I have no idea how to describe this, so I'm only going to say this:
Puppets. Bullet Time. Ping Pong.
You just have to see it to believe it.(~3meg Windows Media). For maximum effect, watch it without sound the first time (the crowd noise is distracting).

For now it just forwards, but ibiblio is in the process of virutal hosting, so….I decided that if I was moving into a professional mode and looking for jobs and such, anonymity wasn't what I was going for. I also registered cryptonom.net for future use.

Go, Go NC legislature! NC just became the first state to get a law to the governor concerning the right to refill inkjet cartridges. Sounds wierd, I know, but it's one of the stranger pieces of fallout from the DMCA.

finally have all my content moved to Ibiblio. Next up….my own domain. BUT…I need suggestions. www.griffey.com is out, since it's the baseball players site. Could do www.jasongriffey.org or .net….
So: suggestions?
As pointed out by Eric, Googlism is quite funny at times. Imagine my surprise when I entered my name and got exactly one result:
jason griffey is copyright the
Imagine my disappointment! I don't know who I am copyrighted by….so sad.
On the other hand, google associating my name with copyright in some way is quite interesting.
From Slashdot, a discussion (yet again) of copyright issues, and the generativity of the public domain.
NOTE TO READERS: If you're not interested in XML, XSL, RSS, HTML, CSS or other wacked web acronyms, read no further. Normal English language post later today.

Yep, I'm sure….I'm actually using a javascript on someone elses server. The code looks like:
<script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript1.2″
src=”http://corky.net/dotan/programming/feed/feed.php?out=js&url=http://www.unc.edu/~griffey/blog/rss.xml“>
</script>
So the javascript on HIS server is redirecting the HTML to my site. This is why I'm not sure I can apply an XSL sheet to the XML of my RSS….it's getting HTML'd on HIS server.
Or am I just crazy?
After much playing, finally figured out how to include my RSS feed in my homepage. Didn't do it elegantly, and I still need to figure out how to apply some Style to it…anyone have any idea how to link an XSL to the RSS? Currently, I'm using Javascript to convert the XML into HTML, but the Javascript is hosted on another site (wasn't sure if ISIS would be happy with the Javascript locally)….so I doubt there is a good way to do it. BUT, if I can host the Javascript locally, I should be able to write an XSL, include that in the Javascript call, then have it output the HTML all pretty like.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

This may be the single coolest thing I've ever heard. Via Lessig….a half hour radio drama from 1937 concerning characters on their way to the public domain. Just wonderful given the current status of the public domain and copyright.

leaving the copyright lane for the public domain. Kim Scarborough sent this (warning: large mp3) wonderful radio show from the Columbia Workshop in 1937 about characters leaving the “copyright lane” for the “public domain.” It is a brilliantly complex and funny tale that reveals an understanding about the value of the public domain that would be hard to recognize today.
