Fuzzysquid career downloads about delicious photos	/ Main 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
	NEWS 3-17-09 No one reads this column 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. 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!) 4-02-04 FURL Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive.

(it's disconcerting when people don't change... or when they do) ah. just as well. i suppose you can't keep in touch with your past.

That can be the only explaination for lack of updates recently! wink. I don't blame him (for running away with the iPod, not the no-updates part.)

(expensive sure, but thankfully, my depression-fueled consumerism hasn't grown exponentially as i had previously predicted) first impressions: the thing is a scratch/fingerprint magnet. i've had it less than 24 hours, and already it's covered with tiny scuffs and scratches. it also came out of the box fully charged! too bad it didn't have any songs on it. oh, and it looks like 10 GB might not be as roomy as i thought... pictures of me grinning uncontrollably to follow.

Monday, August 19, 2002 moxy 8:53 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Go wash away those bad feelings of supporting Columbia Records by closing your eyes and listening to that record... made in heaven, indeed.... dannyboy 4:56 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment so i broke down and bought a cd today. it doesn't make me feel good to support columbia, but i found a copy of the seminal* Miles Davis record, Kind of Blue. and for $9! see, the real reason why people aren't buying music anymore isn't because of internet pirating, or even because of the vapid, uninspired cruft that's on the top 40. it's because i'd rather have $20, than something i may or may not be able to play in my computer. fuckers. anyway, the drummer on this album was quoted as saying it "must have been made in heaven", and I can't argue with that... probably the only time i'll ever use the term and not* mean "jizzed upon." Sunday, August 18, 2002 dannyboy 4:45 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment some more linguistic fun, including a list of the most beautiful (and not-so-beautiful) words in the english language. it's really startling how visceral my reaction is, to the "ugly" words.

It is one which has fascinated a number of artists, especially those who equate art with sickness...” “‘Dangerous wellness’, ‘morbid brilliance’, a deceptive euphoria with abysses beneath—this is the trap promised and threatened by excess, whether it be set by Nature, in the form of some intoxicating disorder, or by ourselves, in the form of some excitant addiction.” it makes sense to me then, that the language of neurology and neurosis would be so sympathetic to the language of art: theme and variation, nominal and divergent... sane and crazy.

Wednesday, August 14, 2002 moxy 11:50 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Does anyone else think that a 24 hour bookstore would be an awesome idea? Think about it: any time, day or night, there is a place that you can go to surround yourself with millions of said words. There is a numbing reassurance about it all; it seems to me like a very good thing.

So on earth a few million years ago you had all these primates vying for dominance. There's a balance, with no one species having a clear evolutionary advantage. Then all of a sudden, Homo Erectus starts spreading like crazy, displacing all the other primates. But why us, and not say, Neanderthal man? A lot of people believe it was because that is when we developed primitive language. But rather than spontaneous and sudden development after hundreds of thousands of mute years, I think aliens gave us language. They evaluated all the primate candidates and picked the one most capable of speech, and taught us. Several religious texts dealing with the creation of the world hint at this sort of thing ("In the beginning there was the Word"; the Sumerians believed that the world was "spoken into existence" by a prophet; etc). So rather than having aliens be our biological progenitors, I think they seeded us with the beginnings of real intelligence. I also believe that everyone on the planet once spoke the same master language, and there is some linguistic evidence to support this. And perhaps the Tower of Babel myth was an actual event; maybe the aliens left, or we rebelled and forced them out. Without a governing influence, we spread out and "forgot" the master tongue, with each locality perverting the original over thousands of years. Finally, I think there are two ways the story can end. Either the aliens were just nice guys, and are waiting for us to discover our master tongue before they welcome us to the rest of the galaxy, or they seeded our planet in order to have an adequately intelligent source of labor and are waiting to enslave us all. So if I were supreme potentate of the earth I'd direct all scientific research to linguistic studies and ray gun development.
