Saw the latest Wachowski bros. tip a couple days back. Bleagh! Not good. Very not good. It was like a two hour beer ad. A not very original beer ad. No content, slick colors, by-the-numbers directing. A few flashy visual tricks. Several intrusive bits of special effects business.

Just looked today at the package that Vonage is pushing through (gag) CompUSA. No signup (+$50, get back $50), pretty looking Uniden two line system, supposed discount on rates thoough it didn't sound that great to me.

Now that I'll at long last have a site for my naked cogitations I need to actually create the muckin' thing. Section heads, topic pages, listings by title and subject and date. Designing a new end-of-page log box, choosing new naming conventions, determining needed graphics.
This is all suspiciously similar to work.
Don't panic.
