i have created ‘le board.’ i wanted an interactive organization of information (or i.o.i.), and this blog just wasn’t doing that. the blog is good. hostages need to be shot. the problem, is that it’s more like a journal. i can have comments, if i desire, but i’ve seen what comments do on other blogs and it doesn’t interest me. i’ve also seen what can be done with message boards on other sites, and that is what interests me. lots of information, lots of people sharing ideas, and all of it in a concise package. well, i’m gonna give it a shot. after all, what else am i using my bandwidth for?

my dream is to, one day, own a movie theater that is completely shielded from cell phone frequencies. i wonder if people would be upset. would they protest and say that they needed their cell phones to work, in case of an emergency? would it be considered a violation of the first amendment? do i care? no.

doing homework for my unix class, i am struck by how funny one of my answers is. here it is in all its glory:
“Using the man page for the man command, my answer is man, formats and displays the on-line manual pages, 18.”
but nothing is better than typing “man man” into a unix commandline. it’s not gay. everyone’s doing it.

click here for the fantastic four teaser trailer. it looks like it has promise. and stan lee makes a cameo as ‘mailman willy lumpkin’. i don’t know who that is, but it’s a good name for a character.
