all apologies

KD tried to tell me something about my.bicycle's Comments being flonked, but I couldn't see it. I'm browsing on Mozilla on Win2k and Safari on OS X, both of which showed everything hunky dory. Since I'm an image poacher, I loaded up this site in Internet Exploder™ only to see if the remote-pilfered graphics would load, and LO and BEHOLD, the damned Comments were gone. In my experience, IE is one of the sloppiest, and therefore most forgiving renderers around, so it was shocking to see Safari and Moz holding up where IE could not. After a little fiddling, I managed to entirely break the site for IE rendering. Then after deleting a commented-out field from my Blogger template, everything went back to normal nice-nice. If you have any problems with the way things are displaying, mail me. However, I'd also like to take this opportunity to recommend Mozilla; it's flexible, steadfast, standards-compliant, evolved, intelligent, and includes an HTML editor, IRC chat client, mail application (which will not run the scriptkiddies' goods), and can even be integrated with your PDA through additional plug-ins. If you give it a chance, it will change the way you view the internet.

dan simmons’ fiction

“I came back for my own purposes,” said the Time Traveler, looking around my booklined study. “I chose you to talk to because it was . . . convenient. And I don’t want you to do a goddamned thing. There’s nothing you can do. But relax . . . we’re not going to be talking about personal things. Such as, say, the year, day, and hour of your death. I don’t even know that sort of trivial information, although I could look it up quickly enough. You can release that white-knuckled grip you have on the edge of your desk.” I tried to relax. “What do you want to talk about?” I said. “The Century War,” said the Time Traveler. I blinked and tried to remember some history. “You mean the Hundred Year War? Fifteenth Century? Fourteenth? Sometime around there. Between . . . France and England? Henry V? Kenneth Branagh? Or was it . . .” “I mean the Century War with Islam,” interrupted the Time Traveler. “Your future. Everyone’s.” He was no longer smiling. Without asking, or offering to pour me any, he ...

You could tell William Shatner that you hadn’t lived until you’d seen his one-man production of Se7en . He”d probably tell you to “get a life.” ( Chad Underkoffler )

review (kinda): collateral

After missing it in the Japanese theaters and on airplanes in-flight service and in hotel rooms’ pay-per-view, I finally saw Collateral last night via rental DVD. Due to a sense of high school nostalgia caused by Manhunter and Miami Vice (forgiving a misstep with The Keep ), I am willing to watch just about anything Michael Mann makes. Moreso that Heat , Collateral felt like a return to the stylings of Miami Vice’s action and drama, with natural, well-paced comedy to even out the emotional pacing. In a word, Collateral was good. With all the freak-out based press Tom Cruise has been given, and hearing what appears to be zealotry in his responses to a German interviewer who questioned the data as Cruise presented it, it is even easier to watch him in the role of a villain. It is probably preferable; he did a good job with the arrogant, untouchable Lestat in Interview with the Vampire , though that character was a bit more ham-fisted than the role of assassin, Vincent, pla...
