Monkinetic Weblog

Well I used to try and make sure I'd link to folks who were linking to me (according to Technorati), and I've totally fallen down on the job. Mostly it's because I'm lazy, but also because lately I've only been getting links from the usual suspects (Seth, Bill, Greg - hi guys!) whom I link to fairly regularly.

Thanks to Weird Al, I'm in my happy place, listening to Al doing the Backstreet Boys singing about EBay, Eminem rhyming about TV, and Avril Levine crooning over cheese pizza, kissing cousins, and roller coasters...

O'Reilly's Derrick Story interviews Brent Simmons.

Hm, ok, this is the second try. I added the redirect when posting a new thread trick to this form, so hopefully after posting it will return to the comments page.

I wanna be like Brent. All I need now is time and talent. smile

Dave has some sort of weblog search running on Scripting News that uses Google.

I've made some changes to the site here - I've had feedback from some people that the discussion group view was a bit intimidating, so I've implemented a Radio-comments style comments interface.

The Pope recently beatified Marco D'Aviano, a 17th century monk who gave the world cappuccino. W00t!

The Stephen Chow Hong Kong action-comedy Shaolin Soccer looks absolutely hysterical. Coming to the states in August. Whee! "When you can kick an egg without breaking it, you will be ready to join the team!"

Whimper. Will someone please Reload my brain? I think it broke. Wow.

Jodi picked up a yummy Gorgonzola/Pear Pizza at Trader Joe's. Yay!

Michael Clarke posted (it's an old post, but I just found his weblog) [some mildly tortured self-analytical thoughts](http://llareggolb.blogspot.com/2003_04_01_llareggolb_archive.htmlNone[#200208624](http://monkinetic.blog/tag/200208624)) about being a PR flack and what happens when PR and Blogging collide...

Jodi and I now have tickets to the movie of the year. Yay!!

Heh. New blog to read: I Love Me, vol. I. Pointed out to me by Bill, who just got his first non-Google, non-Monkinetic referral from them. smile.

Interesting discussion going on about RSS. Yes, again. Here's Ben Trott talking about a profile for RSS specifically for weblogs. The only thing he includes that I wouldn't is trackback as a requirement.

Nate is building a robot out of LEGO and is documenting the process. His writing style is really clever, IMO.

Those Canadians sure know their comedy.

Dave Hyatt, beloved of Safari-using geeks everywhere, has had his two blogs redesigned. Very nice!!

I got to talk to Mo, owner of Coffee Rush, today. He and his brother Yanni (no idea if I'm spelling that right - they're Jordanian) have been running Coffee Rush for a year now, and evidently started planning for it 5 years ago.
