‘President Bush said the institute of marriage shouldn’t be defined “by a few activist judges."‘
Yeah, well, some people think that the position of President shouldn't be decided by a few activist judges either…
The idea from the photolog came from this helpful site. It’s not completely finished yet, as some of the styling on the individual entries isn’t quite right, but I think it’s okay for the moment. It’s currently set up to display a maximum of seven photos on the main page before shuffling the last one off to parts unknown (there will be a proper index page for all the photos eventually). I’m using a mix of AppleScript and string for publishing; select the picture in iPhoto, then click on the script in NetNewsWire. The AppleScript sends the picture and the thumbnail to the server and constructs the basic HTML for the new blog entry. Exciting stuff.
Oh, and if you're using a fancy newsreader to read this, you can subscribe to the photolog's individual feed (RSS 2.0 at the moment).
I would promise less boring stuff tomorrow, but I'm heading off to London for the STAND meeting, so there's a good chance tomorrow will be full of talk of identity cards. You might get some new pictures, though.
Hmm. Have a song as recompense for making it this far (contains Wilco).
This book is only seven years old, yet half the pages are loose and it looks as if it will fall apart completely if you give it a harsh stare. And the inside is covered with pencil notes, describing all the different meanings of "I will show you fear in a handful of dust." One careful owner?
This is everywhere at the moment, but I feel that it should be seen by as many people as possible, so by posting it here, I’ll add, oooh, one or two to that total.
(do you like my new photolog thingy?)
It’s Novelty Song Day today. Okay, I may have made that up, I just needed an excuse to put this song up:
Scala On The Rocks — Creep
Because every song sounds better when it's covered by choir-girls, especially when it has swearing for juvenile giggles. Although you do run the risk of ending up with a song that sounds like St. Winifred's School Choir singing "Grandma" (for all Americans - it's exactly as sickly-sweet as it sounds). However, this cover manages to sound rather menacing in parts, so I thought I'd share it with you.
Roy Vedas — Fragments of Life (Latin Version)
Ah, the vocoder. Who knew that one day it would breathe new life into Cher's career? We can thank Homer Dudley for that, although it also helped to encrypt phone calls between FDR and Churchill during WWII, so I suppose "Believe" was an acceptable sacrifice for the defeat of Nazi Germany. Mostly. Anyway, from 1998! The world of yesteryear and the world of tomorrow combine to create a sonic masterpiece that troubled the chart for all of one week!
Next week! Obscure tracks from an album that never existed, trapped in a world it never made!
