Hey you, the giant Harry Potter nerd! Yeah, no need to look behind you, I know you are. Read this page of speculation about the ultimate end of the series. Perhaps far-fetched, but fairly well thought-out! Also, it was announced today that book six is "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince".

That is all.

"Teh F3ll0wsh1p of teh R1ng" - Tolkien is s0 l33t.

The concrete of the aqueducts will last as long as the pyramids of Egypt.

Cory Doctorow recently gave a great talk about DRM and IP at Microsoft. A great read with great arguments. Say what you will about Microsoft (and there's plenty), I think it's cool that they invite people like Cory in to lecture them on how wrong-headed they're being.

"Guts", a short story by Chuck Palahniuk.

Do.
Not.
Read.
While.
Eating.

Remember the guy with the best name EVAR? Well, he's got some competition...

Sweet Zombie Jesus, I just found out I have to drive to Orlando like right now to do a training. Wish me luck on the I-4 corridor, all.

Dang, a gmail invite and an orkut invite on the same day. Neato.

Awesome reource: WiFi Free Spot has a state-by-state listing of free wireless points. They even have the Ft. Lauderdale Airport spot - which is apparently placed directly at the Southwest gates (yes, right by the bar). In DC, they mention Murky Coffee on the Hill, which is a very good coffee shop.

Beautiful Flash game, with soundtrack by Polyphonic Spree. This is very cool.

Yet again, checking in from the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Jason asked after my last post why it seems that everyone drinks Bloody Marys in airports, and I have no good answer for that. I can, however, report in on what everyone actually is drinking. From the right - gynnan tonnyx, Absolut on the rocks, Heineken (my own), a margarita, an unidentified beer, Coke, red wine, and that's as far as I can see. Strangely, not one bloody mary drinker!

Saw "Prisoner of Azkaban" last night. It was very good. You should go see it too.

The dark background look was a little too 1998, so I picked a new template. This isn't much better, but it will have to do until I have some time over the weekend to hack together my own.

Ann Coulter has completely lost her shit - she's now denying that Rush Limbaugh ever compared the Abu Ghraib torture to hazing. She's all but sticking her fingers in her ears and going "Lalalala ICAN'THEARYOU lalalal". And this is on the Bill O'Reilly show for godsake. Hi-larious.

This 'best of craigslist' posting makes me very happy.
