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.

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.

And then I found the German version.
I think while the Germans are obsessed with cataloging every possible permutation of what are essentially two methods (the push & the lever pry), and necessarily include some very inefficient and flawed examples (e.g., the duct tape roll in the video where he spills on himself), the Scandinavian ethos seems to prefer elegance and pragmatism, AND provides good reason to always have another beer handy.
Also, I have no idea what I?m talking about.

Honestly, if this could happen to you, you know, a woman, what hope could I, a sad bachelor, possibly have?

I'm not sure how this happened but a beige pillowcase and three white cotton tees came out of the dryer a definite shade pinker (ugly pink, at that.) Nothing in the load; the closest thing was a light pink pair of underwear that's been washed many times before without incident. What the heck? Argh!

Also, that's not true. In college I had really short hair. For a few years after that it was shortish hair. And then about a year and a half ago I started growing my hair longer. It got really long 6 months ago and now it's back to being medium.
I wanted a mohawk, and not one of those pussy fauxhawks everyone's got. I need a year off on an island to experiment with growing my various hairs.

Dorkfest was fun, if a bit, uh, dorky. It's a strange and fun feeling driving up the coast and into town in 40 identical cars.
A little surprise was the MZ4 that the Roundel people brought with them for the photoshoot. Ever since the X-Coupé concept was unveiled, I've thrown up in my mouth a little each time I've seen photos of it. But now... well, it's certainly much less ugly in person. I got to sit in it for a bit and there are still lots of head-smack inducing details: the giant squishy steering wheel that makes me feel like I'm holding onto overstuffed sausages; the 3 inches of rear visibility; a rear-end that looks like it belongs on an Eagle Talon; and the truly nauseating polka-dot bumper reflectors. But... there's something oddly compelling about it. If only I had $60k... I'd have trouble picking between it and the Porsche.
