had been putting off watching _No Country For Old Men_ — turns out it's really good, though the last quarter slowed down a little too much

ingenious banner ad by pringles — "worth a few dozen clicks" — http://bit.ly/160Sy9

RT @mpesce: Ok, my local is on twitter. @aurorahotel. I'm gobsmacked. Srsly. [Me too; that's a little too weird]

01July2009 07:48

vodafone _really_ don't want my money; unfortunately optus was closed this evening but i'll be there on the weekend (!)

01July2009 03:14

it doesn't quite apply the same way in Aust, but danah boyd (@zephoria) makes some great points about class online — http://bit.ly/dQKQE

someone up there doesn't want me to get an iphone; day 5 trying and now commbank's systems are offline; will try again tomorrow

seals of the US states: http://bit.ly/z5ABD (it's on wikipedia, it must be true — esp love the "walrus of alabama")

smh have been slowly driving me away but the ads these last cpl days are the final straw; have removed them from safari's topsites #smhfail

25June2009 22:38

when i want comics criticism to be robust, this is the sort of thing i'm talking about — http://bit.ly/1iSz47 — brilliant review of batwoman

25June2009 20:34

read cormac mccarthy's The Road over the last cpl days — a great read, v grim but oddly uplifting, like all great post-apocalyptic fiction

24June2009 07:40

optus offer me an "iphone deal ... just for you", but it isn't a deal at all, it's an offer to stand outside their store at midnight; no thx

23June2009 21:49

my (work) windows box has reached time-to-format-and-reinstall — i'm thinking perhaps it's really time-to-get-a-mac

loving mos def's The Ecstatic! great beats and, of course, he's an incredible vocalist

23June2009 06:30

saw lots of great films at #sff but none of the official nor audience winners! (even of the top 5s i only saw coraline) http://bit.ly/1608XY

22June2009 06:03

went for a run while recovering from the flu; painful during but feel so much better after; think i burnt out the virus

21June2009 00:47

watched @hodgman's speech re a geek president & new beginnings, to the radio & tv correspondents' dinner w/ the pres http://bit.ly/KjUD2

18June2009 11:00

it's a shame it's only back to die a slow death, but _Kings_ is some incredible television — amped up melodrama, and looks gorgeous

17June2009 22:53

the amount of metadata the iphone 3gs is including in photos is incredible (gps, compass) — @gruber links http://bit.ly/19rgId — yes please

17June2009 01:25

+1 RT @Interdome: As upsetting as it is, I'm not convinced Iran is currently fighting for democracy. http://trunc.it/g8kr

15June2009 10:56

my twitter/chatter script for http://wintermute.com.au/ got hit by the #twitpocalypse — not critical tho, just needed a DB field change

15June2009 01:01

while i love the idea of being a vagabond, tim bray & commenters capture much of what bothers me about the 4-hr workweek http://bit.ly/Qz8oP

15June2009 00:59

"If ur not happy with your job, instead of re-organizing ur life so u can b a vagabond, consider looking 4 a more interesting line of work"

14June2009 11:45

just saw We Live In Public, my last #sff for this year; good doco, but not sure how it makes me feel about living in public (aka Chatter)

14June2009 02:26

for anyone trying to understand Limits of Control, this interview with Jarmusch makes a good starting point — http://bit.ly/cDwYq #sff

14June2009 02:08

"real" augmented reality is/will be mobile, and so much more interesting than the boring webcam/marker-based variety — http://bit.ly/iLBer

14June2009 00:44

at end of The Limits of Control i wasn't sure if i loved it or if there was nothing there; more i think about it, the more i love it #sff

12June2009 12:07

the girlfriend experience was really good, even better than i expected (!), and sasha grey q&a'd — she's a smart cookie #sff

11June2009 22:38

off to the ivy for #xmedialab Serious Games

11June2009 11:49

just released an update to http://wintermute.com.au/ streaming all my twitter updates on the home page — noisy, but an experiment in Chatter

11June2009 09:24

oh noes, i will be in a film when facebook starts offering usernames — whatever will i do? (and facebook really wanna be twitter don't they)

11June2009 03:03

wondering which network to get an iphone 3gs with — i don't like telstra in principle, vodafone staying pretty quiet, does that mean optus?

09June2009 21:41

john woo's not the most subtle director, but Red Cliff was incredible — beautiful, and a well told, well-paced 2.5 hours

09June2009 02:59

(Me too) RT @mpesce: I *totally* want a 32GB iPhone 3GS. There, I said it.

08June2009 09:22

what my lasagne lacks in structural integrity it more than makes up for in awesomeness

08June2009 09:09

put some stupid logic in a twitter script and now i've been sin-binned for an hour ("rate limit exceeded"); will try again after dinner

07June2009 12:42

saw Black Dynamite as a last-minute #sff choice — loved it — a really funny, pitch perfect spoof

07June2009 12:39

the incorrect usage of "thence" in my last update has been bothering me inordinately, but i didn't have enough characters for "thenceforth"

06June2009 13:16

today's #sff — native dancer was beautiful, poignant; dead snow took a little too long to break out the zombie nazis, but was thence awesome

05June2009 03:39

only 3 hrs to the long weekend, to be kicked off with a drink, i think; pity the #sff festival lounge isn't open earlier in the afternoon
