    Homing Hippogriffs Air Traffic Control

    Okay, The Official Harry Potter Website is seriously addictive. Not only is there a new trailer, there are games all over the Marauder’s Map. I think I’m going to be dreaming hippogriffs tonight. And that’s just one of a number of stupid, addictive little games there. I’m going to bed… (yawn)

    Farscape Has In Fact Been Mostly Dead

    Thanks to ***Dave I now know that Farscape is coming back. And that makes me happy happy boingity boingity yippy yippy puff puff cough cough collapse in chair happy. However, it’s apparent that there’s a major spoiler if you click on this link (but nothing David and I didn’t predict). I’m just saying that in all the pink and red and black little bits of matter in the final moments of the final Farscape episode, there was no fleshtoned stuff at all. And that means…nekkidness

    Deep Space Nine

    Arrrrgh… we didn’t set up TiVo right for this:`Deep Space’ boldly goes to Spike TV… we set it to record the whole marathon, but forgot to set TiVo to keep more than 5 episodes at a time. D’oh. We like DS9 when it was on, but missed a lot because it was shown at a weird time here. Maybe they’ll continue repeating, though, and we’ll catch up eventually, as we did with Stargate-1

    We’re moving!

    David’s sent his resume’ off to a major Internet company and thinks he’s got a realistic chance. We’re shooting for the moon here, but “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” Sorry what I said earlier about it being an outrage. Hope this doesn’t screw up his chances. Edited to add: Here’s the email David sent off with his resume’… And here’s mine… And so now all we do is wait for the call.

    Playing Catchup

    With limited ability to stay current with some of the blogs I read, I had to content myself with scanning headlines in Bloglines a time or two. But not all of the blogs I read have RSS feeds, and my connection was so slow using dialup at Mom’s house on the laptop that I just had to bide my time and wonder what people were doing. For example, Ben Saunders is still on the ice. A couple of new entries at “Learning Moveable Type” – thanks, Elise! Clack is gloating over AOL’s new anti-spam tactic – raffle off the spammer’s…

    Sad News

    Alistair Cooke’s death was sad news for us this morning; we were lucky enough to hear quite a few installments of his excellent BBC NEWS | Programmes | Letter From America radio series, owing to the fact that our local :NPR affiliate, WBEZ, broadcasts BBC World Services on Saturday mornings. I’ll miss that warm, erudite voice very much. Dammit.
