I think I have the QuickTime thing sorted out. If you have QuickTime installed you should see an audio controller just below the RadioParadise badge. If you don't have QuickTime, you shouldn't see anything special and there should be no annoying plug-in messages. Let me know. 10:40:46 PM | permalink | comment [] |

"The product launch for Gulf War II had to wait a month because August is a lousy time to sell wars. And you didn't want your President Bush to cut short or otherwise mess up his vacation -- lord knows what he might do if he didn't get enough rest." Scott Rosenberg.
Even though I know this is true, even though my inner cynic wants to sneer and say, "What did you expect?", this kind of thing never fails to bake my noodle. Arg. 8:33:11 PM | permalink | comment [] |

Whoops! I almost forgot - went to see Nunsense at the Roxy last Thursday and it was great fun. That coming from someone who's not exactly a big fan of musicals. Bravo, Theo! 8:28:24 PM | permalink | comment [] |

 No way! Pistol Pete wins the Open. I though when Agassi took the third set that it was going five, but no way. Sampras ambushed him and then served out the fourth. I've never been able to cheer for Sampras because, well, he was always winning. Kind of like the Habs back in the day. But even I have to admit it was pretty sweet to see him kiss the trophy. 8:19:36 PM | permalink | comment [] |

 It's unseasonably hot here; as though the climate herself were a harsh observer of recent political cowardice, "So, what will it be then?" 3:14:20 PM | permalink | comment [] |

If you have a bowl of, say beef stew, and there is only one piece of beef - albeit a substantial one - in the bowl, at what point do you eat it? Do you save the Best for Last? Eat it right away? Yesterday I found that I wanted to save it for awhile but felt that keeping it to the very end was unseemly. So I made my move around the four-fifths mark and have no regrets. 11:20:50 AM | permalink | comment [] |

 "A phenomena of our time was the rise of Dickensian mean-spiritedness as the foundation for a respectable social credo. Our worst-paid and least prestigious jobs were those that involved benevolence, as in caring for the disabled, the disturbed, the old and the chronically sick. For most people, in most countries, increasing workloads meant the virtual abandonment of family life, not to mention civic responsibilities. Quality of life seemed to change in inverse ratio to leading economic indicators.
Why were we, in spite of our announced humanist intentions, increasingly treating our fellow human beings as means to economic ends, rather than as ends in themselves?" From Galileo's Mistake by Wade Rowland. The premise is that the alleged incompatibility between spirituality and science as ways of understanding our world is a myth, and a damaging one. Looks like a fascinating book. 10:12:00 AM | permalink | comment [] |
