Amusing probably only to me: early posts on phpBB DOA

About three years ago, I joined DOA, right before it moved from a Yahoo group to a phpBB group. Here are some of my early posts [subject lines only] on the phpBB version, just for my personal amusement, I guess:

I know a lot more about BJDs now than I did back then. Other than that, not much has changed. I'm still interested in a) Jareth, b) inexpensive alternatives and c) body mods. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose, I guess. This has been an irrelevant annoucement from the Boring Club.

New radio discovery: WNYC's Radiolab

In the tradition of investigative science/humanities radio shows like To The Best Of Our Knowledge and The Infinite Mind, WNYC's Radiolab centers around a broad subject, like sleep, morality or stress, and glues together interviews and intuitions about it.  While To The Best... and The Inifinite Mind are very structured and strive for authoritativeness, Radiolab is more conversational, kind of like Sound & Spirit, lighter on the scientific details, but no less interesting. I would call it casual philosophy. Seasons are tragically short, but you can find listenable archives on the Web site going as far back as 2005. I caught a clip of Radiolab from an ep of This American Life, and I agree with TAL host Ira Glass that Radiolab should have wider listenership.

I hate priming the walls.

I also think LOLcats are funny. That is why I made this stupid cartoon.

Avatar generation, Simpsons-style

The Simpsons movie has a promotional game where you can format avatars in the style of the Simpsons art. See if you can guess which of my characters is which. No cheating.
