"Hell Bent" - the title I've given this sculpture, is the culmination of an untold number of hours work. The sculpture depicts a modern Formula One car at speed, mid-turn, and indeed in the
wet.

Space Colony... Impossible? Two days ago I wrote in
my blog that a space colony is a stupid idea. I don't think this project can do much against
the growing threat of terrorism. I don't like one thing is this space colony: living really near a nuclear reactor with nowere to escape should something go wrong.

Another Hotmail Scam. Dated November 28th, this scam masquerades as a response to a request for a password. The HTML is convincing - convincing enough to fool a friend or relative who doesn't know better. It fooled me for a half a second. [More...]

life cycle of an internet meme: a timeline of the nike "sweatshop" e-mails jonah and i have updated the original sweatshop page at shey.net to also run a sidebar timeline noting the spread of the idea around the world, as tracked through links on the web and stories in conventional media. justin time, too, since adbusters, the nation, and abcnews all put up stories about the e-mails today. and we thought it had peaked.

hoursong: A streaming index of songs based on ideas and associations to a
different theme. Whether it's the song, the artist, the album, the lyrics, the video, whatever; the theme can be tied to anything, and everyone can submit their own song that relates. You can also create discussion and song threads on every submission.

eBlots presents you with a picture. You type what you think/feel/see, and are presented with what everyone else thought/felt/saw. You're identified by a random color, so it's anonymous, and you can even have your eblots mailed to you daily.

Superfluous and unnecessary. The :Cue Cat
reader has insinuated itself into the very fabric of the
Dallas Morning News, promising links to "expanded content" and "special promotions" by using this $50 future garage sale item. Is there a real need for bar code scanners in the average household? Or is :Cue Cat merely artificially creating a need for their services?

Time Out finally reveal their new direction with their London Shopping Guide, running off Oracle and Vignette. This is a bit of a cheek, but I was wondering what people thought of it. It's not really self-blogging because although I worked on the site, I had a fairly minor part to play, and I figure that "popular site gets substantial new direction and new technology" still counts as interesting and valid under Metafilter rules. Slap me down if I'm wrong.

Autobloggatio I had a good laugh not once but twice at the
bitch-slapping I underwent for the putative sin of blogging myself on Metafilter. I had a laugh even though I thought the intent was to ridicule, slag, and deride.
En tout cas, I blogged myself two different ways. On a couple of occasions, I pointed to pages I'd developed as a service to netters and bloggers
Xenoblogs (list of un-American blogs) and the
Buyer's Guide to Alternadomains. One makes no apologies for providing pages as a public service and making them known to the public.
The other case involved ruminations on love at first sight. Lacking a discussion mechanism at my blog and knowing that people would have knowledge on the topic I had no access to (breeders, for example), I posted on Metafilter. IMHO this reveals
an unserved need: Blogger et al. may make it possible to update your Weblog from any browser, but what we need is a way to automate discussion on topics blogged on individual pages.
As it stands, bloggers are like home-office workers who have to meet clients at cafés: They have to go out of house. Is it possible that, for blogging to work at a level beyond howling at the moon or a tree falling in the wilderness, we need automated tools for dialogue
at our own sites? Should Metafilter and (to a lesser degree) Webqueeries be the only collaborative Weblogs?
Clearly this would blur the distinction between blogs and mailing lists, but so what? Among mailing lists, blogs, Yahoo clubs, and instant messaging, we already have a fractured set of media of two-way and multi-way communication. A bit more fracturing ain't gonna hurt; the horse has long since bolted from the stable.
(Aside: Guestbooks work poorly in my experience. Even
Zeldman's.
Mine is a joke. In the immortal words of Bad Religion, there's no substance. A blog gives visitors
something to talk about beyond "How do you like my page?")

And speaking of frogs (see below) . . . here is a good entry for the 5k. They are still anonymous (until the judges are finished).
And don't go poking around those directories please -- not all the files are called index.html and there is not a directory for every number (so you'll mostly get 404s). Just a few more days. Shhh . . .

Everyone seems
to be
redesigning....and
now I've gone and done it too.
That's right folks, Just like everyone else I've gone and redesigned
my homepage. Any and all comments are appreciated, especially those on Mac
systems as I have no way of testing on that platform. And hey, if you were feeling
kind, you could generate me some traffic ;-)
Sorry about the blatant
self promotion, but hey, I did provide some links ;-)

I have seen the future of advertising, and it is
PP * blog. My ultra-top-secret advertising scheme is finally let out of the box. Okay, so it might not be the future of advertising, but it IS a sleezy scheme on my part to help get both me AND you more visibility in the weblog dept.

MetaTalk is now live. I've been talking about it for a while, and now it's here. The addition of it and the
Changelog does crowd up the menus a bit more, but a redesign is in the works so consider this a temporary inconvenience

Mattdabrowski.com Well, finally, after four years of apathy and general non-working-ness, my web site has gone up. Go see it. As my Italian great-grandmother would say, 'Is good for you.'
Today, I rant about the Israeli 'peace process' and snicker at some hippie peace-fest in the woods of Connecticut.
