0-day photos are back, including an especially interesting one of Josh with a nice backlight, and a strange pink photo.

Oh No
It looks like Kymberlie and Christine have both been hacked, I only hope that the crackers didn’t do anything bad to their files and that it was a simple vulnerability and not one in Movable Type or something. Calling now… These guys (girls?) are so cool they did the hack announcement in FrontPage. Now that’s l33t.
Red Button Meeting
Those of you who know what the Red Button is, and those who are curious, should come to today’s meeting of the Red Button Fan Club at Tropioca at 12:30. The Creator of the button will be in attendance.
Summer Cleaning
Trying out something a little different. Comments welcome.
All Done
Free at last, free at last. I took my last final and now I am done with school for at least a couple of months. Now it’s time to dive back into projects I have been neglecting due to school. I have been very much looking forward to this summer.
A Hoax Risk
A Flight Risk, blog of a “twentysomething” “international fugitive.” A good read if nothing else. Hat tip: Wired. Is it just me or does it seem like all the best stuff at Wired comes from Leander Kahney? Incidentally, he’s the author who used one of my photos in a Wired story a few months ago. I’m still giddy about that.
Another Brand Spanking New Blog
It’s not Sunday anymore, but if you’ve still got nothing to do you should know that idle hands are the devil’s workshop, so by visiting idly.org, the new home of Adam, you’ll be doing a good thing. It seems that splitting blogs into public and personal is all the rage these days; I know Josh has one coming soon and I’ve been considering spinning something off PhotoMatt for a while. Oh just a side note, both of Adam’s domains are now with Spyder Hosting and rumor has it he’s enjoying it.
Waiting For Fries to Catch Up
As I write this I am eating “Cool Guacamole” chips. Yes, chips flavored with guacamole. This is not the first time I’ve encountered this, as I had some tostada chips that were almost just like this before. Does anyone else find this trend of rolling common condiments into what they’re used with disturbing? Before we know it we’ll have ketchup-flavored French freedom fries, milk-flavored cookies, and, God forbid, pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly. Oh wait…
So Sweet. So Spastic.
I’m proud to say that Julie is up and running. After Sarah and Becca, Julie was next in line to be rescued from LiveJournal but the incredible lack of time in the last month prevented me from finishing anything. Anyway her new blog is now up, and it already has some great entries and poetry. Sweetspastic!
Author, Designer, Troublemaker, Person, Musician
If you’re having a lazy Sunday I would highly recommend you go check out the two songs Derek has posted. I have to admit that before I clicked on the first one, my expectations were low. Not as any sort of statement on the musicianship of other web music I’ve heard before, but just that I am not a big fan of a genre sometimes described as urban acoustic pop, or guitar/vocal folk music. But something about Derek’s music really struck me, especially the lyrics on the first one. Enjoy.
Danger Tom and Jerry
According to a dilalog box that just popped up, the batteries in my mouse are dangerously low. Yes, my friends, they could go any second. It’s just a matter of time. I truly hope that I can click the submit button on this post before it’s too late.
But really, sometimes I think error message writers have an overly high opinion of their task’s importance. I guess it puts things in perspective though.
Thought of the Day
If only teachers graded like people on eBay rated. “A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++”
Acrobot Favelet
You can now sumbit text to Acrobot with a click of a favelet. The Amazing Ian is doing great things over there, though the tool does have a ways to come. I’m hoping he’ll let me peek at the source so perhaps I can use parts of their approach to tidy up my PHP acronym function.
Chicken Little
Vote It
You know you’re bored anyway, so go vote for PhotoMatt.net on Blizg which I used to not be crazy about but has me ranked consistently in the top 15 for a while now so I guess I can’t complain. Just click the plus sign above and right of the title and I’ll let you have an island when I rule the world.
Oh Beehave
Sleep? Breakfast, Emily, House of Pies. Study. School, paper. Walking through beautiful clovers. Bee sting. Study. Home and back out. Pizza, Sarah, water, sugar, driving. Study. Sarah #2, chairs. Ring ring. Josh, Diedrich’s, talk, House of Pies, talk, drive, talk. Left turn. Flashing lights. License, registration, heart beat like a humming bird. Drive home, 60 miles per hour. Study. Email, email, study. fin.
On Lent
Dr Pepper has never tasted so good.
Howdy
Being back in the City after the radically different environment is a strange socially organic feeling. It’s good to be home. And oh my goodness do I have some email to catch up on!
See Ya
Heading out of town for Easter. See you Monday!
The Wait
Well my laptop is now in the hands of the Best Buy service people. For a little background, last time they had it I didn’t get it back for almost two months. It wasn’t so bad because I had another laptop I used as a loaner, but that’s not an option this time and it’s going to be tough. I’ve added a day counter to the sidebar to track how long this takes, thoug I truly hope they surprise me and have it back with a week or two. On the bright side, since this is the third or fourth time it’s going back there is a possibility I’ll have the option to get a new laptop, in which case I’m definitely eyeing the new Z1 series.
