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

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.


1-18-08  new iPhone icon
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!)

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.


12-04-03  the web sucks, again
Ok, I need to apologize for the guestmap below. It's hosted off site by a very dubious company. They've always had pop-up ads, which didn't bother me too much since I don't use IE, and don't see them. But now they're being really obnoxious, so it's on the way out. I'll keep it linked for a little while longer. It's been fun—maybe I'll try to write my own.


3-24-03  pin the tail
I now have a guestmap here. Go leave a note and tell me where you're from. Come on, it'll make me happy.


12-19-02  i'm going back to cali, cali
photos from my cross country roadtrip are now up here. in celebration, i've switched all the timestamps to log as PST. take that, east coast!

I'll be turning 25 in a few days, which is entirely depressing. I'm growing up, and part of growing up means you have to start taking care of yourself. As I've previously noted, this means going to the dentist/doctor. So whereas before, when I got sick, I would rely on my youthful resilience and lie crying & prostrate on my bed until I got better, now, I go to the doctor and get scripts.

A few observations: 1. The medical care industry in the US is fucked. Each time I go to the doctor I spend less than 2 minutes with him, which apparently, is enough time to figure out what's wrong and send me on my way with instructions to buy things. 2. Penicillin is all but useless in the western world, thanks to jerk doctors like mine. 3. Medication is pretty goddamned expensive.

This may all be old hat to you, but as I mentioned, I am new to all this, and starting to think that holding out for 25 years wasn't such a mistake after all.
