Seems like everybody is doing the Kim Possible in a little black dress thingie lately. This one was done by LionHeart, one of my favorite artists.

Matt posts about a change the staff has made to the Wordpress software where the blogger gets to determine the primary language of the blog. Matt mentions that in the future, the staff will be looking at modifing the back end for the different languages.

I just wish that the latest 30 posts part of the Dashboard would be of your language. :)

Matt posts that they've fixed the issue with the stats program counting your own visits to your pages. I wonder if simply turning off cookies when you visit your own blog makes the page count go up by one? Hmmm....

It's these posters here who label their posts: Post #1, Post #2, etc.

Give it a frigging title people! That way we can see what you're talking about. We might want to visit your site then.

Disney is in talks to purchase the Pixar Animation Studios. Of course that would mean that Steve Jobs, one of the major shareholders of Pixar would move over to Disney.

Maybe then Disney would get over this 65 episode limit thing that they have.

Read one of articles on the New York Times site. It'll probably go away after a few days but I can't find it on CNN. **grumble**

Mike Xeno's kicked out Chapter 14 of Sarcasm at 1600. Give it a read today.

I liked it. He seems to play on the idea of Quinn may not be so shallow as we've always been lead to believe. Also I'm wondering what Agent Lewis' home life has been like lately.

Can't wait for the party. I want to see how Quinn deals with the first lady.

Professor S' makes the argument about that it's not a big deal for search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN to turn over their search engine data over to the government. He makes mention that only the search terms are being turned over and no personal information is going either.

3 arguements for that.

They just see it as *ANY* information going out to the government - Some people see any personal information being turned over to the government is bad. Remember, there are many people out there who don't turn in their census forms every 10 years.

Snowball Effect - Also you can argue it that it might be a snowball effect. First they ask for the search terms, then the time it was done, then the destinations, then the IPS that it came from, etc.

What if they already have the other data that they need to fill in the blanks? - Now that's a scary thought. All they would have to do is go to the ISPs, get the records of what's going thru their routers, and match them up.

Can't believe I'm quoting something from ZDNet, one of the worst spammers out there but...

Here, look! New Google service strips out ads and pix from websites by ZDNet's Russell Shaw -- What if I were to tell you I've found a way to use a thus-far unannounced Google service to strip out the graphics from your favorite Web sites? Something ideal for Web browsing over dial-up PCs and low-bandwidth, non-broadband handsets?Well I think I stumbled on it.This unbranded Google "service," if that's what you call it, [...]

Greets:

I'm slowly adding in my past Daria Fanfiction pieces and Daria shorts. Today, I'm working on some of the short pieces I've written over the years. It'll take some time to get them all in here. Feel free to read them and give feedback if you want. I'm using past dates simply to keep them off of the main page.

"...[Michael] Axelrod's attorney, Jay Paul Deratany, said he planned to sue Davis and his wife for more than $1 million. Deratany said he was writing the papers Thursday for a battery suit against Kendra Davis and a slander case against Antonio Davis, and planned to file them Friday..."
