Interesting Sites

  • (2005-03-27) Star Trek New Voyages: fan-produced, freely downloadable episodes of new stories from the 4th and 5th year of the original 5-year mission. Maintains the look-and-feel (and -sound) of the original series, but with CGI effects.
  • (2004) OpenCyc: a project to put basic "common sense" into an open-source database.

from Other People

  • (2005-07-18) Anomalies website from Anna Nikola
  • (2005-05-11) BYU Article about nitpicky religious discrimination -- possible Issuepedia fodder?
  • (2005-05-11) American Conservative article about Bush's "free-speech zones" - a conservative article criticizing Dubya??
  • (2005-05-01) Computer Rage Article - my dad thinks I should be working in this field; I think they've figured out how to franchise it, so there really isn't space for independent operators anymore (if there ever was). Plus my time commitments make it impractical to be "on call", even if I could stand to answer the phone for a living.
  • (2005-04-22) Missy Higgins - Australian singer recommended by Yaira. Songs available for continuous lo-fi listening but no downloads.

Shiny Technology

  • (2005-09-28) Rekall DB front end
  • (2005-09-28) DVD-copying stuff:
  • (2005-06-13) Klear: site was way slow when I first tried it...
  • (2005-05-21) Vinyl Burner

Miskallaneeyus

  • (2005-06-14) this is an interesting bit of philosophizing, and so is this.
  • (2005-06-10) Hyperreality: not sure if this relates to anything, but it's... interesting.
  • Another Woozle in Vancouver
  • woozle.org -- hmm, should I start a blog on this site?

Notes for Later

A story from Sinaas, about her Oma (the one who is still alive): 

<sinaasappeltje> okay, so she worked in the bakery of her parents
<sinaasappeltje> in a tiny little neighbourhood in Utrecht
* TheWoozle nods...
<sinaasappeltje> But, during the hungerwinter of '44, there were no eggs, flour, sugar etc
<sinaasappeltje> so my oma had a plan to make pies anyway
<sinaasappeltje> She went, a few kilometers away ( very close to where we live now) to the slachthuis
* sinaasappeltje looks up slachthuis
<sinaasappeltje> ah!
<sinaasappeltje> 'slaughterhouse'
* sinaasappeltje goes buy more time.. :S
<TheWoozle> heh
<sinaasappeltje> okay.. So she went to the slaughterhouse, a few time a week, with her yuk and buckets
<sinaasappeltje> to get two buckets of blood
<TheWoozle> ("yuk"? as in "yucky stuff", or is that a Dutch word for something?)
<sinaasappeltje> yuk.. no, the thing on your shoulders
<sinaasappeltje> I will look for a picture
<TheWoozle> ahh. I know the thing, but can't think of the word.
<sinaasappeltje> it's definately an english word
<TheWoozle> Don't worry about it. ;-)
<TheWoozle> (I'll find the word later.)
<sinaasappeltje> http://www.art2go4.com/b_660.jpg
<sinaasappeltje> okay, so when she was home, she grabbed a spoon, and mixed the blood endlessly, so that it became stiff
<TheWoozle> Ja, that's what I was thinking of when you described it... I've never heard that word before (that I remember), but maybe I've just never known that it had a name...
<sinaasappeltje> ( because of the eggwhite in it, it became stiff)
<TheWoozle> (ahh)
<sinaasappeltje> and she putted the whipped blood in molds, and baked it in the oven
<sinaasappeltje> and so the bakery was the only bakery in the city that still sold pies, and nobody knew it was blood
<sinaasappeltje> :D cool he?

Notes: "yuk" is "yoke"
