And hey, they're | playing with Very Secretary at the Fireside Bowl if you're | around Chicago Saturday. That'd be a mellow end to April | Fools. | | | +------------------------------[State of affairs: brilliant]-=-- | This Ed fellow has some pictures of donkey basketball. | | He also wrote Spong, which I'm going to use at work for | monitoring various dorky things.

Is that odd, or am I just paying attention | to normalcy? I never know outside my subjective sphere. | | +----------------------------/--/----------------------------=-- +--------------[What do taste buds taste like? - 03/30/2000]-=-- | Today's Ruben Bolling Super-Fun-Pak Comix takes a bunch of | political cartoonists down on their own ground. | | The history of the political cartoon is complex. Mr. | Bolling has an excellent point to make: many of today's | political cartoons have been reduced to bad punchlines | instead of political commentary. Is that the way the | politics they reflect actually work? Don't answer that. | | also The 19th Century in Political Cartoons - neat stuff. | | | +----------------------------/--/-[AP NEWSWIRE: Merrill, WI]-=-- | Thanks to Twernt, I know that there was one (and only one) | take to the film shot in my hometown: The Giant Spider Invasion of '75 | calculator | And it got MST3ked.

Now it's bloody. *badoom-ching* | | Cam linked to Headblade a while back: a razor designed for | shaving one's own head, and I might just need one. | | Their FAQ is hilarious. | | Q: My mother shaves her head.

However, the | browser textbox isn't functional enough. There are some | Java alternatives... | | Jext has syntax colorizing, XML customizable GUI, and | other acronyms. | | But then, JaVI! What would be better than having | in-browser Java-based vi? Not very much, let me tell you. | | If you are reading this via a search hit in the distant | future (oOooOOOo) and cannot find Javi anywhere, contact | me and I shall get you a copy. I was also unable to find | a tarball, but I was lucky enough to scam one from this | nice fellow. The whole thing isn't quite up to par, but | it would make a great project in the future. | | Also found GeekCheat's new vi reference shirt - need me | one of them.
