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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

Those Canadians sure know their comedy.

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

I'm back at Coffee Rush, which currently occupies the "World's Best Coffee Shop" slot in my mind. I'm working on correspondence and listening to Fleetwood Mac on the shop sound system. (Not on my TiBook, which will never be polluted by that stuff...)

Dave says:

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.

Jodi, dear that she is, has been picking up my blogging slack lately over on . She's covered our visit to Paulo Soleri's Arcosanti, my mom's plans for an Ivy Family portal, as well as a site of her own, and she's reviewed X-Men 2, which we saw yesterday (hint- it rocked!). If posting seems slack here, for the latest!

Quick redesign is done over at http://www.davidsleigh.com/. It's darker, classier, and more artistic, and makes David happy. smile

Web, Graphic Design: #enclosure linkonly=" true"='true"' urlonly="true"/>" alt="VCFT Redesign" width="237" height="193" align="right" border="0"> I've been working with the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Tempe (VCFT) in Tempe, Arizona, on a new website. The old site was a very basic static HTML site, managed largely by a single staff member.

Jodi and I were given a SoniCare sonic toothbrush as an early birthday gift. Interesting, to receive dental care for your birthday... I actually really really like it.
