Beauty is skin deep...
Again with the category "What you see isn't at all what you get" if you look in magazines or on TV. Although the comments newyorkish makes are quite insulting, the pictures speak for themselves. Celebrities are normal looking people like you and me, they only have the "advantage" of stylists, makeup and photoshop. Just a bit of reality:Cameron Diaz, Madonna, Rene Zellweger
Another interesting one: awfulplasticsurgery...

Language Wars
Language Wars:I'm a little bothered by all the sniping between the various scripting language camps: Lisp bashes Python, Perl bashes PHP, everyone bashes Java.
But anyone can walk up, hand $10 to a hosting company, and start serving PHP + MySQL applications. If you want to run Perl, Python, Ruby or anything else, you need to use CGI or a dedicated and more expensive server.
Not to knock those other languages (and I'd like to do some projects in Ruby or Python,) but until Mod_(Perl|Python|Ruby) becomes as common as PHP in hosting packages, people are going to build their applications using PHP.

Ein trauriger Tag für Deutschland...
Die Wahlen in Sachsen und Brandenburg ergaben 9,2% für die NPD und 6,1% für die DVU. Und das bei einer Wahlbeteiligung von 59,6% und 56,6%. Während die DVU bereits in der vorherigen Periode im Landtag von Brandenburg saß sitzt die NPD erstmalig in Sachsen, und das mit einem zuwachs von 7,8%. Wenigstens haben die Grünen den Einzug in Sachsen auch geschafft.
Kunden, Kunden, wie buchstabiert man das?
Ein weiteres trauriges Kapitel der Filmindustrie...

Freshly Squozen Pulp
Since Brent Simmons is keeping me waiting for NetNewsWire 2.0 I thought I had another look at Freshly Squozen Software's Pulp Fiction (Lite). And this is what it showed, after I deleted my inbox. Do I need to say more?
Brent, please come up with something good, or even when not, I'll definitely stick to NetNewsWire...
If anybody really wants me to tell me what is good about PulpFiction feel free to comment here...

Movie: Before Sunset
I watched the movie on Tuesday. Although it's a sequel to Before Sunrise having not seen the prequel does not matter. The whole movie ist just one long dialogue between the two protagonists, and a rather good one. Sometimes I was slightly reminded of "When harry met sally..." which is a compliment at least (and no there is no fake orgasm in Before Sunset *g*).Before Sunset a definite recommendation.
