Woody Harrelson has written an editorial at theGuardian.uk discussing his distaste at the U.S. government’s policy on Iraq, foreign policy, and the similarities in thought of the US and UK public.

dear president bush, to thee, i offer this piece of enunciatiatory advice. you have so many other people to help you remember so many things — is it too hard to remember ONE WORD?
silly bunts…
well, Microsoft now “regrets that Mac-to-PC convert ad I linked to yesterday. Sheesh. They do make a version of Office for the Mac, don’t they? Such a tangled web is weaved.
damnit, Microsoft, you just don’t get it, do you? You can’t fabricate success. Try as hard as you want to imitate your competitors, but you can’t imitate attractive, functional design, and you can’t just ape an excellent user interface and hope it works.
As much as I like Windows XP as a desktop, the half-arsed attempts to retaliate against Apple are just cheap.
Not that I don’t have my own qualms with Apple, but they are in the hardware business, and they need to sell the G4′s to stay alive. Maybe one day I’ll be able to run my Windows games on OS X.
the new style!
hey! check it out — “a little site design in yo eye”. This is the new codebase and design for thelocust[dot]org. note well that none of the content has changed, but the layout has dramatically!
note in the lower-right (under setup) you can change various things, most notably the “style”. try it, you’ll like it!
email me if you have any problems!
Wow! I’m such a slacker. But really, i’ve been doing a lot! I swear! The aforementioned green kitchen has been repainted a far, far sight better. “rosemary” rather than “neon”. the infotainmentplex is coming along, and broadband has been installed and is humming along nicely.
in other news, the Civil War series from PBS (and Ken Burns, notably) was recently re-shown. I love it. And just when I thought that the mountain of rock that is the White Stripes couldn’t get any higher — the clouds DEPART! They’ve posted a message that includes the transcript of Sullivan Ballou’s letter to his wife, Sarah. (Also, they embedded the mp3 of the letter read). A more beautiful letter I know not of. I wish I could write something like that — though I am not locked in mortal combat.
The New House
We moved into a new house back on the 24th of August! Moving was quite smooth, and we had plenty of helpful friends about to do heavy lifting and such (thanks guys!). Kelly painted the kitchen a shade of green that is — to say the very least — BRIGHT GREEN. It may be found in nature, but only in relation to poisonous frogs.
The basement (ne’ infotainmentplex) is coming along, too and i hope to have pictures and all that good stuff soon, but since we don’t get broadband at the house until the 31st of August, it’ll have to wait until then!
The Kentucky State Fair
new galleries! kelly made me a cake and kelly and i went to the fair. i love the state fair. it’s fun.
