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.

You're letting mass media control your dreams. The world has always been fucked up.



 

Are you suggesting that things weren't better 8 years ago? Because that's categorically and demonstrably untrue. You can pick practically any metric.

This is why the people who continue to say that voting doesn't matter because politicians are all the same are among those I want to see held responsible for the kimchee we're currently knee-deep in.



 

I'll be over in S. Korea in a few days. Wish me luck that nothing bad happens.



 

"Flying was pleasant!"

No kidding. I used to love flying. I looked forward to airplane travel. These days, with slashed-budget airlines, insanely random security restrictions, and long lines, I dread the thought of having to fly anywhere. My last four vacations have been road trips, and until I have exhausted all possible driving destinations, they will continue to me.



 

 
Well that's just fucking great. I really miss the late 90's. Everything that's happened since has been like a bad dream.

I know it's human nature to idealize the past, but fuck, do you guys remember what it was like back then? There was nothing wrong with anything and things were only going to get better. Our biggest concern was Y2K, and who got their dick sucked in the oval office. Uhm, what?

No pointless wars, and terrorism was marginalized and robbed of any popular influence. Flying was pleasant! People around the world were actually starting to like us. We believed in science and gay people and had the best economy in history. I mean, a budget surplus, for chrissakes? Guah? I've wished so many times in the last few years that I believed in a higher power, or some kind of cosmic justice—because I demand that the people who have made today's world possible pay dearly for what they've done.

My fear is that instead, we all will.
