one of the coolest things about canada is westjet - i've been using them alot lately and they rock. the stewardesses tell jokes. the co-pilot was telling jokes last night. they're badly organised. they give you cookies. they dance during the saftely demo. good stuff

oooooooh. the xl2 looks very cool - it takes eos lenses too.

at $1300US i'm very very tempted to get an eos 10d rather than waiting for the sucessor to the 1ds. hmmm, purchase time?

pulp fiction looks like a good osx newsreader, but i've been advised to wait a couple of days for the 1.0.1 release.

there's a whole bunch of cosplay photos online from the animethon. scary stuff.

stupid manila, part 2. in addition to not supporting the full blogger or metaweblog apis, it looks like they have escaping issues with the methods they do support :(

urgh. stupid userland/winer/manila. turns out that manila doesn't support the revised metaweblogapi spec, which is hard to find so no big suprise. but, err, userland created the spec. they also don't fully support the blogger v1 api. a developer tells me that you need to send the full url of your blog as the blog id to the *.newPost method - is this a userland construct or is it standard practice? crazy.

the ever-lucid MJD has some advice for newbies in this short video.

a new launch with simon waldman from the guardian: mp3blogs.org.

woah - the penny arcade omega collection looks well worth winning.
