thinkgeek have an oven for your pc. no, seriously. how cool is that?

the 4rthur dictionary of b3ta terms is like a fun, elitist version of the urban dictionary. minus the 100 recordings of people saying fuck.

leonard linked to a nice short guide to lex and yacc. i'm working on a new language right now, using perl and P:RD. maybe lex and yacc in the future if i get adventurous.

this seems like an interesting project if you have some devleopment slack - building peace corps sites in guyana.

"If you are trapped in debris: Swear profusely. Try not to die.". the preparing for emergencies parody is utter genius.

flashkit is a constant source of despair for me. when i come up against some dumb problem in flash, i sometimes eventually post in the flashkit forums. to date, i've always recieved an entirely unhelpful solution, and usually by the same user, which doesn't fit the question at all and assumes i'm making a really basic mistake. forums with actually knowlegeable people (like ubbdev in the days of old) are a huge asset for a product's company.

broog's done a nice review of the princess bride, which should be required viewing for sensible humans.

plurp's description of gne is beautiful: "It's like the musty smell in a library full of old books written by comical adventurers. No ... wait. That's not right. It's like laying in new-mown hay, on the very edge of sleep in the late August afternoon. Nope. That's not it. Oh! I know! It's like a fish."

scientists discover the death star. that isn't a moon, etc etc

bash of the day: I'm a pseudomasochist, pretend to spank me
