Thinking of switching from Movable Type? This blog software breakdown compares several of the most popular (self-hosted) options. In case you’re wondering, GoddessBlog doesn’t do half those things. But then again, I can’t imagine ever needing to use them. (File editor? CSS editor? I’ll stick with FTP and Pico, thanks.)

Horrors! I’m an adultescent! Well, except for the fact that I don’t live with my parents. But the rest of it is regrettably spot-on. I’d like to point out that we recently signed up for health insurance though, which hopefully is the first step in moving out of this hated demographic.

Chicagoist – a new group weblog from the Windy City. I like to keep tabs on what’s happening in Chi-town. The Snook and I have agreed that if/when we move back to the States, that’s where we’d like to settle.

Announcing the Snook-Howard World Tour 2004!
The tickets are all booked for our trip home to Indiana for my sister’s wedding in November. We’re going to be stopping in LA for a few days on the way out and San Francisco for a few days on the way back. Anybody have any recommendations for Vegas or San Fran? We’ve never been either place so any advice or tips would be welcome!

Kirsty has finished a gorgeous new sweater. I love those colors.

Check out this totally hypnotic Flash experiment involving silhouettes of people playing Catch. As you move your mouse, the red ball gets tossed from side to side. Very cool.

Wow. When I first looked at this picture of Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the New York Harry Potter premiere, I honestly thought that was Reese Witherspoon standing in the middle. Upon further reflection, Emma looks pretty but I don’t like her hair that way. Daniel looks handsome. But Rupert… Please, cut your hair and put on some decent clothes. You look like David Charles (the degenerate red-headed hillbilly boy who lived near us in junior high). *shudder*

Are you a Bad Ass? Unfortunately, I am not. I scored a measley 19 points, which makes me a certified wimp (with a “ranking” of “tard”). That’s probably a fair assessment.

Impossible Objects. Neat! I’m guessing that the Rubik’s Cubes were disassembled and inserted one bit at a time, then reassembled inside the bottle. I have no clue how they did the baseball though.

“You know, I’ve always liked that word…”gargantuan”… so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence.” We finally saw Kill Bill Vol. II tonight. It was excellent. I have a newfound respect for Darryl Hannah as an actress.
