- Clear/y Keira is blowing all the right people. Four movies in 2005. Missed the Pride and Prejudice screening earlier this week. Worried that they're going to butcher that one, the 1995 mini series (i haven't seen the 1980 one) had everything going for it, good acting, plot, dialogue and production value. I just don't know if they could pull off anything that could a candle to it in a single movie format.

- Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter?
-
"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."
Let's not forget New Hampshire's state motto: "Live free or die." This could actually happen.

- Script Type Face in CSS
-
Yes, I am being a total dork linking to a CSS file from Joe Clark's blog. What's worse, I'm going to highlight some code that I think is particularly excellent:
font-family:
Zapfino,
"Apple Chancery",
"Lucida Handwriting",
"Caflisch Script",
"Poetica",
"Sanvito",
"Ex Ponto",
"Snell Roundhand",
"Nuptial Script",
"Palace Script",
"Park Avenue",
"Poetica",
"Shelley",
"Kaufmann",
"Zapf Chancery",
"Zapf Chancery Medium Italic",
"ITC Zapf Chancery",
"ITC Zapf Chancery Medium Italic",
"Monotype Corsiva",
Corsiva,
"Zurich Calligraphic",
"Bickley Script",
"BriemScript",
"Brush Script MT Italic",
"Brush Script MT",
"Brush Script",
"Edwardian Script ITC",
"Edwardian Script",
"Freestyle Script",
"French Script MT",
"French Script",
"Kunstler Script",
"Matura MT Script Capitals",
Matura,
"Mercurius Script MT Bold",
"Mercurius Script MT",
"Mercurius Script",
Mercurius,
"Palace Script MT",
"Palace Script"
"Script MT Bold",
"Vladimir Script",
"Chancery",
Sand,
Textile,
Mead,
Script,
"URW Chancery L",
"URW Chancery L Medium Italic",
cursive;
What do you think of that as an image replacement alternative? On this here win2k machine without any nice text smoothing it's rather rough, but the idea of just using CSS and the fonts on the visitors machine is appealing. I didn't see any notice about "borrowing" code on Joe's site, but I'm guessing that if he thought people would actually use it he'd be asking people to use this code, not bemoaning the theft of code (that must have taken some work to put together).

- The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web - a practical guide to web typography
- first noticed this over at Cameron's Screen Grab Confab, vol. IV #213, so I set up a Google alert which pulled up this link dump and that's how I found this webtypography.net preview. My only concern is the use of Flash. But then again many would have the same concerns about my use of JavaScript.

Yeah, so I translated it using the Futurama alphabet on Omniglot:

- Kanan Dume Road Backbone Trail Head
-
Ok, check this out. Zoom in a bit and you'll see that the map is centered on what is actually a tunnel, a bunch of trees and earth covering the road. If you follow the road north a little ways you'll see a turnoff on the west side. That's the parkshuttle stop. The trail goes down into the trees to the north of the stop, that's Newton Canyon where last I knew there's a dead deer carcass rotting away.
If you go back to were we started and follow the trail over the tunnel you can see where it winds through the valleys and then up again to a small circular turnoff on Latigo Canyon Rd (switch to map mode if need be). That's where I began my hike last Friday. The trail continues east until it gets to Tapia Park, just south of Malibu Creek State Park.

- CoalTrain
- smoking train bearing coal stops on top of kindling. hilarity ensues.
- Email Mystery: The Daughters of Freya
- fascinating. it's a novel in the form of emails that you recieve at varying intervals. I wonder how they time it all, and how much that has to do with the plot? Do shorter emails come closer together, do they alter the length of time between sending particular emails as a story telling device, like dramatic pauses? with the novel itself sounded more like something i'd be interested in reading. sounds rather anti-sex cult. foo on that.
- Welcome to Streamripper
- should they broadcast something on KUSC that I really want to keep (and know about enough in advance to set this up) then I'll be able to record live streaming audio.

- bobbyvandersluis.com | Unobtrusive dynamic select boxes

One concern that has come about these related dropdown interfaces is that, since both dropdown appear when the page loads, who is to say that the user fills them out in order? And if they try to select the second one before the first they will be disappointed by an empty dropdown. One solution would be to initially hide the second menu. Another would be to leave the default code alone (with a fully populated dependant menu) when the page loads. The second option would require a little error catching in case the user's first menu selection eliminates their second one.
On a side note, I'm a bit concerned about a couple variable scope issues in these functions. In the first function he's passing locally defined variables to the onchange function. Maybe that's not a problem and I'm just being thrown off by the fact that the variables have the same names as the arguments in the function's definition. Either way something smells a little funny. I'm suspicious that there might be problems if there were two of these on a page.

- If I were a fan of independent films (i.e. had the attention span to watch them and pay attention the whole time and then go back and re-watch them again so I could figure out what the fuck happened) this timeline would be exceedingly helpful. via kottke's review.
