A mentor for many of this naton’s children left this world when Fred Rogers died today at age 74. His PBS show thar helped raise so many spanned 900 episodes and will probably continue in reruns for decades to come.

Goodbye, neighbor
Thursday, February 27th, 2003Free form to clear my mind….
Wednesday, February 26th, 2003Take me from this insurrection.
Step now in the right direction.
Romeo, was your pain the same?
How on Earth did you survive?
Days count fleeting, but no faster still.
The miles between are amplified.
Juliet, was the sun ever so hard to see?
Did you ever shed tears in fear of the night?
A many splendored, treasured thing.
That must be slow to grow.
The effort I am willing to make,
If the moon would shine to bring me home.
Where’s the beef? Screw that: Where’s the brains?
Tuesday, February 25th, 2003Say you’re the beef industry. You notice, much to your discontent, that many young teenage girls are turning veggie on you. You see billions in potential future profits flying away, and this scares the daylights out of you. How can you win them back?
Well, if you said “Let’s make a pink nightmare of a web site and push eating beef as ‘keepin’ it real‘”, then you might just have a high ranking slot on the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association board.
Having had to work on something fairly similar in marketing approach, I can appreciate the effort on the designer’s part to stomach the thought of the pure evil they were to unfurl upon the world. As far as my thoughts to the brilliant notion from the Beef board in actually funding the creation of this monstrosity, I have only one thing to say:
“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…HA HA HA HA ha ha…(you get the point ^_^).”

The day the pixels went black
Tuesday, February 25th, 2003All I have to say is that goodness I splurged on the AppleCare program for my laptop. Earlier this afternoon the screen on my iBook did the old vanishing trick, and has forced my to return it to it’s point of origin in Cupertino for repairs. I’m also thankful that I have my work system here so I’m not cut off from the net for the next week, and even more thankful for my work system monitor that allowed me to go in and see what I was doing so I could back everything up.
This is the first time getting an extended waranty has ever paid off for me. ^_^
The land before Neo
Friday, February 21st, 2003Are you a Matrix freak who loves anime? Then you’re going to truly dig on The Animatrix, a series of nine new animated stories inspired by the world of Morphius, Neo, and Agent Smith. The first four are free episodes are free, with the rest of the series coming to DVD soon.
