As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed—“Almost rather I had seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!”
      “What was it, Sir?” said Flask.
      “The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld and returned to their ports to tell of it.”

Moby-Dick, 1851

Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried.


4-21-08  Archives
Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved. Go check them out.

Woah, it's been 3 years since the last news update! Fuzzysquid now has a webclips icon for your iPhone! It'll automagically show up when you add FS to your home screen. Atom and RSS feeds have been available for a few years now, but I never made special mention of it.


1-14-05  LJ images
Since it seems to be popular, and it's been linked in a lot of different places besides here, I've decided to post the LJ Images page. At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!)


4-02-04  FURL
Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive. Not much commentary, relevance, or sequitur—but it's what's keeping this blog from turning into a meme dumpster.

How's this for a memento mori: the dead letter office--"The premise is simple: You are now dead. You just died. You don't know how it happened, you don't know what happens now. The only thing you know for certain is that your life is over... This is your opportunity to write one letter to the world."

I've been thinking about death a lot lately. I've always panicked at the thought of growing older, because I felt like I was losing time, and not doing all the things I've wanted to do. And recently, every time I get in my car, or get on a plane, I think about what would happen if we crashed and I died. And this whole idea of a noble death--what is this? I mean, there are undeniably better ways to go than others (say, cocaine overdose in your dressing room vs. unknowingly mixing chlorine and ammonia while trying to get that difficult spooge stain off of your grandma's vinyl covered couch). I always hear of greatly respected men dying in very mundane ways, and I can picture all of them at the end, whimpering, helpless against the inevitable.

I of course, plan to blast-off this mortal coil in a spectacular blaze of glory, and I'm taking as many of you with me as I can.
