twist of fait accomplis
Is this thing on?
Just had to share this outstanding old video of Bill O'Reilly losing his mind on camera when he used to work on Inside Edition (he used to work on Inside Edition?). I love this clip and will probably watch it a hundred times today.

These are a nifty solution to cord clutter. May need to get some.

Very, very cool.

Now available for pre-order. Excellent. [via Paul]

This is what I do with my teapot at work.

Communities for Ron Paul supporters. "These communities are not for the faint at heard..." You know, it's tough to take this seriously with that sort of lack of attention to detail.

An amusing post about calling poison control (I've called once and they are indeed friendly and helpful).
-
An "ongoing social experiment" based on twitter. Surprisingly engrossing and well executed. [via le]

I honestly didn't know that Creed was a member of the Grass Roots.

Google owns googlepoo.com. Wicked.

Wow... reading fan rantings written to a comic strip author can really make you wonder about humanity.

A FOX "news" reporter catches a verbal smackdown. Complete bush league (Bush league?) reporting.

Rubbing your feet together makes it easier to wake up in the morning? Any truth to this seemingly absurd statement?

Pat Metheny takes it to Kenny G something fierce. I may need to listen to more of Metheny's music.

Has teh humors. Will have passed it's "funny timeline" starting on Wednesday.

I once watched South Park in the apartment below Sonny's. Great story, huh?
Last year marked 10 years since I registered laze.net and next year will mark 15 years since I launched my first web site, but yesterday was a milestone, too: I wrote my first blog entry (here's the web archive's version) on a section of the site I called, simply, "What's Up with Laze." Funny thing: I didn't realize at the time it was a blog entry. But, by all current definitions, it was.
I didn't write many entries over the next few years, but started what would eventually become twist of fait one day short of two years later over on pitas.com (it's still there). Twist of Fait Accomplis launched with that name a few months later.
So, here's to 10 years of crappy blogging!
Enjoying the April rains... listened to two versions of "Here's That Rainy Day" today (Archie Shepp and Milt Jackson).
Was kind of bummed when they hit yesterday. We had planned to take Rasine to her first concert, the Green Apple Music Festival in DC. The Roots and Toots and the Maytals were scheduled to play. But, the early morning thunderstorms dissuaded us from making the trip into town. Good thing we decided not to go, since even though the concert went on, only about half of the groups played and none of the ones we wanted to see.
Instead, we had a leisurely morning around the house and headed out after Rasine's morning nap to a new vegetarian spot in Chantilly, pumping a Best of Toots CD on the way there. Took a nap when we got back, had breakfast-for-dinner, and watched a little TV. All-in-all, a really good Sunday.
Saturday was a much nicer day weatherwise. Worked the farm in the morning and Huyen and Rasine came by for a picnic lunch there afterwards. Rasine loved seeing all the animals again (it's been a while), especially digging the cows, chickens, and horses. The pigs still scare her a bit, though.
Hard to believe the year's almost a third done. But, I've been making some good progress on certain projects (and not-so-good progress on others) and have got some interesting things lined up in the coming months.

I've been itching for a hosted app like this. I just need to read over the security notes and see if I trust it.
