I don't understand. Almost EVERYONE on television is ridiculously good looking. Unless it's a show actually set in the workplace people don't usually go to work and if they do there's very little actual work being done. If I wanted to see average people doing average things living average lives - I'd start interacting more with my coworkers. To me it's like saying "I didn't like the show because it was broadcast inside a little box that sits in my living room."
