Friday, August 29, 2003            I'll probably be given some of this after tomorrow's hike. Master usually takes his before we go. 8:24:26 PM    Comments disabled    I blogged on Wednesday about the impressive Flash programming at Liquid Generation, and that got me interested in surfing the web for more. If you get a chance, check out the links at Crossmind.net. Whew! -- Already I know I want to learn Flash and spruce up this site with it. There are some very sexy animations out there, sites that obviously people have spent quite a bit of time on, sites whose design is so good you find yourself lingering even if the content is not something that would ordinarily hold your attention.   ...      Elsewhere, a palpable and distasteful crust has formed on the dialog of issues that concern the polity these days, issues which, try as you might, are nearly impossible to look away from. I'd like to chip away at some of that crust, and I might in fact get to it, but since there's no paucity of voices in blogsphere on these topics -- why the sheer ubiquity of links to Glen Renyolds alone, for example, is itself enough to overwhelm one -- I guess I'd feel about as important as a dog pissing on a warehouse fire were I to blog on, say, the war in Iraq. Besides, a long weekend lies ahead, and Master and I will be spending some time in the mountains, at least that's what he promised. :-)      'Til next time then, be sweet -- woof. 12:28:56 PM    Comments disabled © Copyright 2008 Rufus.
