men in skirts

Today I bought 2 pairs of shoes and saw Troy!
Usually I like seeing movie trailers. However before Troy they showed trailers for The Notebook, Day After Tomorrow, Constantine (isn’t Hellblazer a better name? Why not Hellblazer?!), and Catwoman. I also saw a teaser for Ocean’s Twelve, which was basically text on the screen, no footage [...]



some things just seem wrong

Low carb bread
That Catwoman movie
As if Courtney Love’s manga wasn’t enough, Linkin Park is doing an anime music video and also has a tokyopop deal (via Shawn Fumo)
but most of all…
Slash isn’t wearing his hat. Put the hat back on, Slash!



I heart usability testing

May 19th, 2004 at 7:01 pm » Comments (1)

Usability testing, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1) You don’t have to be fancy or expensive
Some people may think you need screen capture software and/or a video camera, but you can also get very valuable results with just a person, a computer, and a piece of paper to record their actions.
2) [...]



people are strange

Gwyneth Paltrow names her daughter Apple.
A woman finds a cello and thinks of turning it into a CD cabinet?! Who turns a perfectly good cello into a CD storage device? Even a crappy cello deserves a better fate than that.
Courtney Love’s comic book coming out soon. Tokyopop, I’m so confused yet I am sure [...]



how I use movabletype

May 18th, 2004 at 10:26 pm » Comments (2)

How do I use movabletype - I have this blog, and a blog for my sister at a subdomain, so two blogs and two authors. I have a dead test blog with two additional authors. Grand total is 3 blogs and 3 authors, although I’ve thought of setting up a couple of additional blogs for [...]



No More Refgrunt

Via LibrarianInBlack, the original RefGrunt is no more. It is pretty great that he managed a whole year documenting life on the reference desk. The posting at Refgrunt.com has slowed down recently, I wonder if it will pick up now or not.

Boston Common is rounding up accounts and photos of people getting married today.



knitting plans

I’m almost done or at the halfway point with a couple projects, a wrap made out of noro kureyon, and the big bad baby blanket project from Stitch n Bitch. I’ve noticed that I seem to need to have a couple projects going at once, just as I usually like to be reading 2 or [...]



Library Juice vs LISNews

May 14th, 2004 at 7:55 pm » Comments (0)

Good grief. Library Juice says “LISNews Veers Right.” I commented in the response thread after a link to the Library Juice article was posted on LISNews.
I’m very much a lefty, and I see no evidence of a “right wing librarian’s militia group” taking over LISNews. There are certainly some vocal conservative users posting comments [...]



comics haul

May 14th, 2004 at 6:50 pm » Comments (2)

It had been several weeks since I have been to my friendly neighborhood comic store (thank you IRS) so I had some back issues to pick up. Imagine my surprise when I got there to discover that back issues were half off and trades were 20% off. So this is what I got:
Ruroni Kenshin #4
Basara [...]
