http://www.metaplanes.net/babel a glimpse into the chaotic mind Fri, 20 Apr 2007 12:28:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm not sure where she got it, but my mother-in-law sent me a pdf with a lovely presentation of Professor Nikki Giovani's address at the Convocation on April 17, 2007. Somewhat to my surprise, the pdf image prints out very well, so I thought I would share it here, ... http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2007/04/20/we-are-virginia-tech/ Another strong voice of support for those affected by Monday's events, Newsvine's Miss Dev has written an article based on her own, similar, experience from Columbine High School. http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2007/04/18/voices-from-the-net/ Mr. Lansing, a Virginia cartoonist, created a cartoon that I especially liked and granted permission to "send" the image to anyone who might be comforted by it. I hope my posting it here falls under that condition. http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2007/04/18/today-were-all-hokies/ One of the more well-known voices in the web design community, Eric Meyer, wrote a lovely post yesterday, reminding us that we need time to mourn Monday's tragedy before we can hope to "fix" the problems it brought to light. http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2007/04/18/a-time-to-grieve/ I haven't written in a while, but I think I finally have something to talk about. The shootings at Virginia Tech hit me harder than I expected. I haven't been back in over 5 years, and I don't think I know anyone who's there any more. Still, ... http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2007/04/17/scary-days/ Did you guys ever play a game called You Don't Know Jack!? It's a funny pop trivia game from back in the day, and apparently they now exist on the web, which flat out rocks. It's actually kinda fun. I really miss this game. http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2006/12/20/jacks-back-2/ Okay, so Angel is a great show. I've liked it a lot; it's very much in the world of gray decisions, without the typical black-and-white, good-and-evil syndrome that plagues so many television shows. Joss is good at that. He populates his shows with very believable real ... http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2006/11/14/oh-its-smile-time/ I occasionally cruise through Newsvine for articles, though it's difficult to avoid the typical flamefests that always seem to occur around politics. This morning, I read an article that was succinct and articulate. I don't really want to get into all the political stuff, because I'm not much ... http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2006/10/18/only-terrorists-have-freedom/ Is it just me, or does it seem odd that someone could be idle longer than they've been logged in? http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2006/10/05/im-wtf/ Okay, I'm afraid. South Park is doing an episode about World of Warcraft. I almost wish I had cable so we could watch this episode. I just know Cartman would be one of those obnoxious players that I always wanted to shoot when I was playing.. >.< http://www.metaplanes.net/babel/2006/10/03/pwning-south-park/
