There’s a twitter blacklist!!! A simple ratio of follow:followers determines who gets put up on it. It now includes sockPuppet/pointer accounts that rely on variations of a root name.
I updated the static page ‘about’, on this day April 24 2008
I am also interested in getting various intermediate translations of the Middle English ‘Gawain and the Green Knight’
Finished Kite Runner and loved it. Was anyone else fixated on kites when they were young?
Reading some Newnes: Embedded Hardware text, which turns out to be a mixture of review and helpful information.
Going to keep twittering in the 3rd person. It’s how it was intended to be used! 
don’t understand people upset with flickr allowing video.
because I take videos and movies interchangeably on my Fuji s9600 digicam. In many cases it makes sense and tells the story when you upload pics and movies in chronological batches.
so much work though, over 10000 digital photos, probably 1/2 that in negatives, and boxes and boxes of tapes
any site that allows members to publish all their different media pieces (sound, still, video & various text) is going to get my interest. Don’t want to host high bandwidth myself, but I will if I have to…
Tourist Mariella Bogus quoted in Adrian Short’s article on recent (4/08) Westminster City Council actions:
I paid £2.99 in good faith for a ‘Leicester Square’ fridge magnet from a street vendor, but it wasn’t until I got it home that I noticed that the font was wrong and the proportions slightly out of whack. Whatever the font’s meant to be it’s not sodding Arial and while I can’t afford a Pantone swatch book that red doesn’t look like the proper Westminster red either.
I emailed the council’s trading standards department who were very sympathetic but said that there was nothing they could do. Thank goodness that’s all changing now and people like me will get the protection we deserve from these unscrupulous hawkers. Now I feel that I can go back to London and shop safely again.
I read this post about the London street signage being copyrighted — and the excerpted letter, which I thought *MUST* be a fake — but after doing some link searching I find out it is probably, perhaps, actually a real quote (even though its got a nebbish and otaku quality that is unreal to me) .
And I realized I love boingboing because I read it the way I used to read Borges when I was young. I follow references towards a source, perhaps never reaching it.
When I was a teen I read Borges with a notebook to follow up on the persistent real references throughout his unique fiction. Authors, philosophers, myths, and untranslated language all got put into my notes to follow up later in used bookstores and libraries.
More unconsciously, I also love to hear music riffing back on influences, references and credits.
More on this and a conclusion later..
His snoring was like a shovel in my brain, it kept digging until the job was done.
By the time I woke up, I had worked it all out. There was no amanuenses, it was complete.
moving as the drumbeat, i moved in the dream.
